NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Spurs: Rebuild mode
Unloading DeJounte Murray had clear implications; the Spurs are in the rebuilding mode. They have a young squad and with Devin Vassell getting the keys as the ball-handler, they have shown that the development of youngsters is their priority. Doug McDermott is a veteran but he isn’t an assertive offensive player. Jakob Poeltl is a superb inside player but not the type who can lead the team to 50 wins or so whereas rookies Jeremy Sochan and Malaki Branham can enjoy decent roles. It will be interesting to see what the young Spurs cook up here.

Thunder: Defensive potential is high
Last season, the Thunder showed terrific discipline on the defensive end and even elite offensive teams had trouble against them. However, their offense was all about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and was among the worst in the league. Tre Mann’s growth and Josh Giddey’s play who is a tremendous passer and pace-pusher will be huge. Luguentz Dort is a big part as the two-way wing whereas rookie Jalen Williams has shown a lot of promise too. The frontline has defensive promise but Bazley and Earl-Robinson aren’t exactly offensive threats.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks

Josh Giddey(OKC)
Giddey is one of the best all-around guards but he will need to develop a much efficient scoring for the Thunder to grow this season. He can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.

Devin Vassell(SAS )
Vassell showed promise as a shot-creator last season but he can also end up with a high number of assists as he is the only reliable ball-handler alongside Tre Jones.

Tre Mann(OKC)
Mann is a high-yielding sharpshooter and he can be up for a big season here after showing immense growth.

Keldon Johnson(SAS)
Keldon has a more-than-reliable three-point stroke and can spread the defense as a wing. However, his rebounding and defense can be erratic at times.

Luguentz Dort(OKC)
Dort is a high-tempo wing who plays tough but he can have shooting issues many times.

Doug McDermott(SAS)
McDermott has a lovely shooting stroke but he is the type who lodges 20 points one night and just 3-5 the other, as an example.
