@ToeiAnimation Digimon day but today is also the day you remove the original shows from streaming services. Great work. 👍

Potential 2027 lotto pick Stefan Joksimovic scored 22 for Slovenia's senior team in World Cup Qualifier vs. Sweden. Creative 6-7 ballhandler with shooting confidence, doesn't turn 18 til November.

*did have a quadruple double

[Hardwood Paroxysm @HPbasketball]

I am not trying to pour salt in the wound, but the Kings provided the Knicks with their Finals coach, the Spurs with their second star, after providing the Pacers with their Finals star last year after providing the Nuggets with their Finals coach in 23.

Suggs true PG development under Kidd

[AL in CAL @ALinCALI22]

Over the last 20 seasons, the Kings have the worst winning percentage in the league.

During that time, they’ve had a top 3 pick once.

Let that sink in.

It seems that Wemby learned well, in his time with the monks

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

The Sacramento Kings went 3-3 in the final month of the season while everyone else around them historically tanked.

The result was them having to flip a coin with the Jazz for a standings tiebreaker.

The Kings lost the coin flip, and will now pick 7th while the Jazz pick 2nd.

[𝙅𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙣 @SwipaZorro]

well… today is the day

[draftballr @draftballr]

DISASTER.

7th pick for Sacramento.

[don @mitxhelI]

This is what I envision every time I see Andre Drummond make a three.

[Neil Leslie @NeilLeslieNBA]

The whole league should be terrified of the Thunder drafting Yaxel Lendeborg

[Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins]

The Kings can’t get anything right!!! @KyleDraperTV is one the best in the business!!!

[J. Kyle Mann @jkylemann]

man the guards in this class... >200 PNR reps in D1 and then sorted by PPP, and this is the top five

good group

“I find this deeply disturbing” 🤓

[Carson Breber @Carsobi]

DeMar DeRozan only needs to average 18 PPG for another 105 games to surpass Shaq in career points and enter the all-time Top 10

I find this deeply disturbing

[draftballr @draftballr]

I have this idea -- Let me know what you think:

Shortly before the NBA Draft, me/a few friends/the community will choose the best written profile for each of the top 30 prospects. Draftballr will publish and sell a 'Community Prospect Guide' shortly before the draft. Writers will receive a percentage of the profits proportional to how many articles of there's that have been selected, with a cut going to the site. Your written profile does not need to be exclusive to Draftballr, it's perfectly fine to cross publish it elsewhere as well.

The benefit of this approach is:

1) The quality of the community guide will be sky high. I've already seen quite a few great profiles. I already have a generational prospect guide UI that i haven't released that I can improve before launch.

2) 20-30 writers will have a vested interest in marketing the guide when we sell it, increasing the impact and marketability of it. Ideally, we include some international writers as well to expand reach.

3) Lots of people already write draft guides for fun. This gives people a chance to make some money doing it too. Now I have no idea what the potential sales are for a prospect guide like this, so I don't know how much we will end up selling, but I think it's a fun experiment.

4) A related idea is I could also allow people to sell their own prospect guides before the NBA draft.

Thoughts? Feedback? Would anyone be interested?
