Current philosophy baseline, 19-20 year old HM D1 prospects: You should look at feel: 50/50 eye test/stats tools: 25/75 eye test/stats Shooting: 75/25 eye test/stats TOTAL: 50% feel, 30% tools, 20% shooting Article series explaining on patreon
Remember that poll I had with JG/Cam THomas prior to last year
The Nets’ offer to Cam Thomas is a two-year, $14.1 million-per-year deal with a team option, per @JakeLFischer (h/t @Fullcourtpass )
I'm gonna start posting parody aggregate articles. "Certain corners of the basketball community online have long debated the basketball skills of the analysts that cover the sport. Jamie Shaw put that talk to bed this week when he swiftly posted a video draining three pointers"
I think a better question is.. if we have all these stats and records evaluating the players.. Why does no one evaluate the analysts and scouts out there? Well except me just recently.
Question….. How dudes be evaluating talent & they couldn’t even hoop? #CarryOn
the only games ppl that rate Brown super high saw are the ones he shot 55% on threes in.
Mykel Brown is not what top guard prospects look like , sorry but you guys fall for the okie dokie Doke a lot
I always thought it was a little "sudden" the way Roy Williams, Tony Bennett and even Coach K and Boeheim retired. Now I understand tho.. They saw NIL coming and kenw that the age of being this charismatic figurehead with all the power as a program builder & "developer" is gone.
Guys if you can please sign up to the patreon. My benefits got with held this month for some bs paperwork I didn't submit on time so I'm brooooooooke
I’ve watched hundreds of AAU games this summer. I feel like 2 things would help like 90% of offenses at this level: 1. Immediately sprint back out to space after pass on a drive into paint 2. Don’t re-drive a drive into the same gap. Shoot, swing it or at least drive opposite
I was just thinking how influential JG has become. Everyone had AJD ... Then he rated DP 1 and now thats pretty much consensus.
My time at ESPN has come to an end. Thanks to everyone, past and present, who helped me grow professionally the past 8 years. Although ESPN offered an extension, we were unable to find alignment on my value to the company. I will continue to analyze the NBA Draft, college, high…
I'm probably the only who cares but this is fascinating to me All came in thru 2017 draft

Think of Emmanuel Mudiay (2015 7th pick). -Seems lost vertical leap since China league Ankle injury. -Compare to before/after china, his jump height/process was way worse and lower. (His SL rim attack height was weird to me. Too low, and seems hesitate to take off powerfully)
I average out 1 year peak EPM (Taken in three 6-month incraments) with 29 year RAPM for every player with at least 3000 career minutes for my stats re-draft/pick value project.. Anyhow, the 6th highest in 2019 draft is Terence Davis... Kings pick up his option? Cuz if not...
Because I've been too nice to Duke guys lately and I gotta have EVERYONE hate me :) PJ Washington, Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson all have played more career minutes than Zion (and Ja for that matter) All 3 also have a higher career, age adjusted RAPM than RJ Barrett.
Top 16u EYBL prospects according to my "all in one" 1. Ahmad Hudson @AhmadHudson9 2. Davion Thompson 3. Jahari Miller 4. Donovan Davis you can see the rest along with per 70 poss stats for everyone up on my patreon.
Can't wait for Celtics to get the 3rd pick and draft "low upside" Cam Boozer after a NPOY and Final 4 season
Udoka Azubuike has the record for standing vert + Reach at 12'2 Kel'el is 2nd with 12'1 Yanic Niederhauser and Tacko Fall at 12'0.5 the only others to reach over 12. Greg Oden, Zhou Qi and Scottie Barnes all at 12.
