i don’t think i could describe the last hour from Isiah Thomas calling this game to someone if i had ten lifetimes. what is happening?! 😂
For the record, @ShamsCharania got an incomplete, basically wrong scoop from an agent and we spent a week giving him more traffic and attention for the mystery. Keith and most others know how to report contract details (only print what you can corroborate as accurate)👇

Chet Holmgren shot 37% from 3 as a rookie and 38% from 3 as a sophomore. Meanwhile he was in the 100% percentile of rim protectors. Invaluable and rare 2 way big man archetype in the modern NBA.
