Sheesh, what a move by Paolo Banchero He balances incredible strength packed into a 6’10” frame with the finesse and handle of a point guard I think people don’t fully understand how special of a player he is, but he’ll remind everyone soon now that he’s healthy again 👀

Did you know that, at just 21 years old, Shaedon Sharpe is already an 80th percentile scorer in isolation? He’s clearly on a star trajectory and has the potential to be the best player on the Blazers in a couple years

Over the last 3 weeks, Bub Carrington averages 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists on 49% FG and 40% 3PT He has a 4.5 AST/TO ratio, as a 19-year old rook He plays with a ton of poise and gets to his spots well when he’s aggressive The kid is special

You can see so many different shades of greatness in Cooper Flagg’s game From Jayson Tatum to Kevin Garnett, he embodies a ton of archetypes that are conducive to winning Clearly the top prospect in this draft

After a breakout year 3, Jalen Suggs continues to improve for the Magic, with him tapping back into his playmaking with Banchero out He’s averaging the most assists since his (4.0) and the most FTAs (2.9) since his rookie year Love to see the passing & aggression resurfacing

Tough loss aside, am I tripping or is Giannis not receiving enough praise and attention for the season he’s having? He’s averaging a 32.6 points (career-high), 11.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists (career-high) on a career-best 62.6% FG shooting and playing like a top-3 MVP candidate

Don’t let the way the Spurs are handling him (playing him off the bench and in limited minutes) affect how you view Devin Vassell In fact, they’re being careful with him BECAUSE of how important he is to the franchise He’s a pure bucket getter, who gets 17.9 ppg in only 23 mpg

Tyler Herro averages career-highs in points (23.7) and assists (4.9), all while being the most efficient he’s ever been on FGs (46.1% on 17.6 FGA) and from 3 (40.7% on 9.9 3PA) He looks like the guy in Miami, showcasing that last year’s hot start was a sneak peak not a fluke

Trentyn Flowers was my highest ranked player (#26) to go undrafted I really liked his combination of size, speed, athleticism, and scoring He’s putting it together at the G-league level for the Clippers, where he’s averaging 15.1 ppg on 48% FG (10.1 FGA) & 47% 3P (2.4 3PA) Watch him closely 👀

On the surface level, Tidjane Salaun’s stats jump out, but he seems to be trending upwards, especially lately In his last 3 GP, the rook averages: - 15.0 mpg - 8.0 ppg (19.2 per 36) - 1.3 3pm (3.1 per 36) - 4.0 rpg (9.6 per 36) - 0.7 bpg (1.7 per 36) Someone to watch with Grant hurt now 👀

With Suggs, unfortunately, set to miss some time, it’s time again to highlight Anthony Black Over his last 10 GP, AB averages 10.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 block He’s one of the leagues best defensive guards and is now Orlando’s secondary playmaker

In the 6 games this year where he’s played 20+ minutes, Moussa Diabate averages: - 4.8 points - 13.7 rebounds - 1.2 assists - 1.3 steals - 1.7 blocks He’s relentless with a knack for swallowing up offensive rebounds to create extra possessions Arrow ↗️

Tonight’s 30-point performance marks SEVEN straight games with 20+ points for Jared McCain The rookie is averaging 26.6 points and 4.5 assists over this span He’s the Sixers’ most consistent option, and that’s huge for a team looking to establish an identity and build momentum

Since Paolo got injured, Jalen Suggs averages 14.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.2 spg, and 1.3 bpg, all while playing ALL-NBA level defense Actually, despite being a G, his BLK% is 3.7, similar to Giannis and Jarrett Allen, and STL% is top-15 in the league He’s building off of a big year 3 leap 👀

Game after game, you can see Isaiah Collier learning how to utilize his rim pressure to set up his teammates for easy looks at the perimeter He’s averaging 6 APG over his last two games, and he’s on track to pass that with 5 assists in the 1st half today

Point Made Basketball @pointmadebball.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Moussa Diabate CONSISTENTLY makes winning plays when he’s on the court, from taking charges to earning extra possession on the offensive glass Even with Williams & Richards en route to return, Diabate has made his case to be a meaningful part of this rotation going forward

020

Point Made Basketball @pointmadebball.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

And here’s an example how the threat of his playmaking opens up the floor for his scoring too His ball fakes have to be respected, and he’s been making a meaningful effort to attack more and get downhill, which helps him get to the line more too

Point Made Basketball @pointmadebball.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I’ve talked about how Anthony Black’s confidence as a playmaker has risen, especially recently (5.3 APG over his last 3 GP) He’s been trusted to initiate the offense more and that’s when he’s at his best Don’t forget that he’s one of the best guard defenders in the league too

Psychotic defensive motor and great screen navigation from Toumani Camara, who is really establishing himself as a defensive weapon on Portland He was a “throw-in” in the Nurkic trade, and now he’s averaging 1.7 steals in 31.4 mpg What a rise and a testament to his work ethic

Over his last 5 games, De’Aaron Fox is shooting 56/56/80 and averaging: 38.0 ppg (24.8 FGA) 3.0 3pm (5.4 3PA) 4.6 rpg 7.2 apg 1.8 spg 0.4 bpg Is Swipa a lock for all-star and all-nba recognition?

Anthony Black has grown in so many ways He’s emerged as one of the league’s best perimeter defenders and is regaining his confidence as a playmaker (improved his APG from 1.3 to 4.3) And he’s beginning to show off his self-creation traits too 🤯

Highlighted Oso Ighodaro earlier today prior to his first career start, in which he delivered a very well rounded game He led the bigs with 32 minutes, finishing with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals Don’t sleep on the Suns’ rookie big man

Anthony Black showing off some wizardry with his pick and roll navigation and ballhandling in on this play People forget that he was touted as one of the best playmakers in his draft class, and he’s really tapped back into his bread and butter this year

In October, Ryan Dunn shot 44% from 3 on 5.0 attempts per game In November, he’s shooting 24.1% from 3 on 4.1 attempts per game He caught a lot of people off guard with his hot shooting to start the year But is he regressing to the mean or is this just a regular rookie slump?

Patrick Williams is heating up in a big way In his last 5GP, he averages: 32.8 mpg 14.0 ppg (49% FG on 9.4 FGA) 2.4 3pm (50% 3PT on 4.8 3PA) 5.2 rpg 3.6 apg 1.8 spg 0.8 bpg Looks more comfortable as a scorer and playmaker, while playing strong defense

After playing just 9.8 mpg in his first 7 games, Jarace Walker earned a bigger role after Indy’s front court injuries He’s played 23.1 mpg in his last 5, and showcased his versatility: 8.6 ppg (53% FG) 1.6 3pm (57% 3PT) 4.8 rpg 1.8 apg 2.0 spg 0.8 bpg Is Jarace’s time finally here? 👀

LeBron + Shooters is one of the league’s most dangerous combos Good thing they landed Dalton Knecht, one of the most potent shooters and offball movers in the draft He’s fit in seamlessly with the starters and averages 20 PPG and 4.0 3PM over his last 3

Stephon Castle’s finishing ability, coupled with his ballhandling, has had no problem translating into the NBA He’s already finishing at a 65% rate at the rim, and his body control and ability to finish thru contract shine whenever he gets downhill

With Quickley and Barnes hurt, Ochai Agbaji established himself within this raptors rotation He’s improved in nearly every category PPG: 6.7 ➡️ 13.2 RPG: 3.3 ➡️ 4.8 APG: 1.3 ➡️ 1.8 SPG: 0.7 ➡️ 1.4 TOS: 1.1 ➡️ 1.1 %s: 39/22/61 ➡️ 54/45/72 TS%: 45% ➡️ 64%

Moussa Diabate has dominated the boards, especially offensively He had 14 boards, with 10 of them being OREBS He’s rocking a double-double too, with 12 points, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks He’s been huge for Charlotte after Mark and Nick got injured

Stephon Castle led the Spurs with a +17 +/- in a close loss against LA He was scoring from all levels, finishing with 22 points on 7-12 FG (3-4 3PT) and 5 assists He was a touted three level scorer as a prospect, and he’s tapping back into that potential

Point Made Basketball @pointmadebball.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

At the half, Jared McCain has: 9 Points (4-6 FG) 1 3PM (1-3 3P) 4 Assists (Team High) 0 Turnovers +11 +/- (Team High) He’s a seamless fit alongside both Embiid and George, and he’s potent both off-ball and as a playmaker/initiator I think he’ll slide in very well with Maxey

Nothing like having a 7-footer who can pick up a loose ball, lead a fast break, and make an accurate lob pass for an easy alley oop Kyle Filipowski falling to the second round, regardless of circumstance, looks crazier and crazier the more we see him play

Cody Williams has gone under the radar so far, but he stands out when makes an effort to be aggressive and get downhill At Colorado, CDub shot 73.6% at the rim He’s only shooting 58.3% at rim with the Jazz, and that highlights his need to get stronger to improve his finishing in the NBA
