On this week of Below the Rim, the team got together to do a little "buy", "buy-if", and "never buy" (also known as sell) of early season NBA trends. We debate:

• Topic #1: Ant, SGA, and Tatum are better served with the improved number of 3pt field goals they are taking per game. They're more impactful players, and their team is better off with the increased frequencyTopic #2: The Phoenix Suns are true NBA contenders AND KD can be the best player on a championship team
• Topic #3: Any NBA rookie will play meaningful minutes in the playoffs this year
• Topic #4: The Indiana Pacers of this year are the Charlotte Hornets
• Topic #5: Cade Cunningham is making the leap and will end the season as a top 20 NBA player

Alex & Brian give there basketball takes, with a deep dive into what we'd like to see from Tyrese Haliburton and how we would like to see defense talked about more broadly.

Lastly, the team pitched Adam Silver Jr. on what they'd like to see different in the NBA, and we crown our first segment winner.
