Caught up with Shakira Austin post-practice today.

Shakira spoke on how “Being aggressive and everyone being a threat” can help the team hopefully avoid slower starts in the future.

Notable: Shakira is averaging 15.4/8.3/2.9 and All-Star voting just opened up today.

The point at the defender on the floor is so disrespectful 🤣

New on YT: Film Session with Matt Able ahead of the NCAA withdrawal deadline. One of the bigger stay-or-go decisions left in the Draft.

We dive into his freshman season, the traits that intrigue NBA teams, areas of growth, and what will shape his Draft vs UNC decision.

If you want to put the ball in the bucket, get you a hooper from the DMV.

HUGE game from Josh Hart yesterday.

Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN.

Who could rise up boards between now and the draft? How about Dailyn Swain? Fits the mold of what NBA teams covet in a utility wing. Opportunistic slasher with feel. Gets after it defensively. Growing as a shooter. Still just 20.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Excellent read from @TroyHalibur, especially in the wake of the way national media outlets have talked, or actually neglected to talk about the full rebuild plan in DC.

the washington wizards with the 1st pick in the draft

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

After a year and two games of Soni at the pro level, her off-ball movement and three-level scoring reminds me so much of @RipHamilton32.

No wasted movement, just gets right to a bucket.

Tons of action to get her the ball around the elbow, mid-post, and slot.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Why she got PAID this offseason.

[Jacob Myers @League_Him]

Pick and Roll reads with Bennett Stirtz.

We discuss the importance of setups, refusals, understanding the coverages beforehand in scout, and how different passing angles allow you to scan the defense like a QB.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Very obvious Mystics preseason observation:

Lauren Betts is going to be very good in the League.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Don’t forget, this is another addition in a successful run for Howard basketball.

The school saw @Howard_WBB and @HUMensBB make the NCAA tournament last year, and both teams are in a period of sustained success.

Make sure to stop by The Burr this season and see for yourself.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Up next for DoB for the rest of the week:

- Finalizing a written Mystics post with some preseason observations before the next matchup.

- Social clip touching on some broader hoops news (NBA, NCAA)

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Postgame I asked #ProTerp @saylorpoff about her preparation heading into her 1st WNBA game that led to a 9 point, 13 rebound night in DC against the Mystics.

Saylor also spoke on her @TerpsWBB support at CareFirst arena tonight.
