they’ll win the series but i can’t watch him dribble around this much anymore
brunson is so mind-numbingly skilled but something just has to change man
Idk how good Noah Clowney is, but he's certainly unique.
Only Garrison Mathews has ever matched his FTr/3PAr intersection (because he jumped halfway to the rim on his threes, drawing a million landing space fouls):
Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones each signed three-year deals, I’m told.
Contracts lock up the Liberty’s big three through 2028.
kind of considered (at least to me) the post-bill russell standard of help defense/communication so to see him just take an individual matchup and go crazy is soul touching
every time Steph and Dray play a meaningful game it's a blessing that I'll never take for granted
I learned from a friend too!! really need to get into exchanges with him
One "big" takeaway from the WNBA Draft. The league is certainly changing, but are executives interpreting the change correctly?

new hobby yo
a bunch of nerdy stats/observations about this draft class, and a LOT of disagreement between us
one more plug on this, Betts is really good
Olivia Miles with Cheryl Reeve is going to rock, yo
she is so smart in structure, knowing what each play-call is trying to accomplish
At exits, Jordi Fernández admitted losing stinks, Noah Clowney reflected on a slightly disappointing season, but most importantly...
Sean Marks discussed MPJ, Day'Ron, and Josh Minott, all of whom have contract situations this summer:

appreciate all the kind words, it's only worth anything because people engage
and there will be more!
had a real busy last week so sadly didn't get around to a full explainer but I like this vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUFe...
A big board is ofc not a mock draft, but it's also not necessarily a prediction of career success.
Think it's more likely, for example, that Raven finds a stable environment as a low-minute contributor early on, leading to better outcomes, while Okot's current flaws stunt a brighter trajectory.
yep, you guys are right, thanks
WNBA Draft day is here, this is how I'm feeling:
Sean Marks on Josh Minott (team option): "I look forward to seeing him healthy. He was playing, you know, on one leg with us for most of the time here. So it's nice to get that ankle taken care of, and then again, have another big summer for a young man like that."
a little lingerie on the deck and Day'Ron Sharpe loves it
The '26 Dream could join the '10 Storm as the only teams to ever lead the WNBA in both 3-point attempts and offensive rebounding
Here's every team to finish top three in each category -- it makes for some pretty elite offense (unless you're the inaugural Monarchs):
Before the final four begins!
On Azzi Fudd and Gianna Kneepkens as points of comparison, primarily
with notes on why I like both the Oklahoma prospects, Rori Harmon, Kyla Oldacre
and perhaps my favorite sleeper, Amelia Hassett:

bulking up will help in a couple areas but explosion is not one
very excited for the UCLA-Texas rematch. Rori Harmon was awesome in the first game -- 26/3/5, played all 40.
Yes, she's a small guard with a worrisome jumper, but it's tough to see her have a bunch of two-way sequences like this and rule out a WNBA future:
