Alex Speers and Andrew Schlecht break down the biggest storylines from the first week of the NBA season, including why they're already bailing on some of their NBA preseason predictions.

Then, Derek Parker joins the show to talk about Darius Acuff's outstanding start to the season, his development, and what it could mean for his future.
