There have been bigs who dominated in college and didn't succeed in the NBA--e.g, Jahlil Okafor, Thomas Robinson, Vernon Carey, etc. The difference with Boozer is that he can shoot and he has ball skills. He's skilled and complete enough that a team can play him from the perimeter similar to...

One team that's obviously going to make moves is New Orleans. They're a mess, they need cap relief and they need draft capital. Another might be Milwaukee making one more desperation move, though it's probably time for them to just move on.

Adam Morrison and Drew Timme lol. How about Domantas Sabonis and Karl Anthony-Towns.

I'm overthinking Boozer. He's just so dominant.

So I'm just now catching on to Keaton Wagler. He's a pretty elite shooting prospect, and he has more off-the-dribble game and playmaking than Cameron Carr. I wish he were a bit bigger and stronger physically.

Two main statistical signals that seem to predict success in the NBA are steals and FT%. FT% is a clear indicator of shooting touch, irrespective of how well a player is shooting from the field or on 3PAs at any given time. Steals are an indicator of a player's athleticism and competitiveness...

Not exactly the most detailed prediction. View: https://x.com/JohnCrottyNBA/status/2008601669660279056

true

Main guys are Keyonte, Ace and Lauri, imo. I guess we’ll find out soon what they think of Walker.

I think it's probably fair to say that these elite guards in the top-10 range aren't going to be excited about coming to Utah to play next to a young, high-usage lead guard who's about to sign a huge contract extension. They're going to want an open runway to get a ton of on-ball reps and...

And with the 6th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Tankathon thinks the Jazz will select Nate Ament! Crikey.

Cody finished with 2 dunks, 2 layups, had 2 shots rejected and missed 2 3s. He earned his participation trophy for sure.

Clippers are flirting with a win right now too.

A lineup with Walker Kessler, Caleb Wilson, Lauri Markkanen and Ace Bailey would look completely different defensively. Right now, you can forgive Will Hardy for not having any personnel to defend the paint. At a certain point, that will change.

The Blazers have a ton of long, athletic wings -- Camara, Grant, Sharpe, Cissoko, Rupert, etc. They keep length and athleticism on the floor at all times.
