Obviously there's crap-ton of people in India. They definitely seem like they're starving for NBA level entertainment. Kings vs. Pacers - this game is really entertaining so far in the first quarter. I still think Walton can really coach with talent - of course, all coaches are better with talent. Fox, Hield and Bagley can all keep getting better (Bagley can be a lot better just with more time and in his second year). And the Pacers will still be sneaky role player good. Fun game so far.
Well, replying to myself, lol. Obviously pre-season is pre-season, but so many players change hands now over the summer and you forget where some of these really good role players end up. On the Pacers side, they were basically gifted TJ Warren, and Brogdon is basically the perfect player for McMillan. When Oladipo is healthy, this isn't a championship team, but a team that can once again cause trouble for people. Brogdon, Oladipo, Warren, Sabonis, Turner. Love Sabonis. Love Turner. Don't forget this team was one of the best defenses in the league last year. There's no MVP candidates, but as much as I scratched my head that they let their Bogdanovic go, they replaced him with multiple good players. Oh... they also add Jeremy Lamb. Surprise... Lamb average 15+ ppg last year, 5+ boards with 35% three point shooting. He's a legit good player now. Meanwhile, as I noted above, the Kings have all their young guys still getting better. Not sure which team will be more interesting to keep an eye on as a fun young team to watch...
The Kings will be more entertaining to watch IMO. Fox/Bagley have X Factor DNA. Also Giles if he can find some footing, he was ranked #1 coming out of HS before his injuries.
