rough game for the bucks after that 4th quarter meltdown vs the nets
on the bright side: Ryan Rollins had dudes in straight jackets, paralyzed/blocked a taller/stronger ben simmons like it was nothing... didn't even jump for the block😵💫

Sarr is my ROY and he was my ROY at the start of the season, the production speaks for itself. I don't particularly value efficiency or team competitiveness for this award, just give it to Sarr if he maintains his current play all season long...

NBA *needs* to make its product easier to consume, league pass is expensive, home team games are unavailable, and now their website API is in question? Fans are putting hours into work that should be done by the league, and their reward is a cease and desist or a blacklist? FOH

Not every player's usage is the same, so one way to adjust is by benchmarking to play-type efficiency rather than overall efficiency.
Essentially, which players have the most difficult play-type usage, and how efficient are they relative to those looks?
Data is per game.

No matter where you look, you can find someone making this argument: "All NBA teams just play the exact same way."
I'm here right now to tell you: That's bullshit. And it's easy to call if you know what to watch.

No, NBA teams are not all playing exactly the same way
And if you think they are, you're not paying attention to the right things

where I'm at right now with my top 30
players in green/yellow tiers might flip flop between those tiers but unlikely to fall beyond 20 for me
orange/red tier could change drastically come draft day

Trentyn Flowers was my highest ranked player (#26) to go undrafted
I really liked his combination of size, speed, athleticism, and scoring
He’s putting it together at the G-league level for the Clippers, where he’s averaging 15.1 ppg on 48% FG (10.1 FGA) & 47% 3P (2.4 3PA)
Watch him closely 👀

🏀Hopping on the shotcreatordata dot com trend!🏀
One of my guys a few years ago was T.J. Warren, particularly his NBA bubble season scoring explosion
I present to you, 40 seconds of Warren's absurd push-shot floater (of which he went 76 of 140 for the season or 54.3%!!!)

Lol so many of these possessions for Egor Demin in his game against Ole Miss, where Demin just created so many open 3s for BYU and guys unfortunately just missed. Only had 4 assists, could have been way more. Live dribble cross court skip off of that back side screen. Just an awesome player.

12/01 Deep/Dynasty League Watchlist:
1. Trendon Watford (again) BKN: injury play rn & lowkey he's a solid rotation player on all 30 teams
2. KJ Simpson CHA: Ball & Mann out at least 2 weeks, posts good numbers in 15 mins
3. Ricky Council IV PHI: McCain benched, already better than Caleb Martin?

11/18 Deep/Dynasty League Watchlist:
1. Wendell Moore DET: JB is giving him 24+ mins, THJ/Ausar are out, but Holland is falling out of favor
2. Ariel Hukporti NYK: Thibs never plays rookies, but he bit the bullet on Nov 15th with KAT out👀
3. Trendon Watford BKN: coming back into thin C rotation

someone's opinion on draymond green as a basketball player is a good ball-knower litmus test
i'd gladly hop on my soapbox about how great he was & how important he was to the evolution of the game (& of the forward/center position)

Derik Queen had a great game for Maryland against Villanova yesterday. Let's watch some film 👇
it didn't take long before Queen started showing his fantastic ability to make reads and throw unconventional passes, with Julian Reese being the most frequent recipient

Pelle Larsson looked great last night for the Heat with 14pts/5rebs/1ast/1stl and has looked like a rotation piece out of the draft. I went over his game prior to being drafted, especially what made him such an intriguing piece to play right away

Broke my own rule
Top 10 based on the prospects I've been most able to watch. Will Riley, Asa Newell, Derik Queen honorable mentions. But again, this will change dramatically come March
Range 6 through 9 seems the most fluid to me, wouldn't be shocked if any of those sharply rose or dropped

Labaron Philon continues to look more and more like a first rounder to me (obviously early). Another stellar game against Illinois.
16 PTS, 7 REB, 9 AST, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 7-13 FG
I love his strength, craft, change of pace, shiftiness, composure in traffic, and competitiveness.

Broke down Shaedon Sharpe yesterday for the Blazers. He's definitely still not perfect, but he's showing real growth for Portland. He has some significant upside.
Particularly really like his patience as a playmaker now. Shifts gears and changes speeds well.
