[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!

Kiki Iriafen is fucking cooking

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

I really love Angela Dugalić’s inside-outside scoring game

With her height and athletic gifts, she can comfortably play the 4 or 5, with the shooting touch to space the floor and the interior scoring ability to work out of the post

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Angela Dugalić is a coach’s dream

She not only has a versatile skillset and a team first attitude, but she also plays with a great motor

Look at her follow her shot after the miss and get the Mystic an easy two points off of the offensive board

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

The Wings loved running Azzi Fudd off of screens and pin downs to give her the space needed to weaponize her shotmaking

And, as we’ve seen, Azzi’s a threat on every level of the court and excels at hitting shots off the move

my god.

[Nike Basketball @nikebasketball]

Greetings, @NBA Finals.

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Don’t say I didn’t try to warn you 👀

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Kiki Rice is a Top-5 pick in this upcoming WNBA draft

There isn’t anything she CAN’T do on the court, as she’s a high-level defender, playmaker, and scorer

Her game is perfectly tailored for the league and a big reason UCLA has been so successful

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

All-rookie and a top-3 ROTY candidate lock

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Kiki Rice in win vs. Storm:

17 PTS
6 REB
4 STL
3 TO
4-8 FG
9-9 FT

Averaging 15.8 PPG, 6.2 RPG, and 3.3 APG since joining the starting lineup.

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

A great display of both Awa Fam’s passing acumen and her finishing ability

Those two pieces of her skillset, along with her size and fluidity, are big reasons why I felt like she was the #1 prospect in this recent draft class

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

How many rookie guards in the W have the finishing ability of Kiki Rice????

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

I’ve been high on Kiki Rice’s two-way upside since UCLA, as her hands and defensive awareness make her a playmaker on that end of the court

And with her scoring and passing ability, she’s even more dangerous with the ball in her hands on O

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

I think concerns about Lauren Betts’ foot speed were over stated pre-draft

Especially because Lo not only has elite length and height, but also because her defensive awareness and positioning are top tier

She excels at cutting off drives and helping on D

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Really like when Lauren Betts catches the ball and immediately gets into her post bag

Does a great job being decisive with the ball and getting right into the defender’s chest while also maximizing her height by keeping the ball high

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

A SECOND ANGLE HAS HIT

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Victor Wembanyama to Mason Plumlee in Game 5:

“Hard fouls.”

(via @ShowCaseShabazz, h/t @Fullcourtpass)

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

How you making multiple millions and STILL will jeopardize everything for a $100k?????

[NBA on ESPN @ESPNNBA]

Federal prosecutors allege Terry Rozier agreed to a $100,000 bribe in order to manipulate his performance in an NBA game as part of a gambling scheme and filed two new charges against him Thursday. https://t.co/v9t4zwxWqB

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Casually dropping “2nd in all-time WNBA leaderboard” is crazy lmao

[KikiRiceMuse @KikiRiceMuse]

Kiki Rice’s offensive rating:

140.81

1st among rookies.
2nd on the all-time WNBA leaderboard.

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Waiving a 24-year-old shooting 47.1% from 3 on 1.9 3PA/g is crazy

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

Hailey Van Lith has been waived by the Connecticut Sun, the team announced.

The former first-round pick averaged 8.1 PPG, 2.2 APG and 1.1 RPG in nine games for the team.

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

oh my god

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Love that the Wings are entrusting Azzi Fudd more and more to handle the ball and initiate the offense

[Point Made Joshua @pointmadejosh]

Teams obviously respect Azzi Fudd’s perimeter shotmaking abilities

So the Wings have weaponized that in a variety of ways, including running her off of DHOs

But the defense’s respect for her shot also opens up driving lanes that Azzi has capitalized on
