Content creators: You don't need to resort to lowbrow tactics and overreactions to build your brand. Way too much of that in social media. Go the other way. There's no longevity in that. Focus on your community, no matter how big or small. Play the long game bc when you get…
The Cam Spencer upgrade
Would highly suggest watching Quinn's tape as opposed to purely looking at the numbers before making a judgment call on his stock (honestly how we should evaluate EVERY prospect but I understand the value in Spreadsheet Scouting)

Rylan definitely starts because he's the one guy who can fit the best around more ball-dominant players. My guess is that if 2 more on this list start, it would be Zeke and AJ.

What we're seeing in the NBA playoffs: If you're a 2-4, you have to be able to dribble/pass/shoot/defend. Period. If you're exclusively an off-ball scorer or spot-up guy, regardless of potential defensive limitations, you're putting so much more burden on your star creators.
Sometimes my day job does some pretty cool stuff. 5 years later with the company, and I got a bowling ball with my face on it!
Also don’t tell me role players don’t matter. Those threes from Haywood Highsmith tonight have been as big as any other shots in the game. Having players who can step up and contribute more than their average in big games is so crucial to winning at the highest level!!!
Hard to not be impressed with Bam Adebayo’s shot making tonight over Horford and Porzingis. The balance and touch is something that has consistently developed each season. Awesome to watch.
Player Breakdown Christian Anderson 6’1” 165 pounds - one of the top 2024 guards available Comp: Boo Buie’y
Ant Edwards and Jaden McDaniels performing on a big stage. It’s an NBA Youth Movement and we’re just living in it.
Far too many people underestimated the Wolves to win this series because of regular season results. Wolves are built for a playoff series like this. Size and defense with enough guys who can dribble, pass, shoot. Suns have scorers but are missing too much of the other stuff.
Gotta be honest, I love this. KJ could’ve been a 1st rounder this year, but is that the best move for his long term career if he’s not ready? Teams are quick to move off guys within a few years if they aren’t ready. Long-term financial success vs. an initial rookie deal.

The Federal Trade Commission just banned Noncompete Clauses. If you work in Media, you know all too well about how onerous these things have been. This is a MONSTER moment. Via @nytimes
Couldn’t be more proud of my guys @PeeWeeDaPlug @KOT4Q and the crew @notbpod for making it on TV!!! Big time can’t wait to eventually catch up with y’all again on the road!!
The NBA has become more about the margins than ever before. You can't just pay 3 mega stars and expect to fill out with minimum guys or players with limited skill sets and call it a day for a title. Either pay 2 stars and fill out more depth, or improve in the margins like BOS.
I feel like I've watched the same 76ers offense now for four years in a row in the playoffs. Ball movement becomes stagnant, nothing but Embiid and co-star X having to take tough shots because teammates/the ball don't swing and move. So much volatility.
This pick is probably out the door for Philly in trade, but there are some guys in that range that could help the team as early as next season.

This is outstanding work by @BaumBoards Detailed and researched. Opinions based on body of work. Spent real time on it. Great work.

Cannot emphasize enough the complete agreement with this sentiment.
Phoenix tried to show you do not need a point guard which was bad. They have bucket getters but no flow, no easy paint touch or dump offs. No organizer to get easy offense. Everything hard on Book, KD, and Beal you need a point guard to control tempo and feed them easy looks🤷♂️
List of ultimate connector pieces. Low-usage wings who take care of the ball and stand out with their efficiency on all three levels. Jalen Bridges is the outcome. A guy I was high on before the 2023 NBA Draft, but who I haven't spent much time watching this season.
Honored to have made a small contribution to @AlexJSarama’s new book “Transforming Basketball”. Excited to dig in and learn from some really high-level hoops minds. Go get your copy on Amazon!
Quinn Ellis will declare for the 2024 NBA Draft, I’m told. The 6’4” British guard is having a strong season in a featured role for Trento, including multiple game-winners. 8.9 PTS, 3.8 AST, 2.8 REB, 61.0 TS% in EuroCup action. Sleeper who could work his way into the draft mix.
@DraftDeeper Yeah I might not include the rookies for that reason
@rashadlanders1 Boogie, Billy, Ivosic, and Karter 😎. Aidoo may be inbound as well. Johnell also looking like a strong possibility 👀. LFG WPS!

@DraftDeeper This might sound dumb to some of you. “Of course they need to be able to do basketball things.” Nathan’s (correct) point is that it wasn’t that long ago when you didn’t have to…you could just be elite at one or two of those things.
@DraftDeeper That needs to be your profile pic.
🇫🇷 Isaiah Sy has committed to Oregon State JUCO transfer from Cloud County with 3 to play 6-ft-7 wing, elite shooter off the catch (97th percentile on Synergy) avg 47.1% on 6.2 3PA in his freshman year

NEWS: Thierry Darlan has entered the 2024 NBA Draft, he told ESPN. Darlan, a 6'7, 20-year old guard who graduated from the NBA Academy Africa, spent this past season with G League Ignite. Has had some strong performances of late in the NBA's BAL qualifiers with Bangui SC.
