Summer League Preview Group D Brooklyn Nets86 - John Wall 83 - Eric Bledsoe 79 - Josh Richardson 82 - Paul Millsap 91 - Joel Embiid Total Rating: 421 Dallas Mavericks91 - Kyrie Irving 84 - D'Angelo Russell 86 - Brandon Ingram 79 - Derrick Favors 80 - Daniel Theis Total Rating: 420 Chicago Bulls80 - Ricky Rubio 84 - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 81 - Michael Porter Jr. 86 - Bam Adebayo 87 - Rudy Gobert Total Rating: 418 Miami Heat78 - Mike Conley 80 - Marcus Smart 96 - Kawhi Leonard 81 - Brandon Clarke 85 - Andre Drummond Total Rating: 420 Group D is the group of coach death, with Spoelstra, Kerr, Popovich, and Budenholzer all in this one group. It also looks to be the group of defense, as every team except for Dallas went for a strategy of stacking defensive talent. I think this strategy backfired a bit for Chicago here, as they went for Bam and Rudy with their first 2 picks but ended up as the weakest offensive team in a group with similarly defensive teams. I just don't see where this team is going to get its points from. Outside of Chicago, the other 3 teams in this group could be a complete tossup. The Heat have the best player in the group in Kawhi, but also have some serious offensive question marks in the lineup. Dallas has the strongest backcourt of the group, but has the weakest frontcourt and may struggle with the bigs of the other three teams. The Nets are balanced all-around, and may end up benefiting from a group of disjointed rosters. Prediction: 1. Brooklyn Nets (2-1) 2. Miami Heat (2-1) 3. Dallas Mavericks (1-2) 4. Chicago Bulls (1-2)Yea go ahead and call me biased, write your own articles if you want
