Ahead of Week 2 of the In-Season Tournament, we asked our panel of NBA reporters to share their early impressions of the league's new initiative.
The NBA In-Season Tournament resumes on Friday with a slate of seven games. This week, we asked our panel of NBA reporters — Ric Bucher, Melissa Rohlin and Yaron Weitzman — to give their early thoughts on the In-Season Tournament and share how they'd improve it for next year. 1. Week 2 of the NBA In-Season Tournament tips off on Friday. What were your first impressions from Week 1? Weitzman: I was a cynic on this whole thing, so I'm still in TBD more.
What about a top 10 draft pick? Or even top five? Bucher: I'm not opposed to upping the prize for the tournament; in fact, I'd prefer something that is a team benefit over cash for the players. But a playoff berth seems a little too out-sized as a dividend. I'd take a deeper dive into what else players covet – being exempt from having to play overseas or their choice of when and where or if they play on Thanksgiving or Christmas? I'm spit-balling.
