For 3m: What player/team is the biggest surprise of the NBA season so far? Who is underperforming? Who is overperforming?​

 

[Panic!]

Over: Cavaliers - This is not sustainable but their 3 big lineup is working so far.

Under: Spurs - If I remember correctly, all their losses so far were close games. They'll figure it out.

Miles Bridges 25 ppg #2 option is biggest surprise

UnderPerforming: Suns. 1-3, just lost to the kings at the buzzer.

Over: Washington Wizards. 3-1, not gonna sustain it

I think Nets have been a bit surprising given the expectations

Underperforming is Harden to me. He has had a really rough start for a top level player

Wizards seem to be overperforming

 

[Cloud]

I mean it has to be Miles Bridges averaging 26 and 8 like what even is that

Kind of a boring answer but I don’t see how it isn’t Harden, didn’t think the rule change would shatter his entire existence and make him just another guy

There’s basically 0 chance Washington is capable of sustaining this level of play (4-1). They’ve beat some good teams too but I don’t see that being a playoff team in general much less a top 4 seed

Nets have to be underperforming given two MVP caliber players like KD and Harden on the same team

Given no star other than Beal, Wizards are having a nice start to their season. I see them as a 44-38 type of record team by the end of the season

 

[Curry]

I mean sadly because everyone is saying it and it’s boring is Miles Bridges. Simply put, he’s hooping and so is the team.

underperforming: Kyrie Irving. I was expecting a better off court performance than this. I need Jan 6th rallies, anti-vax statements, political campaigns etc so far he’s just been on IG live. Not enough for me.

Uh I don't really pay a ton of attention league wide these days so for the Wolves..

Over: Ant. The kid is an animal and despite the fact that I expected him to come out looking good, his ability to get his own shot and get a bucket is further ahead than I thought it was going to be.

Under: DLo. Despite his pop off game he started the season playing like a sack of shit and I truly hope the worst is behind him. It's prob the worst he's played since his Lakers days.

 

[Kings]

Definitely miles bridges. He’s been elite so far, did not see this coming. Really like his game

as far as underperforming I’ll give a biased answer of DeAaron Fox. He’s been awful to start the season.

Celtics Edition:

Over: Robert Williams. Believe he leads the league is blocks at the moment. Knew once he got more PT he’d shine.

Under: Smart. Looks awful as the PG. Should go to the bench and start Dennis.

The most surprising start probably has to be the Bulls. I think the expectation was that they'd be a playoff team this year with all of their off-season moves, but it has translated into success quicker than I would've thought. DeMar is such an underrated player in the league.

The team underperforming is the Suns. Going from a finals appearance to a 1-3 start is not ideal. They still have the guys to be a contender in the West this year, I imagine they'll pick it up.

The team overperforming is the Warriors so far. Curry is just going crazy right now, it's not sustainable, the team isn't that good.
