Sheesh, what a move by Paolo Banchero
He balances incredible strength packed into a 6’10” frame with the finesse and handle of a point guard
I think people don’t fully understand how special of a player he is, but he’ll remind everyone soon now that he’s healthy again 👀

Ausar Thompson is ONLY playing 20.2 mpg across 5 games in January, as Detroit continues to carefully ramp him back up
But in those 20.2 mins, he makes a huge impact, especially on defense
He’s averaging an insane 3.2 steals per game this month 👀

After a breakout year 3, Jalen Suggs continues to improve for the Magic, with him tapping back into his playmaking with Banchero out
He’s averaging the most assists since his (4.0) and the most FTAs (2.9) since his rookie year
Love to see the passing & aggression resurfacing

Tough loss aside, am I tripping or is Giannis not receiving enough praise and attention for the season he’s having?
He’s averaging a 32.6 points (career-high), 11.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists (career-high) on a career-best 62.6% FG shooting and playing like a top-3 MVP candidate

Don’t let the way the Spurs are handling him (playing him off the bench and in limited minutes) affect how you view Devin Vassell
In fact, they’re being careful with him BECAUSE of how important he is to the franchise
He’s a pure bucket getter, who gets 17.9 ppg in only 23 mpg

Tyler Herro averages career-highs in points (23.7) and assists (4.9), all while being the most efficient he’s ever been on FGs (46.1% on 17.6 FGA) and from 3 (40.7% on 9.9 3PA)
He looks like the guy in Miami, showcasing that last year’s hot start was a sneak peak not a fluke

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 👀

- 1.3 3pm (3.1 per 36)
- 4.0 rpg (9.6 per 36)

With Suggs, unfortunately, set to miss some time, it’s time again to highlight Anthony Black
Over his last 10 GP, AB averages 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 block
He’s one of the leagues best defensive guards and is now Orlando’s secondary playmaker

Tonight’s 30-point performance marks SEVEN straight games with 20+ points for Jared McCain
The rookie is averaging 26.6 points and 4.5 assists over this span
He’s the Sixers’ most consistent option, and that’s huge for a team looking to establish an identity and build momentum

Since Paolo got injured, Jalen Suggs averages 14.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.2 spg, and 1.3 bpg, all while playing ALL-NBA level defense
Actually, despite being a G, his BLK% is 3.7, similar to Giannis and Jarrett Allen, and STL% is top-15 in the league
He’s building off of a big year 3 leap 👀

Moussa Diabate CONSISTENTLY makes winning plays when he’s on the court, from taking charges to earning extra possession on the offensive glass
Even with Williams & Richards en route to return, Diabate has made his case to be a meaningful part of this rotation going forward

And here’s an example how the threat of his playmaking opens up the floor for his scoring too
His ball fakes have to be respected, and he’s been making a meaningful effort to attack more and get downhill, which helps him get to the line more too

I’ve talked about how Anthony Black’s confidence as a playmaker has risen, especially recently (5.3 APG over his last 3 GP)
He’s been trusted to initiate the offense more and that’s when he’s at his best

Psychotic defensive motor and great screen navigation from Toumani Camara, who is really establishing himself as a defensive weapon on Portland
He was a “throw-in” in the Nurkic trade, and now he’s averaging 1.7 steals in 31.4 mpg
What a rise and a testament to his work ethic

Jared McCain has earned so much trust as a ballhandler and playmaker for the Sixers
In fact, the coaching staff believe in him so much that he’s facilitating an offense supported by a complete bench lineup, and doing a great job keeping them afloat

I guess he’s going to keep scoring 20 + points 😮💨

Is Jared McCain going to continue scoring 20+ a game with Maxey back?
Probably not…
BUT, he’s shown enough as a ballhandler, off-ball mover, shot-creator, and playmaker that he’s entrenched himself as a prominent part of the Sixer rotation
