    share your current thoughts about whether Taylor Hendricks is an NBA player

    His December splits as a whole are encouraging. I need to see a whole lot more before I say "yeah, he's a keeper" here but it's nice to see some flashes. Good reminder about early-career judgment on dudes who are drafted at 18-19.

    Following Potential 2026 Draftees

    He might be my favorite player to watch. So gifted offensively and he's a total alpha. Everyone knows who's getting the ball in the big spots. The top 4 looks impenetrable and there's so many guys who could be in the mix in that next tier I won't even try to predict at this point. I.e., I have...

    OT (Kinda) - For the sports bettors…

    I’ll preface this by saying I live in a jurisdiction where sports gambling is legal. For those who partake in: The Jazz (to cover) + the over has been a gravy train this year. 18-9 O / U split and I can’t remember the last time the under hit. A team that scores the ball + can’t stop a fart is...

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    I need to eat crow here. His efficiency has been bonkers. I thought he'd struggle athletically at the NBA level.

    Following Potential 2026 Draftees

    I'm growing increasingly skeptical of our chances to fall squarely in the bottom 8 (i.e. may need some lotto luck to keep that pick) if Keyonte keeps playing at this level.

    I think you draft him as a potential defensive monster. The offense will have to come around.

    Caleb Wilson is awesome. I absolutely have him in the same tier as AJ / Peterson / Boozer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder #1-4 but they're all phenomenal.

    The NBA Cup

    I think this is the dumbest thing the league has done in a long time. Am I alone in that? Congrats to the winners on getting $500K apiece. That is awesome, especially for the end of the bench guys. But basketball isn't soccer. And I don't understand why the league is trying to take the game in...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    In the physical universe we occupy this just does not seem possible. I'll be damned.

    No Extension for Walker Kessler?

    I still think there’s a deal to be made here. Even if it’s us matching an offer in RFA. Great teams have rim protection. Walker is one of the best in the NBA at that skill, with plus-efficiency on the offensive end of the floor. He’s also just a good dude and a good vibe in the locker room...

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    What’s “defense?” Sounds intriguing.

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    He’s over 40% from 3 in December. Shooting #’s continue to rise. He’s a bucket, we knew this. Just a knack for scoring the ball and getting his shot off. Efficiency will be the question. But he’s showing clear signs of turning into a 25-30 ppg guy. I’m giving up on the tank, personally. We...

    I'm sorry but y'all are crazy. Dyson Daniels over Keyonte? JALEN SUGGS over Keyonte? Mercy.
