The Ringer's Rob Mahoney On Early Surprises & The Impressive Rookie Class

On Wed.'s No Dunks, Rob Mahoney joins the show to make observations about the first two weeks of the NBA season: What’s the biggest surprise? What about the biggest disappointment? Is there a team that should hit the panic button this early? Who’s your MVP pick? What about Rookie of the Year? All that, plus why the Hornets and Raptors should trade for Domantas Sabonis, whether 15 games in one night is a good idea, and why Jaylen Brown owning a 24 carat gold-plated harp is a good idea. And so much more!
