Gradey Dick isn't a perfect driver, but he's very fun. He doesn't have it all figured out, but he's figured out more than most of his draft class. On the 2023 NBA drafts most impressive driver, Gradey: like/comment/sub, all the good stuff youtu.be/SD618jd-xI0?...

been reading about barnacles for 45 minutes, I understand why Charles Darwin hated them. also found an elite Darwin quote: "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" reminds me of Miyazaki having existential crises constantly while writing

Gradey Dick has been, maybe, the best driver in his draft class - here's how: "Long closeouts leave the seas parted behind the defender – and Dick fancies himself as Moses sprinting into the emerging path." www.raptorsrepublic.com/2024/12/19/g...
