don't even know if this is possible to fully capture but i'd love to read a deep dive on how Jerami Grant's tenure with the process sixers helped him develop parts of his game that he might not have been able to in other situations

Getting Koren Johnson and Myles Bird in the same class is a sick haul for the Aztecs. Should give SDSU two cornerstones to build around with Bird’s versatility and Johnson’s handling and facilitation.

everyone's shitting on the "3&D" label these days and rightfully so but if the two words didn't rhyme we probably (maybe?) would've come up with a better way to articulate "can play defense and make an open jumper" without pigeonholing every non primary wing under one umbrella

Really like what Oklahoma’s done so far with their 2022 class...Milos Uzan has the smoothness, creativity, and pass/score balance to run an offense and Otega Oweh has some serious juice as a slasher playing off the catch...Two guys who should contribute sooner rather than later.

Plenty of Brett Brown takes will be fired off but my main feeling is that only a certain type of person can go through constant roster reconstruction, a ton of losing, repeated questions about his standing with the FO, and still adamantly take the blame after a 1st round sweep

required reading...my main thought prompted by this was that, on the defensive side of things the goal of a closeout isn't just about contesting a shot or containing a drive but rather doing everything possible to make the player who is being closed out on become indecisive

this also applies to scouting...if you’re a scout for a specific sport it’s foolish to only watch that sport...athleticism is a spectrum and it’s multifaceted; watching as many sports as possible allows you to broaden your imagination in terms of how a player can develop

However, he did take a ton of 2P jumpers (60.4% of all his shots were 2P jumpers) and he shot 126-291 (43%) on far 2P jumpers...That combined with the efficiency around the rim and the indication of positive impact in other areas = upside that could have been missed...

shot versatility/diversity + range is always fun to watch but this dude is a legit 6’9 as well...contested OTD shots, 1-2 step off a curl, C&S half turn in midair, backpedal into C&S, transition slowdown pull-up, stupid gravity well beyond the arc at that size is nutty

I think the takeaway here would be that betting on guys with positional size (Siakam’s a legit 6’9 with long arms), who show the ability to be efficient on strong volume, and have other statistical outliers in their profiles is a good move
