  • McCain's fit with Tyrese Maxey in an undersized backcourt
  • Kyle Filipowski possibly having the best offensive season of any NBA rookie
  • Filipowski's longterm fit with Utah's glut of forwards
  • Paolo Banchero's ceiling
  • Orlando's need to surround Banchero with better spacing to maximize his efficiency
  • Whether the new front office in New Orleans will or should trade Zion Williamson
  • Potential contenders that could benefit from Williamson's skillset as well as manage his absences
