Wolves Vs. Mavs Is Something Totally New

by John Wilmes

In the 2024 NBA, regime change has arrived, and old templates won't tell us what's coming. Luka and Ant-Man aren't following old bibles about how to win, closely mimicking anyone who came before them, or sticking to their reputational patterns.

Could somebody explain why Austin has been ranked so high all year on nbadraft.net? I believe he has been ranked as the no.1 pick all year and is now rated no.2 for the 2009 draft. I could see the potential with his wingspan, but other than that I havent been really impressed and I am a Gonzaga fan. I figure he will get more playing time next season and improve on his numbers but still a top 2 pick?

Potential is the key word but the sentence should read: Potential to be a huge match-up problem (ala Keven Durant).

Way too high of a projection even with his potential IMO. There are and will be others that should go ahead of him. His determination to improve could change this however.
