Who will be the most fun (non-superstar) player to watch this season?

Buhler: Steven Adams, every single year until he is a superstar.

Williams: Mario Hezonja is everything right with the world.

Yeung: It’s Tony Allen, because there are a few guys who are as good on defense as him, and some of those guys are much better at other things, but none of them are more fun to watch than Tony Allen on defense.

Masterson: JIMMER FREAKING FRE- oh, you mean in the NBA? Given that we’re in the age of the tweet-and-text avalanche whenever somebody starts carpet bombing from three, I’m keeping my eye on Devin Booker. This, of course, presumes that Kristaps PorzinGOAT is already a superstar.

Rossman-Reich: Monta Ellis. If only just to see if he gets traded for Rudy Gay and makes the Internet explode.

Barnewall: Kemba Walker’s crossover is still the most underrated move in the NBA. When he’s got it going it is pure entertainment.

Rowell: Dion Waiters got the keys to DJ Khaled’s jet skis. The Heat are going to be awful, but I can’t wait to see what Waiters Island looks like when it moves just off the coast of Miami.

Israeli: The conversation starts with Kay Felder and ends with Kay Felder. I am all about Kay Felder highlights (we talkin Vine game) in 2016-17. LeBron and K-Fed for the White House.
