The ways Nique keeps his dribble alive, in transition and on that lovely spin off the baseline save, are improvements many bigger guards take years to make. Give me Carter-Keon-Nique-Keegan-Sabonis lineups. Sub in Schroder/Monk or Raynaud. It can work.

Maluach was 12 on my 2025 draft board, Wolf was 20. Thought those two were much closer than it seemed. Wolf was the better college player. With the Suns’ challenge for ballhandling, I would not mind them trading Ryan Dunn for Wolf after the final whistle of this game.

You cannot teach a 7’5 wingspan.

Everytime Mogbo makes a non dunk I feel proud of him

Gradey Dick had his best game of the pre-season — showing off his full offensive package That + Chucky Hepburn and Mogbo 👇🏼

Thoughtful thread here. I agree with a good deal, but I think Jase Richardson specifically is interesting. Sheppard, McCain and Jase in back to back drafts. None will flop, but I’d assume nearly all evaluators are cynical about the ultimate impact of at least one of them.

Hansen Yang will make all-rookie. One of the few rookies with an actual chance of winning ROY. The Blazers will play in a playoff series this season. Most underrated team in the league.

Both will make all-rookie. Vacate that paint baby

Es’ Raps Republic vid on Collin Murray-Boyles v Kings is urgent. CMB, besides his special skillset, has quickly shown what I wanted more of at SC - playing as tirelessly as his mind moves. He has shed weight and retained strength. T5 CMBers (4th for me), rest easy. He’s got it

A focus of my most recent ep with Lauren Gunn. Cooper wants to be a maniac. Surround him with maniacs.

yes

Ken Pomeroy shooting my shot (i do realie this isnt BPM-scaled per say but based on my research still insightful to apply it)

Huge project out now! Super proud of the team that worked on this, Specifically Conrado Pascual , Julian Mendelsohn , Zach Rudeen & Steven R. Bagell, J.D. for all of their hard work & hours bringing it together. Check it out! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Genuinely tearing up as I type this. This isnt an easy business, so to see the hard work from our team get recognized like this means the world. The support the community has given from the jump has and will comtinue to motivate us. PROUD to be a part of the No Ceilings crew

I couldn’t be happier for the entirety of our crew. So many people on our team do SO MUCH work behind the scenes that they don’t claim credit for. This wouldn’t happen without THIER WORK and YOUR SUPPORT. If people didn’t engage with our content, none of our work would matter.

Happy to announce that I’ll be joining the Indiana Pacers as a Basketball Data Analyst! Grateful for the opportunity to join a very talented analytics group in Indy. Been an incredible journey these last few years, excited for this next step! 🤞🏽

talking about the Nets' rookies with one of the most insightful draft thinkers on here, then previewing the defensive landscape of the league this season fun times. here's a tidbit on why Ben's gotten off to a faster start than Nolan:

The mindset from Jabari Smith Jr has been there in the preseason. Knocks down a corner 3. Sees Poole on him and dives to the post. Another post up where he drives and finishes.
