Taylor Buckley: OVER

Ryan Snellings: OVER. I really like this starting unit. C.J. Miles, Al Jefferson and Rodney Stuckey coming off the bench isn’t too bad either. I think this team could turn some heads and snag the three-seed. Paul George will live up to his 2k cover nod.

Jacob Collins: UNDER. Whoa, I feel out of place here. I think the moves this team worse in the aggregate; especially with a downgrade at head coach.

Parker Fleming: OVER. This team is extremely solid. Paul George is an NBA MVP candidate. Myles Turner and Thad Young are an athletic, versatile, 4-5 combo. Monta Ellis and Jeff Teague makes for an interesting backcourt. Their bench trio of C.J. Miles, Al Jefferson and Rodney Stuckey may be the best 6-7-8 man combo in the league. Not only will this team go over, they will also give a top two-seed team fits in the NBA Playoffs in the first or second round of the playoffs.

Ian Pierno: OVER. My pick to earn the third seed in the east.

Ryan Schmitz: OVER. I don’t think it will by much, but this team does have talent. I think Vogel is a better NBA coach than McMillan, but I like the lineup of Teague-Ellis-George-Young-Turner with big Al Jefferson coming off the bench.
