They are ninth on offense.
They're eighth in defense.
Those are pretty good hallmarks for playoff success.
But I need to see them play well against these good teams they got coming up.
And I need to see how Anthony Edwards handles when a team is game planning to take the ball out of his hands because it's been too easy for teams to do that in the past.
Put two on the ball and say, we're fine with Julius Randle trying to beat us.
We're fine with Jaden McDaniels trying to beat us.

Harper had him, I believe, at four sirens.
Tass, same, lower, higher.
It all depends on Tatum whether or not you want to...
Add a siren because if Tatum is there, I would go five sirens because I not only just understand what Tatum can provide to that team and his playmaking before his scoring, but I also assume that he's going to be extremely healthy.
