The NBA Season Hinges on THESE Players | ALL NBA PODCAST

Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the biggest NBA storylines
heading into the season, starting with why Paolo Banchero could
be one of the most pivotal players in the league. They discuss
how Desmond Bane might elevate the Orlando Magic, whether Cade
Cunningham is ready to take another leap, and why this year is
critical for Donovan Mitchell and Joel Embiid. The guys also
highlight Trae Young’s potential to spark a breakout year for the
Hawks, Jaden Ivey’s role with the Pistons, and Amen Thompson’s
growth in Houston alongside Jabari Smith and Reed Sheppard. Plus,
they explore if Cam Johnson makes the Nuggets real title
contenders, how De’Aaron Fox unlocks Wemby and the Spurs, and why
Luka Dončić’s transformation could be the key to the Lakers. To
close, Legler shares why he believes Steph Curry and the Warriors
can still win it all and names Terrence Shannon Jr. as a major
x-factor for the Timberwolves.
