We’re only 5–7 games into the NBA season, which means it’s officially time to overreact responsibly. The Pelicans look lost, the Nets might already be prepping for ping-pong balls, and meanwhile Victor Wembanyama is casually announcing that the league now revolves around him. We check in on the early plus/minus winners and disasters, break down how the 2026 draft class stacks up against recent years, and look at the early Rookie of the Year race.

We also get into:

• What are the Pelicans even doing right now?
• Would the Jazz with Michael Porter Jr. actually be a good team??
• Is Luka going to keep up this MVP-level insanity?
• Can the Lakers actually push into the Top 4?
• What’s the short and long-term direction for Ja Morant and the Grizzlies?

Plus: Alex tries to run a very unserious fantasy trade on Skit, and we revisit our 2022 draft takes now that Ryan Rollins is showing life and Matt gets his well-earned flowers.

Basketball chaos. Friendly disrespect. Actual analysis.
