LOCKED ON NBA - ESPN’s Kevin Pelton early insights, trends and team thoughts

Kevin Pelton is one of the brightest minds in the NBA and he brings his insight to Locked on NBA.   David Locke and Pelton start by talking about the Eric Bledsoe trade and the impact that will have on the Milwaukee Bucks.

The conversation moves to teams building around young stars and then to the early season trends including increased pace.  Locke thinks that offensive rebounding has become more important than ever with the decrease in offensive rebounding around the league.

Pelton shares that stars aren't getting calls like they usually do and the impact it is having on some teams most notably the Thunder.  

Is the play of Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis an indictment on Russell Westbrook?  

Then Locke and Pelton go rapid fire on teams touching on Boston, Cleveland, Toronto, Portland and Memphis
