Mo Bamba was selected three picks after Luka. Life comes at you fast.

TONIGHT ☘️ Celtics at Lakers ⏰ 10:00 PM EST 📺 TNT 🎙️ 98.5 The Sports Hub #DifferentHere

The MSL Entry Draft is running right now. Syracuse's Finn Thomson was selected first overall by Brampton Excelsiors.

Absolute masterclass from Cooper Flagg today. My favorite part was how replicable it all felt between the playmaking, floor awareness, getting to his spots, and positioning. There was never a stretch that felt like he was playing outside of himself or hurting the offensive flow.

Cooper Flagg's 42 points vs. Notre Dame are the third-most in a single game on 14 or fewer field goal attempts in the history of the CBB reference database, which dates back to 1938-39. Final stats: 42 points on 11-14 shooting, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal

Had fun live scouting prospects Brooks Barnhizer, Baye Ndongo, Miles Rubin and a few other standouts at the MKE Tip-Off last month. Check out my notes ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/draftsta...

Congrats my guy!! Big time!!

Duo work in Denver 😤

Shoutout the assistant who tried telling me Tanner wasn’t a D1 player 🤣 24 and 11 #light

NFL should have some kind of option to bounce one team per year from the playoffs and input someone good. steelers and texans don't need to participate this year. drop whichever and let burrow go to orchard park

Will be draft malpractice if Michigan's Danny Wolf isn't taken in the top 40 picks in June. His game is built for the pros.

This Vanderbilt team is insane. 12-1 going down the wire on the road with a strong 11-2 LSU team. The Vandy Bench has outscored the LSU bench 31/6

We had many recent years (mostly pre-COVID years) of grind it out, low scoring, bad shot selection games in CBB. Copycat game, for a while it seemed like Packline, then "No middle" defenses were giving offenses hell Nice to see Florida-Kentucky play uptempo, high scoring, efficient game.

my most old head opinion is that the home team should always wear their white unis

WE ARE ALL JAKE PLUMMER

To recap Cam Skattebo’s Peach Bowl —100+ yards thru 3 quarters, vomiting entering 4th quarter, gets an IV —throws a 42-yard TD pass on 4th down to make it 24-16 —Next drive catches a 62-yard pass, then runs in the TD, then runs in the 2-point conversion to tie the game —Has more yards than Texas

Feel like this game is tied because of two equally important factors: — Cam Skattebo, brought down from the mountains after being birthed by the gods — Joe Tessitore's vocal chords manifesting it from another dimension

The spot!!

Kenny Blakeney wearing a sweatshirt from Ricky D's Rib Shack down the street here in New Haven, maybe to troll the Yale coaching staff that is still in suits, or maybe because it's really good.

Today, LeBron James turns 40 🎂

The Rochester Knighthawks officially announced they have a one year deal with Mike Sisselberger, pending league approval. Expect to see Siss suit up against Georgia this weekend.

Yikes

I created a thing that puts every player's box score stats from the night before in one interactive table. Ive been using it every morning to quickly check who had a good/bad game instead of looking at 10 different box scores updates nightly #rstats #gt #quarto thef5.quarto.pub/boy/

"It’s a pretty encouraging sign that Kolek looked too good for this level; that’s what you’re hoping roster players will do in the G League, and it’s a little troubling that more players from the 2024 draft didn’t stand out in this way."

TKO!!!

Ace had a plan and stuck to it. Met the Dybansta family years ago (before AJ was a household name) and Ace always made it a point to keep AJ humbled

NBA ratings are down because it's boring watching Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jake LaRavia dominate the league.

I’m surprised by coaches’ absolutes. I coach teenage boys. Things change daily. Nobody is consistent. Guys are growing. Girl problems. School struggles. Varying nutrition, sleep & more. Some improve. I don’t have an absolute best player, starters or even roster. It changes.

Thoughts and prayers to all the fake “prep schools” affected by this weeks announcement. The real schools will be fine, but hopefully it’s the end of “XYZ Prep and Prestige Worldwide Prep”

Congrats to Jason Smith @brewsterhoops.bsky.social Built the best prep program in the country, now doing it in the high school side.

Wake up the Misericordia Cougars are playing

Great weekend of hoops! Thank you for attending!

NBA, FIBA in ‘serious conversation’ about new European league, FIBA secretary general says www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...

The NBA just dropped a remix of their iconic Jingle Hoops ad from 2013

this whole Danny Wolf thing is a reminder that you most likely need high major exposure to enter serious draft conversations, especially when we talk about 1st round. He was doing awesome shit at Yale as well, but not too many people cared
