Training camp and preseason revelations do, in fact, have a place in the NBA.
Exhibition play is too often dismissed as meaningless, because the games do not count toward the standings and rotations league-wide are littered with players who won't make the roster or get much regular-season burn.
But those caveats do not render the preseason worthless. To the contrary, the Assocation's beta period is a time for learning, for figuring out what a team has to work with and for small- or large-scale epiphanies.
These realizations can be anything, on- or off-court related. Is a certain player prepared to make the leap? Does a rotation long shot now deserve regular-season playing time? Have any key team pieces fallen out of favor? Is one squad unexpectedly good at something? Is another shockingly bad at something else?
