Brandon Ingram's Team USA struggles; How has NBA evaluation changed in 2023? Detroit Pistons in 2023-24, Sacramento Kings post-breakout
Mark Schindler joins the show and we break down a few different topics that are happening either around the NBA or adjacent to it.
First, we'll start with Brandon Ingram's struggles with Team USA. Do they matter for his future? What does this say about Ingram and his standing league-wide?
Then, we move to the Sacramento Kings, an interesting team worth discussing in light of their offseason where they decided to run it back. What do the post-breakout 2023-24 Sacramento Kings look like?
Finally, we chat about how basketball evaluation has changed in the last 12 months? Is there anything that we've noticed or continued to pick up upon that stands out?
