Todays athlete. God I miss Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason right about now.

 
Castle has been struggling with his efficiency recently. Currently 0 points on 0-3 in 9 minutes. Previous three games were 5-14, 3-12, and 3-9
 
I'm always skeptical if I see something which hasn't already been posted at the B-Yard. Or maybe it has. If the link doesn't show, you may have to copy and paste into a browser

"Bouknight’s layup was SportsCenter’s the Number 1 Top Play last night!"

Speaking of UConn in NBA little worried about Hawk. Lumbar annular fissure could be a long term problem

He's shown a knack for getting to the charity stripe though. 8-10 tonight.

What’s Milwaukee’s record since AJax cracked the starting lineup?

This is an interesting scenario. The record is 7-3, although most wins are against bad teams and Andre’s minutes have been sporadic through the stretch

I looked up +/-, expecting to see that Andre is super valuable. He actually has the 4th lowest +/- on the team, and the worst among players that actually get rotation minutes at -6.7. This is driven by his VERY bad -6.9 offensive +/- (worst on the team), offset by his nearly flat +0.2 defensive +/-, which doesn’t sound good but the Bucks are a middle of the pack defensive team so relatively it’s pretty good

But Dame and Giannis have publicly sung his praises so clearly something is working that the +/- doesn’t show. But with Khris Middleton returning from injury this week, I’d expect Andre moves back to the bench soon

Andre Jackson is on the perfect team for his skills. The Bucks are still a playoff team, so they are not going into a full rebuild, but not really competing for a title anymore, so minutes are available. There are enough scorers so the Bucks don't need Jackson to do much offensively, but Lillard doesn't like playing defense, so he needs someone on the court with him that does. It is a great set up for AJax.

In an earlier era Sanogo would be a beast in the NBA. The guy just crushes the G League. I hope he gets an opportunity.

It pains me to see Sanogo stuck in the G-League for a franchise mired in mediocrity.


You can't tell me if it was 2000, Sanogo (with his resume) would be equal to Elton Brand, who went #1 in the 1999 draft.

Looked pretty good. He was 4-8, but two misses were when he got 911 passes with one second on the shot clock and forced something up low percentage. Pretty good efficiency all around. Two assists were a little generous (passing to a guy at the 3 point line who drove for a layup). On the down side, he was blown by on D and fouled a couple times, but that’s probably going to be the case when he gets minutes. He’ll be hunted a little. .

He’s no slouch athletically but his change of speed ability is elite and plays up the athleticism and quickness so much.

I’ve seen him do that super hesitation step when he gets to the hoop a few times this year. It’s definitely not a panic move to try to get open, it’s something he works on. I don’t see anyone else doing that (Luka sometimes), could become Steph’s signature move in the league. How do you stop a strong 6’6 CG with elite change of pace once he’s already at the rim?

Cam finished with 14 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes. The Grizzlies blew out the Wizards, but he got some minutes before the game was out of reach.

I get the feeling the Grizz really like Cam. They didn't waste time putting him in the bigs when he came back from injury. His G-League time was just to help get into game shape apparently. It looks like he has a job as a 2nd team regular.

It is still crazy how much talent we lost off last year's team. I think maybe they will end of being the best or 2nd best team to 2004 in regards to NBA talent.

The announcers are already referring to him as the "Hesi King"
 
Only action yesterday was James Bouknight in the G League with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block on 8-15 (2-7 from 3)

His old Charlotte G League teammate Bryce McGowens is on his Portland team too and is lighting it up this year with 29.4 PPG, jeez
