Mike goes solo and picks one fact for each of the 30 NBA teams to show where every season is headed. Early standouts include the 7-1 Philadelphia 76ers behind Tyrese Maxey's 29.1 points per game, Luka Doncic at 38.3 points per game for the Lakers, and Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, whom Mike calls the Rookie of the Year front-runner. He also flags big concerns, such as Anthony Edwards missing about two months with a knee injury, Oklahoma City's injuries to Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Chet Holmgren, and Nikola Jokic's 22 percent shooting from three. Along the way you hear his takes on the Zion Williamson question in New Orleans, Cooper Flagg's start in Dallas, and the rookie guards drafted in the same range, including Darius Acuff in Sacramento and Mikel Brown in Brooklyn. If you want a fast, opinionated lap around the whole league, this is your episode.
