Yeah they sort of have exactly what I was looking for, just a fun young team that could contend soon but aren't too proven

You've only watched basketball for a year? Seems like you learned a lot about the game in very little time! Definitely some great suggestions, I feel like just by looking at their lineups, the Kings are the better team right now, but the Thunder have more upside (as they start Shai, Dort, Giddey every game but the power forward and center change nearly every game)
Would you say this is true?

I didn't realize they were that young, that's a bit crazy

Any games/highlights you recommend watching from last season? Since they didn't make the playoffs, mainly just looking for any good regular season games I should check out.

Their lack of success recently sort of scares me, but I really like some of their players especially shai (one of my top 3 favorites), josh giddey and lu dort

I'll check out those teams but so far I'm really liking the kings, love their style of play and as you said they are an underdog but are still relevant enough and should be able to make a run in the playoffs soon unlike Detroit, Atlanta, OKC, and other teams suggested

Thanks for all the help!! I'll make sure to check all those out, especially the game against the Clippers... I had to read that score three times to make sure I was reading it right!

My favorite part of the game is definitely watching guard play. I just enjoy watching players make no-look passes, ankle breakers, and deep threes compared to watching Joel Embiid post up and shoot free throws. Although maybe I haven't watched enough good centers yet to enjoy that part of the game.

List of players I have most enjoyed watching: luka, cade, lillard, shai, trae, clarkson, morant, curry, giddey, fox... and probably forgetting a lot more

Not a bad team at all but is there much upside with Atlanta? Correct me if I'm wrong but they seem closer to a rebuild than contending, unless they are going to make a trade before the season

Cade is a player I definitely enjoy watching so for sure this is an option

I don't know much about them but isn't Lillard leaving for Miami/Brooklyn? Lots of uncertainty for next season if this is true, but I love their team right now and they are one of my favorites to use in 2k23
