Even though the NBA season only started last Tuesday, most franchises have already played three games, and we can therefore get back to our good habits with the traditional “five majors of the week”.
And for this first week, the choices are quite clear. It is indeed impossible not to select the Thunder duo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And Chet Holmgrenthe basis of their team's perfect start to the season.
To accompany them, Trae Young deserves to be mentioned, despite his ball losses (10 against the Thunder…) while Jayson Tatum got off to an equally impressive start.
Finally, Anthony Davis is (finally) at the center of the Lakers' game, and he proves that when he is in full possession of his means, he is one of the most dominant players in the league. Let's hope it lasts for him…
