The seasons within an off-season are always fascinating.
First, you have the NBA Finals hangover — which was nice and long, thank you for asking — then it’s the manic two weeks of free agency where your favourite player leaves you for Los Angeles and you cry yourself to sleep. Then, muscle watch season begins, as second-year players drain jumpers over the MVP of your rec league while in a vigorous sweat.
Now, we’ve hit the last off-season season before training camps begin: rankings season.
Love it or not, the player rankings are coming hot and heavy, with Sports Illustrated taking the first crack at things.
