Banchero, like a lot of his teammates, has labored tirelessly to enhance his recreation this offseason. “We really feel like we’re proper there,” he stated. “We’re proper there with all these (elite groups within the East). I bear in mind final yr, we began the yr off as a top-two, top-three seed and all people thought it was a fluke. Everyone thought we have been going to be a play-in workforce and drop out the highest of the East. We completed robust and received the fifth seed and had an opportunity to actually seize the 2 seed on the finish of the season. We have been proper there final yr. We received higher this yr. I received higher; all of us received higher. We received some new items which can be going to assist so much. We’re making an attempt to make some noise. We should always simply be a top-four, top-three workforce, and have an opportunity to win the East.”Supply: NBA.com
