The NBA's *average* pace in '16-17 was faster than the 7 Seconds or Less
Suns.

I like the fast pace of the league, but I hope there's still room for a
variety of styles. Would hate to see teams become too homogenous - has been
great to see teams like the Grizzlies etc. play the game a bit different.

Hard to see that happening though. Three point shooting and pace have been
exploding in the last 5 years. The pendulum swung too far towards defense in
the early 2000s, but it looks like after the rule changes it's just going
the other way now.
