On this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, Tom Haberstroh joins Kevin and the show begins with a conversation about the 1-4 Milwaukee Bucks and whether it’s time for them to panic and start looking for trade destinations for Giannis, Damian Lillard and Brook. López.
The Memphis Grizzlies, coming off a decisive victory over the Bucks, seem to be the picture of stability, but their injury problems from last year may once again crash the party.
Spurs center Victor Wembanyama became the third player in NBA history to net in more than a single 5×5 game. How much will he have in his career? And why isn’t the Spurs offense better when he’s on the floor?
The guys use the news of Paolo Banchero’s oblique injury to talk about the six players who were stars last season and are currently dealing with injuries at the start of the NBA season.
Things are trending up, but Tom points out that rookies are playing fewer minutes than ever to start the season. How can we get the Rockets to release Reed Sheppard? And is Ryan Dunn the favorite to win Rookie of the Year now?
Finally, the guys talk about why they are worried about Anthony Edwards shooting more 3-pointers and discuss why no one notices the increase in dunks as well as long range shots.
