How it started, how it's going: Checking in on early-season NBA promises

Tuesday marks exactly four weeks since the 2023-24 NBA regular season began. Most teams have played somewhere between 12 and 14 games -- not quite a large enough sample to make definitive declarations about how they'll finish this season, but more than enough to check in on how some preseason promises are paying off.

It's easy for players, coaches and front offices to make lofty declarations in September, before anyone has taken the court. Teams promise to play a more uptempo style or limit stars' minutes. They insist their newly assembled star pairings will fit seamlessly.
