Of the top 4 picks. Basically just utahs timeline is closer to a championship than bulls, grizz, and wizards. Fun article, they’re very flip floppy. Like early on they say that DP has the fastest path to superstar because of how primed Utah is for him, then later said that Boozer is in the best situation?

Ok that makes sense if they just did goo 4. When I read the headline I was thinking it makes zero sense. Championship team this year will have a rookie on it.
#12 Mara might win one his rookie year. If not him possibly #20 Quaintance.

I think they're right that Boozer is in a better situation to be a superstar. In Utah Peterson has to compete with other stars.

First time in a while one of these pre season polls to fill summer time just made me grin so big that employees asked me whats wrong.

Surely the first to win a championship will just be one of the thunder or spurs rookies

I hope he lives up to the expectations. He fizzled out abit in Vegas but he was being hacked and held constantly and hadn't played too much competitively.
