betting line is 22.5, sounds like a little low. wondering how much JJJ rises, his foul trouble always a concern.

I'm not much of a gambler, so don't take this as advice. But Bane was averaging more than that last season before he got hurt, and this year, with Ja out the first 25 games, I think he has an opportunity to pad some point totals before sinking back a bit.

Not sure how much more JJJ has in him offensively. But to your point, if he can stay on the court longer, everything will rise accordingly, particularly with Morant out.

what do you think Bane averages PPG this season?

He was 21.5 last year. My head says 23, my heart says 25. Depends largely upon how he meshes with Smart. What do you think?

Liked the point on Des being a solution. As well digging the clips!

Thanks! Yeah, video is such a helpful tool, although there's always a danger that you end up cherry-picking non-representative clips. I try hard not to do that.

I used to embed Youtube clips that I uploaded, but a friend suggested I make gifs so it works in people's email, and it's been very helpful!
