Dyson Daniels is averaging 7.4 (!!!) deflections per game… Most prolific defensive playmaker in the NBA to start the season. Combo of elite anticipation, length, explosiveness, coordination, spatial awareness, & effort—it’s like he has an extra set of arms out there.

Daniels has been a huge boost for the Hawks defensively, but they're still a bottom 5 defense in the league so far. Why is that?

Could you imagine if the Pelicans actually developed him? Imagine how much better he could’ve been. Crazy how they traded a 21 year old, 6’7 point guard like he was nothing

Yeah you were right about bro @stfutinyy The things I would do to have a player like this on the lakers…

That is and will never be taught in any basketball camp but hopefully it will. It boils down to a players mindset that offense will have it up and down even in a good mood. But effort, grit and grind, hustle on will never have its down unless your sick of course.🤢

Essugo is an underrated member of this squad. That extra physicality/explosiveness is something no one else has to his level in midfield. This season is all about getting to that level of maturation you see in Caicedo/Santos & he can become VERY useful.

Shilo Sanders might be the HARDEST-HITTING safety in this year’s NFL Draft. One NFL scout reportedly believes Sanders has the ability to deliver “highlight-worthy hits” game in and game out in the NFL. Over his six-season college career, Sanders allowed just 589 yards and 3 TDs across 52 games—that’s an average of only 11 yards per GAME and 0.5 TDs per SEASON. Sanders’ playing style mirrors some of the hardest-hitting safeties in NFL history. The Colorado safety is a playmaker with elite NFL potential to be a tone-setter in the secondary 🔥

Minnesota S Tyler Nubin has tons of on ball production (10 INT since 2020), but what stands out are the ball skills and anticipation. Check these 4 interceptions out. He looks like a wide receiver when the ball is in his area. Such an impressive playmaker.

Luke Talich's ability to start in the box and get out to the flat in ample time to make an emphatic play on the ball is super impressive. Talich played 17 defensive snaps per game as a situational DB. He does the most with those. The Notre Dame defense is lucky to have him.
