as the NBA and college seasons approach, i'm searching for full-time writing/scouting/video making work. approaching a decade of experience and happy to share resume, work samples and recommendations. DMs open, or contact me via email (in bio). thank you all!

losing a HOF offensive lineman like quenton nelson for a 3 and a 5 is pretty devastating for the colts, but hard to blame them too much given their total lack of leverage/Q's expiring contract/positional value go be great big Q, he deserves to win

not sure i've ever seen an in-game finish quite like this one from TJ shorts, after the whistle or not. streetball stuff

away screen to initiate two-man action punishes indy's slow peel switch, cooper flagg pings the ball immediately to morez johnson for the powerful slam. frictionless action good offenses build in easy buttons for star playmakers

YES

good stuff from dusty may's mavs offense after the free throw, staggered double ball screen after some misdirection with gafford starting in the weak corner + wheel spacing opens the left side for cooper flagg, who does his thing on the tough lefty finish

FINALS MVP KIAH STOKES

if jonathan kuminga is punishing switches with interior passes like these two plays, the wolves will be exceptionally tough to slow. career low on-ball (8%) and scoring turnover (3.3%) rates for kuminga three games in are encouraging early signals

lamelo ball digs down and deflects a pass for a steal before faking a floater three in transition (?) to feed jaden mcdaniels for the explosive lob finish showtime timberwolves

finals elimination game at 930 PST is unbelievably pathetic, my god

booming tyran stokes offense on the ball against duke, handling out of ball screens and punishing back line help and confidently pulling against unders. top pick caliber stuff

taken with the required mounds of exhibition salt, the patrick ngongba film vs kansas was sensational. demolished a small jayhawk team inside, hit a pullup 3 out of a ball screen, created tons of shots for others and defended his tail off an easy top-tier talent

ridiculous weak hand post rim pass from joaquim boumtje boumtje for an even more ridiculous sebastian wilkins poster. this duke team is showtime

kansas, WTF, sending a quintuple team at patrick ngongba ii in the post. no dice

deron rippey jr. vs taylen kinney has been one of my favorite point guard matchups to watch over the year. two athletic, physical and skilled players rippey wins this rep, picking up TK full court before blocking him at the rim. ridiculous POA talent

the colts don’t have a pick to tank for and shane has always disliked richardson (not necessarily unjustified) why would anyone think daniel jones would get benched unless he gets hurt. it’s not happening this year

have said it before but healthy pat ngongba is a strong contender for the best player in this class
