I'm starting to think that might be part of the problem. Like, maybe Cody doesn't like basketball that much and he did it because his brother did it and brought Cody along.

Truly.
Whether I look like a genius or a fool, I absolutely hated the pick and said as much (while trying to get on board and positive once the decision was made). Whenever you can draft someone who has no motor, pedestrian skills, and is both a featherweight and slow, you have to go for it.
I think we should factor in Cody’s brother as much as we do with every other brother which is to not factor it in at all.

The Oklahoma City Thunder legitimately piss me off. To have the best point differential in history, while being incredibly young AND setup for the future.
I know they'll have some contacts to juggle when Chet gets off his rookie deal, but it's just insane how perfectly this has come together

Good scouting goes a long way. Aaron Wiggins was drafted 55th late in the second round. Isaiah Joe was claimed off waiver. Dort was undrafted. Not to mention their spectacular record in the first round. If you can consistently scout and recruit good players to your team, you will be competitive in just about any sports.

I played high school basketball with the brothers of Tom Chambers and Danny Vranes. Those bros were definitely playing because they were supposed to. I remember a reporter asking Tom if his little brother played basketball beyond HS. The unprompted laugh of Tom still makes me laugh. If you know, you know.
Yes, it's unfair.
Their team is built exactly how I would want our team built, with two way players who can really defend. I would love the build of their team even if they didn't have SGA. They wouldn't be a title contender at that point, but they would still be a really good team.
By the way Cason Wallace just had a really great March. 11.5pts/3reb/3ast/2stl/1blk 55/50/88 shooting splits.
I think Wiggins is good, but I also think it's easier to look good when you are playing with other good players. OKC has the talent and a system that makes it easy to come in and be a positive player.

Nikola Jokić scores career-best 61 points in double-overtime loss to Wolves
Nikola Jokić's 61-point performance for the Denver Nuggets is the most points scored by a player this season.
The dude just is a cheat code. A walking cheat code. How the hell? Most points in a triple-double in NBA history. Crazy. Too bad it was for a loss, but wow anyway.
SGA has been better
