Funny consequence of new lottery rules. If BOS gets #1 in 2028, their second round pick will be #46 now

Announcing the databallr summer internship

I am hiring up to 5 people at $20/hr

Looking for talented hs/college students interested in any of the following: sports analytics, design engineering, codex, applied ai, ml, data viz, computer vision, webapps, mobile apps, social media, games.

The structure of the internship is:

We will find on a project that you are interested in that also benefits databallr. You will build it this summer. I will provide mentorship, ideas, tools, and resources to help you accomplish that.

There will be group calls several times a week where I will share workflows and knowledge. 80% of your time will be spent on your main project. The other 20% of your time will be spent learning new tech.

One day a week, the group will learn and build on top of the latest open source projects together.

Looking for people who are smart, creative, focused, collaborative, open-minded and looking to go nuclear this year.

I enjoy teaching and mentoring people that are willing to put in the work.

Send resume, any of your work, and why you'd be a good fit:

You can tag up to three people in the replies and if you are the first to tag them, and i hire them, you will get a $200 referral fee.

College basketball's tech revolution is coming. The gap is real. But so is the opportunity. https://t.co/yjd5wW6qED

Cleveland forfeited 4 timeouts last night and lost their only challenge...and won in OT!

Everybody loves the transfer portal, and I get it.

But can't be understated how important retaining Ivan Kharchenkov and Motiejus Krivas is.

They are literally better than anyone Arizona could've gotten in their place in the portal.

WELCOME BACK TO TUCSON, BOYS 😤😤

@DraftExpress @jasonscheer Holding my stock. He will be great.

[Chris Utter @UtterHoops]

In my analysis of Arizona’s roster situation, I indicated it might be a stretch for Gueye to be the backup center.

If one side or the other wasn’t confident in his role, it was best for both to go separate ways.

Best of luck to him.

Michigan went under the majority of Arizona's ball screens last night. It led to a season-high 22 off-the-dribble jumpers for the Wildcats

Can’t take any of that away. Awesome team. Wonderful season.

Unsurprisingly, Michigan's passing was a thing of beauty in the first half. 12 assists, 4 turnovers.

Arizona's was decidedly not. 2 assists, 9 turnovers.

Brayden Burries defense on Cadeau needs to be significantly better

[Chris Utter @UtterHoops]

Krivas has played quite well so far, helping keeping the Wildcats in this one
