@GabeLeftBrain Ya my bad for asking a question before really digging in. One other suggestion would be to make the "share text" option the first thing you see when you win. Maybe even a pop up

[Chris Harden @SportsDada]

@GabeLeftBrain Oh I see, daily mode is the current season. I missed that, and that makes more sense

[Chris Harden @SportsDada]

@DeanO_Lytics Is that a good use of the challenge? Overturning obviously makes it awesome with hindsight, but felt like a 50/50 call to me, and to use it so early on just a foul was surprising

Decided to hop on the NBA game trend. This is my first release, Statline. The goal is to guess the players Statline with as few hints as possible. It comes with daily modes based on the current season, and freeplay modes that can range from 2014 to 2025.

What players did after the Spurs went up 14 in the third quarter.

[Dean Oliver @DeanO_Lytics]

Wemby averaged +4 net points per game this year and Brunson averaged +2. Both were quite a bit worse than that last night at +1 (-5 on O) and -4, resp. Josh Hart, KAT led NY in net points.

I think analytics captured what happened pretty well.

New ESPN draft simulator feature: how often users select each player at each pick!

Can see here that Jets users select Makai Lemon at 16 more than anyone else, and far more often than the draft day predictor forecasts.

What makes a player able to "swing the first round" can be a few things. I went through a list across the 20 play-in+ level teams.

🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨

We have an expansion draft tomorrow! Ahead of that, I did my best to predict who each team will protect, and who some of the top targets for the Fire & Tempo should be.

Tap in!
