NEW WORDS FROM ME @NoCeilingsNBA My annual tradition of publishing the "My Guys" column of the 2026 NBA Draft cycle!! Read below on the 6 guys that I would bet it all on to bring into my building from this draft class! Honorable Mention: Bruce Thornton noceilingsnba.com/p/draft-de…

This 76ers team all things considered has had a better first week than I thought would’ve happened. A lot of high usage players coming together for one goal is a massive adjustment. But to be 3-1, with plenty of room to grow, is kind of scary for the rest of the NBA.

That was an impressive block by Darius Acuff on Cedric Coward. Who says #5 doesn’t play defense?

If LeBron isn’t going to box out and rebound like a center, then find someone else to play the center minutes like what are we doing…

LeBron James starting at C for the Philadelphia 76ers tonight against the Detroit Pistons… 👀

Luka Doncic was absurd in this game against the Jazz. I did really love the efforts by Keyonte George and Ace Bailey, especially on the glass. But Will Hardy really needs to work on his substitution patterns. Too many lineups were with one creator on the floor, and the offense just became too predictable. Too many turnover opportunities for the Lakers, which got them back in the game and the lead.

These bench lineups for the Jazz have been ROUGH... Depth of this team will continue to be tested

Just like that in the second quarter, the Lakers actually stepped up to defend, and shared the ball. Tie ball game. That's partially on Utah still being a young team not doing what was needed to hold the lead.

Keyonte George is a consistent pull-up three-point shot from being an All-Star

That was a piss-poor effort from the Lakers in terms of boxing out and playing defense against the Jazz. Holy smokes. Zero urgency.

Ace Bailey becoming a monster corner-crashing offensive rebounding wing would be an awesome skill for him to master, and would give the Jazz a nice extra rebounding boost this team needs without another big in the lineup next to Jaren Jackson Jr. and Lauri Markkanen.

Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje hasn’t made a shot yet in this Kansas exhibition, but you can already see how he’ll impact games for Duke. Legitimate post threat, can seal and command touches down low, with the passing ability and handle to counter the defense. Impressive young player

“But how could he have upside or become a star when he’s so old?”

This NBA rookie class is going to be JUST fine. Give these guys time. But last night’s performances from Cam Boozer, Caleb Wilson, Darius Acuff these players are special man. Number of other rookies had good outings too. Appreciate this NBA season while we can!

Given the fact he's already making his first start for the Golden State Warriors in GAME TWO of the season... Feel great about this shot I called

Tyler Herro and Ryan Rollins are one heck of a fun and functional backcourt

Trevon Brazile with EIGHT (!!) rebounds in the FIRST QUARTER of his rookie debut for the Nuggets is an eye-popping stat

I can’t thank everyone enough for the support today. I’m not the world’s best basketball scout/analyst. But I’m more than proud that I’ve helped to be part of a community that actually cares about one another. That’s more important than anything. Love you all

This 76ers comeback is what I’m talking about. Too much talent on this team to give up. No excuses for them to get blown out. They kept fighting, played defense, and have a lead in the 4th. This is what the fans expect.

I will say, VJ Edgecombe has struggled to fit in on offense and rightfully so. Hes (maybe never?) been the fifth-best player on his team. This is a kid who has been on an ascension his entire HS/college/rookie season in the NBA, now having to really adjust. I know he’ll do it.

So much better effort defensively in the second half for the 76ers. Reading passing lanes, playing fast, not settling for pull-up jumpers.
