And that's the issue with a lot of Detroit's role players and supporting cast is like these guys are good players.

They're clearly up to performing in the regular season.

They've had some good wins even without Cade.

It's just hard to think that this group as constructed has everything they need to outlast what's an increasing list in the Eastern Conference.

But they need more and they need more.

And it's going to be their kind of project for the offseason, I suspect.

But let's get through it first.

And to kind of round this out, we've got the Lakers at 3%, the Wolves at 2%, the Rockets at 2%, and the Hornets, Magic, Heat, Sixers, Hodgepodge at 1% apiece.

Because...

I think this is respectful to the Hornets, but also Vegas, or in this case, FanDuel, will take anybody's money.

So if you would like to bet on the Hornets or the Sixers to win the title, they're not going to turn you away.

Right.

But Isaiah, hit us with the next question from Kevin.

I do like both of those picks.

Can we talk about Bouzelis a little bit off the top, Kyle?

Because he was my preseason pick for most improved player, jump

jumping the gun as far as what he could be this season, I think.

But over these last couple weeks, I think he's pretty consistently looked like the best player on the floor for the Bulls.

The all-around game has been there.

The shooting has come on really strong of late.
