Awesome defensive play from Kon Knueppel. His defensive motor makes up for some athletic limitations. A lot of guys would have died after getting stuck in the screen. High effort defenders with size, IQ and physicality are rarely bust on the defensive end. #SummerLeague

Maluach attacking close-outs on the perimeter and yelling for the ball when he has open 3's, is a pretty exciting sign for his long term development. #SummerLeague #PhoenixSuns

It’s not often you see a fast-break where the ball touches 4 players hands with only ONE dribble. Flashes of what the Nets are trying to build with this draft class coming to fruition in Summer League. Connective passing is contagious!! #SummerLeague #NetsWorld

The acceleration and deceleration as a live ball handler has always been impressive, rare ability to control the defenders pace.

While Joan Beringer has been impressive throughout Summer League, he does need to clean up some of his offensive decision making. These are textbook examples of bad shots, either take 1 step back for a 3PT or attack the open space. #SummerLeague #Timberwolves

Kon Knueppel Defending Drivers: Kon is forced to turn his hips almost immediately and looks much more comfortable sliding vertically then horizontally. He is at his best defending straight line drivers and his poor acceleration/deceleration make it difficult to react quickly to

Three Things I loved from Collin Murray-Boyles 20 point performance: 20 PTS - 8/13 FG - 1/3 3PT - 9 REB - 2 AST - 4 STL - On 13 FG attempts, CMB took just 4 dribbles. - Excelled off-ball, mirroring his future NBA role. - Balanced his usual shot diet (putbacks, cuts,

Check out my latest article on Belibi, the 16 y/o who took FIBA U19 by storm this summer. With a lone offer from Long Island University, he is still flying under the radar and is poised to generate significant interest from college programs this summer. #FIBABasketball

How do the Phoenix Suns want to develop Khaman Maluch? Let's see.... (Suns) 3 Games: - 7 Driving Attempts (0/2 FG - 2 TO - 3 Drawn Fouls) - 13 3PT Attempts (3/13) (Duke) 39 Games: - 4 Driving Attempts (2/2 FG - 1 TO - 1 Drawn Foul) - 16 3PT Attempts (4/16) Obviously, he will

Charlotte letting Kon play 5 Summer League games, including after splitting his head open, speaks volumes to the culture they are trying to build.

Why Should Duke Fans Be Excited About Nikolas Khamenia? Khamenia's skill set perfectly scales into an off-ball role that fits Duke offense. He doesn't rely on high-usage to be effective and is efficient when used in a smaller role, like this Summer with USA FIBA U19. A 6'8

Jeremiah Wilkinson quietly had one of the most impressive freshman season in the country, earning ACC Sixth Man of the Year honors, before transferring to Georgia ahead of his sophomore year. At 6'1, Wilkinson generates paint touches with ease, where his craftiness and touch

Dame Sarr Pick and Roll Scoring: He has the skills to be a traditional 3-D wing, relying on catch-and-shoot 3's and attacking closeouts to score, but he also flashes impressive self creation ability. He played point guard until his growth spurt and had moments of brilliance as a

Darryn Peterson Defensive Notes 🏀📜: Darryn Peterson’s defensive engagement fluctuates throughout a game, when he isn’t engaged he gets stuck in screens, lost on rotations and has a tendency to gamble on steals and blocks which can leave his man open for kick-out three’s.
