With college basketball rapidly approaching, here are the top incoming freshmen as projected by my model! The model is trained on AAU, FIBA, and International league production and the target variable is first year BPR @EvanMiya's all-in-one metric!

@A1_EVERYTHING01 Sorry for the late response but I’m betting on Kingston’s historically rare cognition-athleticism-touch integration for creation and fading Darryn’s poor creation (IMO)

I’m happy to present my long-form Swish Theory debut! I teamed up with the great @AtTheLevel to analyze our two favorite small guard prospects: Tyler Tanner and Chance Mallory. Show some love ⬇️

Two excellent writers, one Swish Theory debut, and an elite read. Tap in!

I like Daron Holmes even though there's more competition for postion in Denver.
So I'd bet some team will take a cheap flyer on his tools.

Hello everyone, with a heavy heart I wanted to share that my dad has been dealing with stage 3 pancreatic cancer for the last few months.

As time has gone on, insurance has been unhelpful and as treatment has continued, our financial burden has grown to higher levels as well. Not asking for much as any help would be wonderfully appreciated.

Tanner would've been 7th for me if he declared this year, FYI https://t.co/44KPUALY8f

@rj_bates2 This is awesome work

@freewave3 Hannes: I buy his passing goodness relative to box-score rates, think it enables him to have a position at PF, love his reb-shooting-driving intersection at the 4

@spacebarNBA Could I get your reasoning for the (relative) Yaxel and Swain fades? I agree on Swain
