“I’ve talked to GM’s and they said they have been watching me since I was 14…they have to invest millions kd dollars in you”

Really good advice to the next generation from probable top 5 pick, Caleb Wilson

Love this

Facts

"I've seen those guys on the same floor in person probably 8-10 times…

Not once did I come away thinking AJ Dybantsa is a better prospect than Darryn Peterson”

T-Wolves got to go get Ant a real #2 this summer, time to stop bullshitting.

[Ted @tlschwerz]

Anthony Edwards is the best offensive player in the NBA.

He doesn’t flop.

He hits from everywhere.

He’s dynamic.

He’s incredible.

No debate.

[Wilder Adams @whatsontapnba]

Dylan Harper is going to be one of the best players in the NBA someday. Imagine Jalen Brunson being four inches taller and giving a shit on defense. So impressed.

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Terrance Shannon Jr is a GUY.

Huge development for Minnesota has been just his positioning on offense. Finding easier ways for him to catch and good.

Really fun player. Big win for the Wolves.

[Chris Walder @WalderSports]

The Toronto Raptors' last two first-round picks, Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter, are playing significant roles and minutes in the postseason.

You don't always need top-five picks. You just need to nail the ones you get, and Toronto did.

[Grant Shirley @Grant_Shirley4]

CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga were acquired at the deadline and just helped lead the Hawks to back to back playoff wins

Nickeil Alexander-Walker was the best free agent signing of the summer

The Hawks traded for a pick from the Pelicans that combined has the 6th best odds to jump into the top 4 of the lottery

Give Onsi Saleh executive of the year

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Look at Scoot Henderson, man.

As a long time stock holder, he’s looked awesome to start the playoffs. Worked and did all the little things in game 1 and now showing an improved comfort as a scorer.

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

Rudy Gobert was sensational last night. Definitely a top 2 defender in the NBA.

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

31 players defended 200+ isolations this year. Rudy Gobert ranked #1, allowing 0.77 points per iso. Evan Mobley was 3rd & Bam Adebayo was 5th to give some context for the company he's in. Gobert a more complete, dominant defender now than when he won his 3 DPOY in '18, '19 & '21.

[Jace frederick @JaceFrederick]

Donte DiVincenzo was a +20 tonight

Next best was a +6

4 for 7 from deep, including the biggest shot of the game

ALL the hustle plays.

You want to talk a guy who built the right habits all season and maintained when it mattered most tonight?

That guy right there.

[Kyle Theige @KyleTheige]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker forever.

[Esfandiar Baraheni @JustEsBaraheni]

Insane that Rudy Gobert didn’t end up top 3 in DPOY this season.

He has played incredible defense vs Jokic all series. Paint just hasn’t been available for the Nuggets.

[Sam Block @theblockspot]

Darryn Peterson… YOUNG KAWHI.
Cameron Boozer… POLISHED.
Labaron Philon Jr… NASTY.
Caleb Wilson… ELITE.
Kingston Flemings… SCARY.
Keaton Wagler… DANGEROUS.
Darius Acuff Jr… WALKING 50 PIECE.
AJ Dybantsa… FRANCHISE CHANGER.

The BEST NBA Draft Class Since 2003.

[All Things MN @allthingsmn]

I can’t do another season of the Ant/Randle duo.

[Jack Borman @jrborman13]

Naz Reid is so special man

No one else in the league doing stuff like this at 6-10

[ESPNSami @samisingh21]

The Truth

[Point Made Basketball @pointmadebball]

Isaiah Collier is averaging 15.1 points, 9.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.7 steals on 58% TS over the last month (13 GP)

And he’s really shown bright flashes of improved shotmaking, which raises his floor in a big way

Utah has a ton of young talent, man

[ESPNSami @samisingh21]

This was the James Harden that caught my eye

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

James Harden was elite at ASU, but his game was almost unrecognizable

His handle got so much tighter over he years and became one of the most skilled hoopers of our time
