I'm super excited to be joining the Charlotte Hornets as an Analytics Researcher. It has been a life long dream of mine to work in the NBA and I'm super excited about joining the team in Charlotte. Can't wait to get to work. Go Hornets!

The Sixers backcourt is set, minus depth. Embiid and PG are good, when they play. This team needs to retain/add depth, but will they pay to do it? Read more about Philadelphia's summer ⬇️

Indiana is really taking advantage of some low hanging fruit in the last 2 playoffs- pressure the opposing ball-handler to force them to take more time to get into their actions & get into your own actions sooner! (Borrowing @owenphillips.bsky.social F5 theme, data via second spectrum)

The Luka trade was never about this year. Lakers are an incomplete and unbalanced roster, but if that’s the cost for getting a perennial MVP candidate in his prime, you take that hit. Their play after the trade probably got hopes too high because they were always going to have playoff weak spots.

Two games is a small sample size, especially against a single opponent, as in the playoffs. But here are some team notes: - OKC completely shutting down MEM on 3s and transition. Actually everything. - HOU still best rebounding team - MIL bad from 3 thus far. Their 3pt shot quality has been poor.

Why is Jimmy Butler a high impact player despite not putting up gaudy stats? Has a high impact on turnovers- limiting turnovers on offense, creating on defense. Highest FT rate impact in the league. High offensive rebound impact.
