I'm also sort of confused by people melting down about Charlotte right now. The whole thing was that they were taking a step back this year to take a jump forward in future years down the road, and Coby/Kon have played like 2.25 games this year total.

I’m not sure the wider NBA world truly understands and appreciates how good Moussa Diabate is. All the Intangibles, infectious energy, really improved into an effective two way player

Understanding that it is very early for 2026 talk and everyone is excited: Cooper Flagg is less than a month older than Dybantsa and Peterson, and is currently averaging 15/7/3 for a top 10 defense while playing out of position. So, some NBA executives are incorrect.
Some NBA executives say Cooper Flagg could go as low as the sixth pick if he were to enter the 2026 draft 😳 “It’s early in the college basketball season. But already the draft class is feeling even stronger at the top than anticipated. By June, it might be even better given the development that can occur. To put it into perspective, some executives around the NBA say that if Flagg had never reclassified and were instead part of this 2026 group, he probably would be the third pick at best but could go as low as fifth or sixth. That is how special this group could be, so the chance to acquire one of them is why we’re already seeing teams bottom out so hard.” (Via @KevinOConnor / sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…)

Kon Knueppel already handling bad teams by himself as a rookie is a great sign of things to come. This guy will be a star.

A tough loss week 2 in @industrypickup 4-5 against @HoopProficient. Finished top 4 across most cats but got done by a better week. We can work with that, onto the next.
