That's my @StJohnsBBall #SJUBB

Brad Stevens doesn’t miss

This kid was a 5 star that battled adversity and never had a bad day

One of the best defenders in the draft and will help Boston way sooner than his draft position would indicate

[B @BeeRadd__]

They had to comeback vs the Giants, in Denver btw. Meanwhile New England beat the breaks off NY, but they’ll cry about the Pats schedule 😂😂😂😂

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆:

the detroit pistons are acquiring isaiah joe from the oklahoma city thunder for two future second-round picks.

the pistons land one of the nba's best high-volume three-point shooters to put alongside cade cunningham. meanwhile, okc adds even more draft capital after also moving aaron wiggins.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

🚨 the boston celtics have demanded four first-round picks in trade talks involving jaylen brown, per @ShamsCharania.

that's a massive asking price and shows boston isn't looking to move him unless they're blown away by an offer.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@ConquerSportsIO @PatsPlanet_ Agreed.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

mark williams is staying in phoenix!

the restricted free agent is signing a fully guaranteed 3-year, $38 million deal to return to the suns, per espn.

he averaged 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 block in 23.6 minutes per game as phoenix's starting center last season.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@theblockspot @ShamsCharania Indeed. Same last name!

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

he will do it btw

@gabe_pats

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@LosTalksPats so don’t say anything if you’re a freaking texans fan man. 4 picks in 1 half.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@LosTalksPats mvp runner up at 61, continues to get disrespected, eh?

Breakdown on Hawks Zuby Ejiofor, Celtics Dillon Mitchell, and Nuggets Bryce Hopkins! #SJUBB #Celtics

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

bam adebayo

height w/o shoes: 6’8.75”
weight: 242
wingspan: 7’2.75”
standing reach: 9’0”
hand length: 9.5”
vert: 38.5”
3/4 sprint: 3.24
lane agility: 11.94

zuby ejiofor

height w/o shoes: 6’7.5”
weight: 245
wingspan: 7’2”
standing reach: 8’11”
hand length: 9.25”
vert: 38”
3/4 sprint: 3.20
lane agility: 11.05

bam worked out pretty well despite being considered undersized for a center. he became an all-star, an elite defender, and one of the most versatile bigs in the nba.

i don’t really get why people keep saying zuby won’t make it. his measurements are extremely close to bam’s, he’s actually a little heavier, tested similarly athletically, and has shown he can be a physical interior presence. obviously matching bam’s career is a huge ask because bam is one of the best defensive bigs of his generation, but acting like zuby can’t succeed because of his size doesn’t make much sense when a player with nearly identical physical tools became an nba star.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@PipMiss i don’t think so

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

the boston #celtics got dillon mitchell! as a huge st. john's fan who watched every game, here's what celtics fans should know:

• elite athlete and one of the best lob threats in the class
• acrobatic finisher who throws down highlight dunks
• versatile defender who can guard multiple positions
• projects as a wing/small-ball 4 at the nba level
• had a bit of a midseason slump but bounced back in a big way during march madness
• not a three-point shooter, does most of his damage at the rim and from the mid-range
• free-throw shooting still needs work
• recently became a father, which adds another layer of maturity and motivation

i'm really excited to see how he develops in boston. i think celtics fans are going to love the energy, athleticism, and defense he brings.

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@Libermaniac11 he is not the type of player who shoots, he’s more of a dunker and defender. his shooting needs a lot of work, but they drafted him for his defensive skills and his dunking. but you are right, it needs work

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

i made a 88 overall boom or bust quarterback, think you can do better? https://t.co/rMJSGEfXMV

[Asher Block @AshBlockInsider]

@irvv_m agreed.
