I've been harsh on Nate Ament this year, but he had by far his best game in a Tennessee jersey against Alabama. I broke down why it looked different and why it could hopefully be a turning point in his season. youtu.be/ZBuHoAlM2h0

Dylan Harper is Proving to be a Luxury, Not a Redundancy
While it was never really a doubt that Dylan Harper would be the #2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, there were some questions if he'd be too much of the same for the San Antonio Spurs. Spoiler: he's not.

Watch Braylon Mullins's fundamentals and footwork with his on-ball DEF here. Does a great job of sliding his feet, staying in a low defensive stance, and playing with physicality to cut off drives.

This is an awesome possession by Braylon Mullins showing how he plays with his head up. Off the first OREB he does a great job of passing through traffic to find Karaban on the cut. Then on the next one he has the wherewithal to tip the OREB to Karaban for the easy layup.
