More work for Mikes Connelly playing for @LucentumAcademy in the 3rd division Spanish pro league. Making tremendous strides in his OTD 3pt shooting and passing, excited for what's to come from his game. https://t.co/z7h50DooI7

True Scoring Efficiency (TSE) and True Points (TP). The methodology is in the about section.
TSE is a new way to define scoring efficiency. It accounts for scoring turnovers, the offensive value of misses, and free throw granularity.

I heard that Darius Acuff Jr. might be the worst defender in the NBA next year. Watched his defense during the SEC Championship to see if people were exaggerating.
It's pretty rough.
Disaster struck when the Nets fell to 6..
Luckily for them, there’s a player who’s a perfect fit, who’ll be there at 6.
I wrote about Mikel Brown Jr. why he’s my favorite pick for the Nets at 6, and my general thoughts on him. Stats & Film..

This is Yaxel Lendeborg. He’s a SF with the same wingspan as Giannis that can legitimately defend guards and bigs. He can shoot. He is a creator. He can pass. He’s a good rebounder. His game rises as the stakes do.
His defect is he’s 23 because players get paid in college now.
Dominoes offense is the future.
🔑 Zero-second decisions
🔑 1 can’t guard 2
🔑 The floor is lava

They keep tipping the next domino.

Louisville's Mikel Brown measured 6'3.5 barefoot and 190 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'7.5 wingspan and 8'9.5 (*) standing reach.
Strong numbers across the board. Brown has grown four inches and added 36 pounds over the past three years, including a half inch and 8 pounds this season.
*likely typo
Once you surrerended yourself to the court and the opposing players by subbing into the game, there is truly no pity or grace for injury
Simply do not play in the game if your fitness doesn’t allow for peak performance

Going from a 23-year old intern for the then New Orleans Hornets in 2010 and today being introduced as executive VP of basketball operations for the Chicago Bulls is a valuable lesson on chasing your dreams.
