I know he is on a rival, but I've always liked Giannis

I've always liked him, but that's faded over the last couple of seasons.  It's hard to root for somebody who is standing directly in our way.

Rob Williams is my favorite non Celtic player.  I know he is inactive now because of an injury.  I still like Rob!

Hard for me to pick anyone other than Jokic. He's just so fun to watch. I'm in the Bay so Curry is up there too...as is Draymond *ducks*. Draymond other than his antics is just such a unique player.

Anthony Edwards has quickly risen to "must watch" status. He's incredible and easy to cheer for. SGA is easily up there in terms of likability and talent. Wemby is a must watch.

Those are the most fun guys for me to watch. Adding to the list of "favorites", I really like Jalen Brunson, Haliburton, Maxey, Mikal Bridges, CJ McCollum. A shame most of those guys stand in our way.

Favorites are SGA, Anthony Edwards, Marcus Smart, Timelord, and Jokic.

Though as Roy said, I love Giannis but it's a little hard when he's a direct rival lol. Otherwise I'd say Jimmy Butler too.

I love watching Draymond too. Amazing watching him decide games without scoring the ball. I love players like that.

Early in his career I loved Kyrie.   The handles, the shooting, the obvious talent.  There were some minor squabbles with coaches and teammates, but I overlooked that. 

But, his flaws ramped up more and more, to the point where I had no interest in seeing him traded here.  I rooted for him, of course, but he was just such a fake.

In past years it had been Kawhi Leonard. That season in Toronto was pretty incredible. Just dominant on both ends. Also feel like he has an old school feel to his game.

Wouldn’t say a “favorite”, but I did like watching Ja Morant and Zion. They are just freaks athletically.

I could see Chet Holmgren being a player that I will tune in for going forward. I like how he plays on both ends and he’s a super efficient player. High IQ.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
