The slower teams frequently have the best records. Faster teams generally the worst.
Makes sense. If a team can't play efficiently in the half court, then they don't compete well into the playoffs. Make the other team expend energy defending and limit the number of possessions your team has to defend.
It's a reason why Luka-led teams have a chance regardless of their positioning.
Excited about the incoming draft picks, but I hope they don't contribute to an "8 seconds of less" mindset.
