Scottie Barnes has been impressive on defense over the Raptors three-game winning streak. This level of focus and leadership can definitely make a strong case for him to be an All-NBA this season. Watch my latest 2-minute video on IG ⬇️ instagram.com/reel/DQrkKfTDB… #NBA #WeTheNorth

Nuggets can turn a inverted off-ball screen into a 5 & 4 pick-and-roll (and notice the weak side exchange). Could Jokic become the sixth player in NBA history with 12.0+ assists per game in a season? Watch my latest video on IG ⬇️ instagram.com/reel/DQuI85wjM… #NBA #MileHighBasketball

It is very easy to fall in love with Derik Queen. He has the main characteristics of the modern center, but already being given trust, have an impact and make play after play like this is very exciting. Watch my latest video on IG ⬇️ instagram.com/reel/DQ1-M5LDA… #NBA #Pelicans

Cade Cunningham is carrying the offense for the Detroit Pistons which relies a lot on his ball handling creation and on his connection with Jalen Duren. They are turning into a very special duo. Watch my latest breakdown on IG ⬇️ instagram.com/reel/DQ4jAAkjE… #NBA #Detroitbasketball

The OKC Thunder are not at full strength yet, but it didn't stop them to be off one of the best starts in franchise history. The reigning champions keep getting better and it is a clear message. Check out my latest article on Substack ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/nbastudy/p… #NBA #ThunderUp

This type of cutting is becoming very common to see within the NY Knicks' offense and this possession exactly shows the effect. On the middle drive Bridges and Anunoby relocate, one defender call to switch and the other is focused on the ball and it ends in a shot at the rim.

Luka Doncic is shooting 65.5% FG on 2P attempts, by far his career-high and highest mark among players with less than 50% of FGM assisted (via CTG). He is dominating when he puts his feet inside the arc. Watch my latest video on IG ⬇️ instagram.com/reel/DQ9slfCDK… #NBA #LakeShow

This is why I really like Brandin Podziemski before any stat: he his always active, sacrifices his body, makes hustle and winning plays not always immediate to perceive. Clip 1: random screen for Moody that saves possession Clip 2: zones weak side in 1vs2, crashes board and opens

Some Flex action courtesy of the Toronto Raptors, used out of SLOB. They integrate a first screen on weak side before swinging the ball and getting into the STS. Great combination to have the first screen inverted and Poeltl's screening talent as second exit. #NBA #WeTheNorth

The Warriors are the best team to "short" the PnR creating a triangle, they did it with Green also in the previous game. Notice Wemby calls to switch to be closer to the rim and Curry always chases the ball to keep defense on alert for a possible Get action. #NBA #DubNation

Love the process behind Antetokounmpo decision making, spacing around him helps. Empty side and double team, notice weak side: Turner lifts, Rollins fills corner, Kuzma cuts to the rim and make the two defenders react. Giannis kicks out at last split second. #NBA #fearthedeer
