One of the many reasons why I would develop Caleb Wilson to be the most lethal 2P scorer and FT drawer in the NBA. Less focus on sky high 3PAr, more focus on the total 2P package
Caleb Wilson with the crossover, low sweep, step-through against Hugo Gonzalez to get to the line. Super impressive that he can already create space to attack like this.

I’ll never get tired of watching Cooper Flagg get to that floater. Such a huge shot for him to have so early in his career

VJ Edgecombe has made so many winning plays tonight for the 76ers. They NEED him to win a championship even if he isn’t a high usage player. The literal glue guy on this team.

Feel like every time I look at Rockets-Mavs on my tablet screen Amen Thompson is forcing another turnover on defense. Has been absolutely insane on that end tonight for Houston

I’ve enjoyed the Labaron Philon minutes for the 76ers tonight

Cameron Boozer triple-double last night, his scoring process definitely improved (only 1 shot I'd say was poor on that fader in the mid-post), but LOOK at the passing. I count 8/12 assists coming in quick action on the move for a 6'9" power forward. This is what makes him special

I need to say this, and then I'm logging off social media for the day: the fact that you can't say something nice about an NBA rookie just because their shooting percentages are bad (take a look around, that's almost all of them) is the most asinine thing I've seen on X.

The NBA still has had teams that are well put together than can win the title on majority top-heavy veteran extensions like the Knicks, but there is a real youth shift happening to where the Top 2 players are going to be on their rookie contracts or "fun maxes" and that's how teams win. That's just the reality. You have to draft well and hit on multiple core rotation players on good contracts to have the financial flexibility to fill out with key veterans. That's the NFL model for the most part right now, is win while the QB doesn't take a massive cap share so you can build out the rest of the roster.
Haven’t really made this point yet, but have been marinating on the thought… If the Yaxel stuff is THIS real (I have no reason to believe it’s not)… the Warriors basically got the NBA version of a QB on a rookie contract. Yaxel locked up for his athletic prime at 4% of the cap. Absolutely nuts.

Kingston Flemings has been so impressive to start the year for the Atlanta Hawks. In control, decisive, and has toggled really well between picking his spots to score, and when to set up his teammates. Playing the position like a vet.

Kingston Flemings had an unbelievable night against the Miami Heat: 23 PTS (9-12 FG), 5 Assists, 2 Turnovers. Tell me this doesn't look like Houston Flemings. Rhythm mid-range pull-ups, defensive event creation, AND hitting three triples. Should be the starting PG in ATL...

Two players worth spotlighting for the Wizards last night: Obviously AJ Dybantsa's scoring debut is a headline, but Kyshawn George 11 assists to 0 turnovers ia also noteworthy. He's making these reads in command, on the move. His development will help to skyrocket the Wizards.

Evaluating Keaton Wagler last night, it was all about his play inside the arc. 1-7 on 2P, but got to the line 12 TIMES! More importantly, he's finding ways to get downhill and he's playing aggressively. Young guys struggle with physicality, but Wagler is still playing TOUGH.

So at what point does Adam Silver have to come in and end the terror that has been the Pelicans mismanagement?
The Pelicans are open to trading Herb Jones, who is averaging just 3 points in 17 minutes per game, per @FearTheBrown New Orleans is reportedly asking for two first-round picks in return. “League sources say the Pelicans have held firm at an asking price near two first-round picks, though no team has met that figure. Many in the league believe Jones' value will continue to go down if his minutes continue to be sporadic. Jones' contract is also slated to jump next year from $14.9 million to $20.8 million. Nevertheless, several playoff teams view Jones as a valuable cultural and basketball fit.” (Via intheno.net/herb-jones-caree…)

If the idea is to start a long-term franchise, not just one season to win the title, then the only player I’m taking over Cooper Flagg is Victor Wembanyama. Period.
Got asked how many players I would take over Cooper Flagg right now if I was starting a franchise. The number is startlingly low.

That AJ Dybantsa step-through floater on the baseline was SMOOTH

🐻 NEW STORY @YahooSports: ESPN, The Ringer and CBS Sports all left Ty Jerome off their Top 100. Advanced metrics, though, saw him as a *Top 10* player. Now he’s the Western Conference Player of the Week. How analytics predicted NBA’s breakout star: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…
