I really didn’t know what to expect from anyone this season but I gotta say, everyone has at least MET my expectations (aside from maybe Chandler, but I should have known his time off would set him back)

But I feel like these four guys have been way better than I thought. Butler with his relentless defense, Oweh with his clutch play and tenacity, both of them with elite shooting thus far. Brea is the most efficient offensive player in the country. And while Williams is probably closest of these 4 to what I expected, I didn’t see him averaging a double-double with 11.5 rpg.

Although I think the obvious answer here is Mark freaking Pope. He’s blown my expectations out of the water. But of the PLAYERS, who’s your pick? 😁
Ansley Almonor should be on this list and win IMO. Obviously Oweh is running away and deserves it, but he was always supposed to be a big part of this team. Almonor and Garrison have exceeded expectations so far the most I’d say.
