Are these guys actually going to be wearing Sketchers during NBA games? That’s normally part of a sponsorship deal, isn’t it?

This is a really good (and long) piece about Morant. Some really great quotes and anecdotes.

The Spurs starting lineup has Jeremy Sochan playing point guard.

Over/under on how many MVPs he’s going to win?

He still has a lot of things to figure out. He's got a little Bol Bol in him sometimes, and that's obviously not a good thing.

Tough to say... If he stays healthy I bet he gets 5. Jokic is still going to be around for a while, same with Giannis but could see his production sliding a bit with Dame there now. Embiid will still be in there too.

I can see Wemby making both All-NBA and All Defensive teams too. The guy's just another freak.

Yea... he's definitely a diamond in the rough but man, once he's polished :shock:

I don't see any way the guy stays healthy. Maybe he does but all the odds are against him. No one his build has been able to do it. He could be the first but my guess is foot trouble will derail his career at some point in the first 5 years if not sooner.

A lot of guys are going to try to swipe the ball from him when he dribbles in space and that can lead to some awkward collisions.

Yeah, KD was healthy for all but one season until he was 31. That's about as good as it gets from an injury luck standpoint.
