If there’s one sure thing that can be deduced from preseason basketball, it’s this – Everything, absolutely everything, should be taken with a grain of salt. There’s a player averaging 30 points per game? Easy now, that doesn’t mean he’s in line to be the next scoring champ. Oh, you mean the Golden State Warriors lost to the Phoenix Suns? I don’t think anyone foresees a swap in the standings coming any time soon. So the Utah Jazz are 4-0? Don’t expect a perfect regular season.
You catch my drift? Preseason is exciting as it gives a chance to see players back in action for the first time, and it can be revealing to some extent, but overall it’s no indicator of how well or how poorly any individual player or team is going to perform.
