Absolutely shattered over the Brandon Clarke news. My heart goes out to the Clarke family, the Grizzlies organization, his loved ones, and every person involved in his life. This stings. Unbelievable player and person. Rest in peace… We will miss you, BC

Love this theory and how it pertains to Boozer. Also another Swain lottery 🫡 becoming the clear “if the Grizzlies drop to 8 or 9” guy for me

Night before R64 starts. My 3.0 version of my 2026 NBA Draft Big Board. More explanation can be found in the link below. Wrote on the top-3, the PG debate, risers, fallers, and the intrigue with the second-round guys mentioned Always open to questions/feedback open.substack.com/pub/subtsaka...

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

didn't get the players right, but got the concept right for the Blazers/Hawks trade. Blazers get some shooting depth while the Hawks clear out a skillset redundancy. Hawks get a big man, although Reath is out for the year. The play for them is the extra second-round picks they acquired

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Trying to do some stuff where I blend Grizzlies and scouting philosophy with some quick-hits on prospects that fit the topic. So had a few shooters to watch for Example: Collin Chandler, Kentucky wing that's an excellent shooter and adding value in the possessions game (stocks, ball security)

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

i know timelines like to get doom and gloom, but the Grizzlies have a winnable stretch where they can get into December with some momentum -- even with all the injuries going on right now

010

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

The Grizzlies announced the following about Brandon Clarke. This timeline will be roughly between 12/23 and 1/13

16 / Eager to see actions like this one with Ja Morant. Iverson action with the opposite elbow screening for the receiver. Ball reversal to the 1 on the opposite side -- the other wing relocates for empty corner. Before screen can come, Shorts rejects it for EC drive +1

000

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

15/ I like how Bonn keeps the shell of the defense in tact in this post-up opportunities -- the way the off-ball defenders are structured here shuts down cutting lanes, and trusts the post defender to win the matchup. Once the post player realizes he doesn't have the shot here, it's a TO

100

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

14 / PNR defense: a key for Iisalo teams is to make it a 2v2 action. The screener's defender hedges, and the handler's defender plugs into the passing lane of roller while recovering. Then the screen defender recovers to his man. (TBD on how this works with Edey, but should work with Jaren/Santi)

100

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

13 / the PNR is all about securing an advantage. Paris uses the PNR to generate a switch -- which creates a speed advantage with the ball-handler, and size advantage on the screener. Shorts gets downhill, and the big gets an easy seal (Gortat) down low for the layup

100

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

12 / Early-clock, empty-corner PNR > rejected for the quick score. I swear TJ Shorts is one of the fastest basketball players I've ever seen

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

11 / The shot didn't go, but I believe I see a Gortat seal for the roller -- which is super sick, don't see a lot of that. The roller though went for the quick push shot

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

10 / Some good "help the helper" principles being shown later in the possession. - low-man rotates over to shut off a lane on the baseline drive. weak-side wing helps on the block - low-man rotates over on the roll. weak-side wing helps on the block

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

9 / Two instances in this game where the wing lifts to Stampede Cut, then the opposite side wing crashes baseline for the dump-off and finish

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

8 / Really liked the PNR coverage from Paris here. Hedge + recover from the big. Shorts plugs in the passing lane while recovering. Tag comes from the weak-side low man. Only pass the ball-handler can make is to the weak-side corner. Enough time for the tagger to close out.

100

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

7 / A key component of pace is to give yourself the most amount of time possible to run optimal actions. Shorts initiates the PNR at the 20-second mark in the shot clock, and gets to the mid-range jumper against drop coverage

120

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

6 / The Gortat screen in transition is immaculate 🤌

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

5 / The dish to the baseline cut off the stampede drive here absolutely rocked

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

4 / Really like how Paris contained the PNR here. Lots of activity from the screener defender to show on the ball-handler while the BH's defender plugged the passing lane while recovering. Then the defender off the handoff navigated it well and showed great POA defense to force a suboptimal shot

110

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

3 / The wheel is utilized in Iisalo's system.The off-ball movement isn't the receiver here, but it's leveraged to chase space in the zone. Re-space between the left wing + corner. Varejo screen for Shorts to attack the middle of the zone for the runner -- the roll occupies the interior defender

100

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

2 / Wonderful PNR work here. Varejo screen - reject drive - backdoor cut for layup. The vision with a PG like Ja Morant.

130

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

1 / Off the miss, Paris quickly gets into shell defense here. The thing that caught my eye was the limited help due to how they contained their defenders 1v1. Nafi (3) went under the screen on the handoff, which allowed him to halt the drive. Then the deflection for TO

🧵 doing a film study over the next month on Tuomas Iisalo's teams in Paris and Bonn. will post full breakdown on subtsakalidis before training camp starts, but starting a thread of plays that stand out over time

Did something similar with BC and Pippen awhile back, but so cool to see how Ty Jerome’s creation triggers multiple aspects of his game/impact

010

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

When combining regular season and playoffs, only one player attempted 150+ dribble jumpers on a 60% effective field goal percentage: Ty Jerome. The newest Grizzly shot 200 dribble jumpers at a 60 eFG%

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Yeah I don’t think people realize how tall he is. Sure the fro adds height but look at him next to Jaren

020

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

@therealhrdlicka.bsky.social @chrisherrington.bsky.social does this look right in the Grizzlies' quest to create more cap space?

I have this scouting report from my draft guide coming out, then I had him as a draft riser at end of year 2024 open.substack.com/pub/subtsaka...

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Small preview of my draft guide here: Yaxel Lendeborg and Miles Byrd both were in my top-20 on my board, but both are returning to school next year. Versatile players who will add value in the possessions game and impact high-leverage basketball

040

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

have read a lot of professional development books over the past year, and i don’t think one has resonated more

010

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

totally agree -- and likewise, let me know if you have any questions. this is where my first-round stands at the moment, for context

210

Parker Fleming @pakaflocka.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Fun with lineup data: the Grizzlies are a +23.8 with an offensive rating of 136.6 and defensive rating of 112.8 in 164 possessions in lineups with Ja/Bane/Santi/Jaren. The only negative combination? Marcus Smart. Small sample, but Santi’s solidified himself as a closer IMO
