Polarizing.
Frustrating.
Inconsistent.
There are so many adjectives one could choose from to sum up Aaron Nola’s 2023 season that it’s hard to choose which is most apt. I could spend this time trying to spin narratives, dig deeply into the data and try to tell give you the ol’ “well, actually....” when it comes to his season, but it’s near impossible. There are positives to find for sure, but it just wasn’t that good of a season for Nola.
At least, as good as we’ve come to expect.
