There are absolutely some positives that can be taken out of a 1-5 start that should get everyone excited about the Pels future. Brandon Ingram has shown to be a star with potential to be a superstar. Lonzo Ball has shown to be better offensively than expected by most. Zion fixed a problem that could have been a long time lingering issue. Jaxson Hayes is getting important minutes that he wasn't expected to get. Jahlil Okafor can be a nice piece for the future, not just an end of the bench guy. And like you said, almost every game we were in the hunt for, despite being young, new to a team and injured.. All of the negatives have been on the veterans so far mostly with JJ Reddick, Derek Favors and Jrue Holiday all under performing. But those guys have proven themselves already, so I expect that to change soon. The only other negatives are the constant injuries and NAW's play so far(still getting valuable PT and will greatly improve). Overall, I may be even more excited about our future than before the season started, I'm just less excited about our present as I thought that we could be a low seed playoff team.
