My favorite thing in the league not related to the Raptors this year is the absolutely bonkers guard situation in the west. These are the pairings (with my approximate ranking):
Westbrook and Harden
Lillard and McCollum
Curry and Russell
Conley and Mitchell
Paul and Gilgeous-Alexander
J. Murray and Harris
Hield and Fox
D. Murray and DeRozan
Beverley and Shamet
Doncic and Wright
Ball and Holiday
Bradley and Green
Rubio and Booker
Teague and Okogie
Morant and Brooks
That's just an absurd wealth of guard talent. The top 4 all have 2 all-star calibre guards (except McCollum). The next 4 all have at least 1 all-star calibre guard and one really solid piece. The next 4 are sub all-star, but still really solid.
