some stuff about the NBA/the draft

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Boozer's greatest singular skill is the speed at which he makes the right read w/ zero lag in processing. An approach to the game that is entirely different from the rest of the Big 3 and more reminiscent of the great offensive ceiling raisers of the sport

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

23.5 on draft day but had early production (4.8 BPM in his freshman season at Mizzou)

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

The list of NBA players with Trevon Brazile's dimensions (6'10 7'4 WS) who can space the floor and offer weakside rim pro is extremely small. Couple that with elite stocks/PF, 81.2% at the rim w/ 54 dunks per Bart and you have an ideal NBA playfinisher

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Also Jalen Duren already being a great vertical/lob threat is the perfect security blanket for Cade's development

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Simple stuff but nice to see Cade making the easy reads. Sort of a Horns Out set into a middle p&r with a pindown on the weakside. Hits Duren rolling on play 1 then hits Burks for an open 3 when Torrey Craig tags the roll on play 2.

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

You know the snatch is good when the guy guarding you doesn't even try to recover and close out lol

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Steph starting the season with a cool 36.8 pts/75 on 75.8 TS%. Not bad for a 35 year old

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Some subtle playmaking craft that Book picked up from CP. Wait the tagger out. Patience beats pressure.

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Celtics' Varejao Screen= Open Pull Up 3 for JT

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Point Giannis in the 4th quarter vs the Heat. An underrated playmaker

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Ouch @Timberwolves

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Jalen Suggs took a big leap as a 3pt shooter in just one year. One of my favorite breakout candidates for next season

Amen’s ground coverage kinda reminds me what NFL coaches used to tell their QBs about Deion Sanders: Even if he looks open, don’t throw it. Deion will pick it off.

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

This is really cool

[Tanner Krantz @TannerKrantz]

Entering the NBA, Chet Holmgren was praised for his well-timed shot contests that allow him to be more patient in helpside rotation

In his first three games of summer league, Chet has shown this ability by coming from the opposite short corner and even mid-court to deter shots

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Pretty intrigued w/ Jabari at the 5 for the Rockets next season. Can’t imagine a FVV, Amen, D Brooks, Tari, Jabari lineup not having one of the best D ratings in the league

[Itamar @Itamar_17_10]

This is the vision for the Rockets small-ball lineups with Jabari Smith at C.

Switch 1-through-5, try and deny the entry pass, stay infront off the ball handler and offer aggressive help at the nail. This is when Houston's defense was most sucessfull last night.

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Walker Kessler is good at defense.

Includes every bigs rookie season since 2014. Min 1000 minutes.

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Manu was a one of one. No one has ever made passing look so pretty

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

Corner skip bounce pass. The kind of things only Manu and Harden would try

[Inherent Hoops @InherentHoops]

James Harden's ability to get to the rim and finish has fallen off a cliff these past few years
