Zubac is a monster... He doesn't create space with 3PAs, but he does with his screening, role gravity, & post-up game. Elite rim protection. Excellent rebounding. Soft touch/hands. Going to add a dynamic new element to the Pacers when healthy next year.

Donovan Clingan is evolving into a monster... Elite-tier giant-guy numbers: rim deterrence + protection & sick on the offensive glass. Increased his 3PAs a ton and is heating up from deep. Above average ball moving big man. High impact space-eater.

Klay Thompson is a Maverick! Klay is still an excellent shooter with floor bending gravity. He isn’t suited to be a 2nd option offensively and top option defensively anymore, but he can thrive in a simplified role next to an elite initiator like Luka.

The more I've thought about the Ivica Zubac deal to Indiana, the more I love it for the Pacers. He solves the rebounding issue that the team had last season, and is a monster interior defender on top of being an elite screener. Literally everything they need.

My Indiana Pacers really screwed this draft up. Had a golden opportunity to add an elite piece through this draft, but the timeline of Rick Carlisle made them over-aggressive at the deadline with the Ivica Zubac trade.

23yo Devin Vassell is poised to have a high-impact season… Among the elite corner 3P shooters. Can do it off the bounce or the catch. Soft touch when he gets to the rim (would love him to get downhill more). And a crafty and versatile defender/playmaker. Excellent young player.

Asked Rui how his offensive role changes with LeBron out: "With him being out, I can attack the rim more. He likes to post up, when that happens I have to be more spaced out." 📽️Spectrum SportsNet

Jin at the stationhead listening party said his back started hurting because he spent an hour with his hands up during Hi touch event.. he does high-fiving with 1000 armys and having to lower his hands or be at the height of fans considering how tall he is

If Wemby wants to play like a guard AND master his post game he should hire former Spurs legend George “Iceman” Gervin to train him. No garbage step backs, no traveling, no flopping, just pure buckets with ELITE footwork and soft touch. Kids call them “plumbers” but these legends were true masters of the game ✌️ (halftime_content IG)

Gui Santos is developing into a stud role player... High-effort + strong-framed defense. Plays with intensity & anticipation. Knocking down shots, efficient rim finishing, and the ball doesn't get stuck in his hands. Impressive improvement this year!

“I think people will just start catching up to what I felt last year... He is excellent, a Tier 1, elite talent in the game and I don’t think it really comes to the result of one game for him.” Danny Parkins doesn't think a win or loss will impact his opinion of Caleb Williams:

A young genius with a mind that never stops. When T.S. Spivet decides to take matters into his own hands, he doesn't just think outside the box, he builds a whole new one. 🧠🚂

The Walker Kessler criticism is a perfect example of people confusing contract talk with basketball evaluation. I’ve seen a lot of clueless takes from guys who are supposed to be basketball experts they call themselves “writers & analysts”.. accounts like Damien Peters Nathan Grubel Sam Quinn These are the people who are driving NBA discourse and writing the narratives, which then the casual fans use source of truth. Can you question the money/assets? Sure. That’s fair. But when people start naming 10–15 centers they’d rather have and acting like Kessler is just some overpaid big body, that’s where I have to ask, are we watching the same player? Because on film, Kessler is a legitimate defensive anchor. He has strong post defense, absorbs contact well, keeps his chest square, and contests with verticality instead of constantly reaching. He plays with his hands high, makes himself huge at the rim, and has great timing as a shot blocker. What stands out most is his defensive IQ. He reads pick-and-roll actions well, moves his feet better than people give him credit for, and can stay attached long enough against smaller forwards/guards to recover back into the play. He tracks the ball, doesn’t quit on possessions, and gives you real chase-down/rim protection value. And in the clip, some of the same players people are listing over him are the ones he’s meeting at the rim. KAT Wemby Zubac Jokic Embiid Jarrett Allen Sabonis Naz Reid Offensively, he is not just standing in the dunker spot doing nothing. He runs the floor, fills the correct lanes, creates easy transition buckets, understands high P&R spacing, has good touch around the basket, great footwork in the post, has a strong drop step, creates contact in the post creating space for easy points, crashes the offensive glass, and has shown enough shooting touch to at least make defenses think. He’s not perfect. He still has areas to grow. But pretending he can’t play, or that he’s just another replaceable center, is lazy analysis. The Lakers didn’t just pay for what he is today. They paid for a 24-year-old defensive anchor with size, mobility, rim protection, rebounding, effort, and upside next to Luka. He is the exact type of player Lakers need. Luka is going to help elevate his game even more. Kessler will be an All Star within the next season or two!

“If [Luka] doesn’t sign [the extension] he can be a free agent next summer when there’s going to be 10-plus teams with cap space. If he does not sign it you will see teams begin to open up maneuvers to try to chase Luka.” Brian Windhorst (Oh No He Didn't)
