Day-to-Day NBA Podcast: The NBA's nicest surprises

The Step Back Day-to-Day NBA Podcast

We look at the NBA players who have shown new skills or improved their play this season on the latest edition of The Step Back's Day-to-Day NBA Podcast, hosted by Jason Mann. With guest Ian Levy, editor in chief of The Step Back, we discuss Marc Gasol's clutch 3-point shooting for the Grizzlies, Rudy Gobert's uptick in scoring for the Jazz, Terrence Ross posting career-highs for the Raptors, Otto Porter's improved spot-up shooting for the Wizards, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope holding together the Pistons' perimeter defense, Kemba Walker shooting more off the dribble for the Hornets, Avery Bradley's historic rebounding numbers for the Celtics, and Harrison Barnes becoming a go-to scorer for the Mavericks. We also consider the morass that is the Eastern Conference, who we think might emerge as the third-best team, and which of these great starts seems sustainable and which might come down to earth.
