NEW FROM ME #NBADraft

Hannes Steinbach just had one of the most impressive rebounding seasons we've seen in years, but he's more than just a big who cleans the glass. He's a star forward in the making who can impact winning at the highest level.

Covid got hands but I'm back to writing

the greatest show ever made

fighting covid, will write when that's over with

I don't think John Wall, Bradley Beal, or Gilbert Arenas should have their numbers retired

Turning Norm Powell into Beal and John Collins is incredible business. Clippers front office is cooking.

AJ Johnson is not a great pull-up shooter

maybe it's nothing but I'm always interested in players' free throw routines. He does 1 quick ball spin then it's up into the shot

Yeah, when the ref throws the ball to him he immediately goes into the shot with no hesitation. Don't see that too often. I know SGA does something similar so I'm curious if there's a specific reason behind it.

@byvarunshankar.bsky.social if you have the opportunity I need you to ask why Tre only takes like 2-3 seconds on his free throws

Random Nets observations I didn't have space to discuss:

• Traore is fast. VERY fast. His shot attempts once he gets downhill are incredibly basic and didn't seem to challenge Sarr at all
• Saraf and Wolf are going to be bottom 10 defenders in the league
• Demin's shot mechanics are still great

Wizards at the Summer League, Part 2 Recapping and analyzing the Wizards’ win against the Nets

The Wizards won a game? PLAY THE MUSIC.

Drew Timme scored almost 1/3 of the Nets' total points. Add Tyson Etienne and that's 46.8%. God, that team is going to be awful next year. Not exactly encouraged that we barely beat them, but at least they didn't lose.
