Check out these two outstanding passes from just 17 y/o Fabian Kayser at Eurobasket U18 in the game against Estonia. This kid has the makings of a future star player.

Five years ago, on this day...
The Orlando Magic select @franzboogie with the 8th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
What is your favorite Franz moment?
🇩🇪 Fabian Kayser (2009) is quietly climbing his way into the conversation as the top prospect of the 2028 NBA Draft.
A legit shotmaking wing with multi-level scoring efficiency (46.7% 3P + 60% 2P), rebounding juice (8.5 RPG) + defensive tools (~2.5 stks/g), all in a 6’8 frame.
Fabian Kayser - Two-way sequence
Quick hands to get the deflection + on Stefan Joksimovic's pass, then a hit-ahead bounce pass that splits 2 defenders and reaches Lucai Anderson in stride
Escandaloso partido del alemán Fabian Kayser (2009, Real Madrid) ante la Eslovenia de Joksimovic en el Europeo U18: 25 puntos, 10 rebotes, 6 asistencias y clutch como él solo. Un espectáculo de jugador que lleva un 2026 increíble.
Kon Knueppel welcomed the Charlotte Hornets' newest rookies, Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr, at Spectrum Center on Thursday.
🗣️ "We'll see you Monday!"
Isaiah Hartenstein's new contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder is likely to come in at $25M flat per season for 3/$75M total. Because the final year is a player option (which then becomes partially/non-guaranteed), the year prior can't be at a lower salary. The Thunder won't want to use standard 8% raises, because that could cause apron issues in Years 2 and 3 of the deal. They won't start it high, because it could only decline for one year and that causes apron issues this season. So, flat is what makes the most logical sense.
@EMatinjanin@RainyE89@BenGarciaShow Huh?
iHart does literally all (!) the little things that lead his team to winning games & why his team also won a chip. He could for example take significantly more shots in games, just like he did in his youth, bc he can shoot 3-pters, but he's holding back personally here.
Just in: Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein intends to sign a new three-year contract to return to the Thunder through 2028-29 that brings his total earnings with the franchise at five years and $134 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN. A key signing in 2024 leading to the 2025 championship, Thunder lock in the defensive anchor.
“I got a sleeper, Jack Kayil, from Alba Berlin”
Rafael Barlowe, international scout @Barlowe500 explains why he feels Kayil is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2026 draft.
First, Barlowe highlights Kayil as a winner.
- Says shooting numbers are skewed without context.
- Many possessions required Kayil, main creator to bail out his team late in the shot clock.
- Says many guards in this draft would not be willing to sacrifice their percentages like Kayil.
- highlights good intangibles, toughness
- says minutes were truly earned at the euro professional level, whereas young players in college/nba are given minutes (at times) based on investments. NIL/NBA contracts..
- says that Kayil would have been a lottery pick had he chose to go to college this season.
- says a few scouts in Germany thought he was better than Christian Anderson and Hannes Steinbach
- says that there’s a team (now, the knicks) that likes him, due not only to his ability, but his experience in winning.
A lot of good things said about the Knicks second round pick.
Again, the Knicks just have always found GREAT Value in the second round.
I view Deuce as the blueprint
Diawara as the play
And now they are just running the play with Kayil and Nickel.
Again, low profile guys, manageable contracts, help sustain the bottom of your cap sheet.
Knicks have the best front office in the NBA
