This week on The Atlantic Files:

Welcome back to The Atlantic Files, your go-to podcast for all things NBA and the Atlantic Division! In episode 322, we’re checking in on the Monday night slate of NBA games and breaking down how the Atlantic Division teams are performing so far.

Mike dives deep into the Brooklyn Nets rebuild, analyzing their young core and this year’s intriguing rookie class. Are the Nets quietly building something special, or are they still stuck in the mud?

We also talk about the Orlando Magic’s rough start — is it time for fans to panic, or is this just early-season turbulence for a young, talented team?

Then, we ask the big question everyone’s been debating: Is Victor Wembanyama already the best player in the NBA? From highlight blocks to jaw-dropping scoring performances, Wemby’s dominance is becoming impossible to ignore.

Plus, we spotlight the most surprising NBA teams so far this season, whether they’re overachieving or struggling to meet expectations. And to wrap things up, we predict which players are primed to take the biggest leap this year — from future All-Stars to breakout role players.
