Who's the NBA's BEST Second Option? | ALL NBA Podcast

Adam Mares and Jason Timpf dive deep into who is the best second
option in the NBA? They discuss how many stars a true contender
needs, whether LeBron James still qualifies as the league’s top
No. 2, and why Jimmy Butler remains underrated in that role. The
conversation also covers stars like Jalen Williams, Karl-Anthony
Towns, Evan Mobley, Jamal Murray, James Harden, Alperen Sengun,
and Cooper Flagg. Later, they make bold predictions on team
performances including the Orlando Magic’s offense, Celtics’
3-point volume, Nuggets’ on/off splits with Jokic, Rockets’
half-court offense, and Knicks’ pace, before closing with their
most watchable NBA League Pass teams.
