Preseason action will be in full swing over the next few weeks as teams get the opportunity to measure themselves — strengths, weaknesses, individual matchups — against opposing teams.
And that's where coaches will have their first real chance to evaluate what adjustments to make before the league's ninth season tips off in early October.
As is the norm in the bj-league, with a high turnover of coaches and players, each season is a real rebuilding project for most teams. Stability in terms of personnel is quite rare, and so the first full week of preseason play will begin the evaluation process.
