One of the earliest innovators of the ball handling point-forward archetype that is so beloved today
Lamar Odom was so much better than people (especially the morons who post that Lakers team picture every six months, hoping everyone will think Kobe Bryant's supporting cast was bad) remember.
Scouting Latin America series thread: Part 1: Nicolas Martinez - Uruguay x.com/kalidrafts/sta…
For teams looking to gain an edge on international recruiting, the Latin American market can provide some intriguing talents. Meet Nicolas Martinez, a 6'10" Uruguayan wing who moves like a gazelle, finishes aggressively at the rim, and has already played with the senior NT.
KD just be on twitter randomly cooking randos & it’s hilarious One of us (except he’s a 7-foot unicorn scorer) but still
People trying to say that a front office is dumb for not paying a player that NO ONE in the league is offering a better contract to is some twilight zone stuff
Scouting Latin America, part 2. Standing at 6'9" with a 7'2" wingspan, Winicius Silva is the closest thing Brazil has to an elite prospect. The 20 y/o menacing big man's 6.5 BLK% led the top division by a wide margin, & he finished top 10 in my BPM calculations for the league
Taylor Hendricks is one of my candidates primed for a big breakout year He’s got the length, athleticism, and frame to be a disruptive defender at the next level Prior to going down with injury, he was averaging 1.3 blocks and 1.7 steals per game Only 9 players averaged 1+ SPG…
When you realize this demon is JUST now 21 years old and still growing into his frame after reportedly getting an inch or so taller since being drafted Happy Birthday to the player with one of, imo, the highest ceilings in Washington, Bilal Coulibaly
RT to wish @Bilaal_6 a happy birthday 🥳
You can tell how the game has evolved from an efficiency standpoint alone Shot diets & play styles influence that a ton, to be fair But in ‘21-22, DeMar DeRozan averaged 27.9-5.2-4.9 on 50/35/88 splits for an EFG% of 52.1 Cam Thomas just averaged 24.0-3.3-3.8 on 51.0% EFG Am…
TMac vs Kobe 2000 - 2005
When the shortest player in your “small-ball” line up is a 6’6” athletic freak, you know the NBA has evolved
This small ball lineup is actually insane.
I hope people 10 years from now remember how great Blake Griffin was I’m not speaking hyperbolically when I say 18-19 Blake Griffin is very similar to what Cooper Flagg will be like offensively in terms of NBA role and ceiling Blake was *that* good
Any Pistons fan should recognize this… #Detroitbasketball #Pistons
Jamir Watkins led all Summer League players with 4.0 steals per game He landed on a Wizards team on which all of his tools (length, ball-handling, and shotmaking, and versatile defensive acumen) are valued and uplifted AND, he’s such a dawg with a mindset that I LOVE
Jamir Watkins is a defensive menace on the perimeter He’s got great timing with his steals & a knack for creating extra possessions with his defensive tenacity, plus the length & athletic gifts they love Think the Wizards found themselves a good one 👀
Nothing hits like coaching kids and getting a W with them
ESPN’s failure to properly value and retain top talent like Givony who actually delve in research and create good, reliable and meaningful content is just another reflection of how they’ve succumbed to “hot-take” culture They’re more concerned with going viral than with properly…
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…
You know what’s dope and a really underrated part of this era? How young stars and cores are sticking together We’ve got OKC, Houston, Orlando lined up to play together for years Next up, you have teams like San Antonio, Washington, and Philly with young, tightknit team
