The new NBA season is so close we can almost taste it. Media Day is less than a week away, and preseason will shortly follow. Coaching staffs around the league will put the finishing touches on their plans, and players will work out twice daily to get their fitness up.
Preseason is an exciting time for basketball fans. We get our first true look at the incoming rookie class. Star talents want to flash their improvements. And coaches want to build on what they built the year before. That excitement also stems from the media, where there will be actual basketball to cover, rather than rumors and citing sources.
