    Looking at 2 excellent freshmen RBs

    I don't think anyone should rely on the KSU game to talk about Sama's potential, but I also don't think it's necessary to use the KSU game to say that Sama still has that high-end potential (with a lot of "ifs" in there). After removing the KSU game from his stats in 2023, he still averaged 5...

    Niang Traded to Celtics

    One of my favorite fun facts. He's got 295, Tatum has 291, and Jokic has 288, then a big gap to Bridges in 4th place. With the solid moves the Nuggets have made and the Celtics' likely down season, Niang will probably lose the top spot this year, but he hopefully won't fall any lower than 2nd...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    Yeah, his monthly splits show a lot to be intrigued by. Only 7 (regular season) games in April, but he had highs in points, rebounds, and assists, while shooting over 50% from three. He's got a lot of potential, and he'll certainly get the opportunity next season.

    Mason Williams commits to ISU

    That's one way to look at it. A different way would be that he didn't fit in with the culture that led to a Sweet 16 in year #1.

    Mason Williams commits to ISU

    The only recent examples of a transfer sitting out and leaving before ever playing are Blake Hinson and Jeremiah Williams. One of those was a pre-Otz transfer who clearly didn't fit with Otz's style and the other was caught up in the gambling investigation--it's not exactly a trend. If you want...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    I like the Magic comparisons because he's the best example of how to be a superstar while still being a distributor. For comparison between all the guys you mentioned, here are their averages through their first 37 playoff games started in their careers (Tyrese's current number): Age Range...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    That, too. Knicks fans talk about having no depth, but part of the way you get depth is by trying out different lineups during the regular season to see what works and in what situations players play best. I have a hard time believing that Ben Sheppard and Thomas Bryant/Tony Bradley are enough...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    Kind of surprising, but if I were a Knicks fan I think I'd be supportive of the change. I can't help but think that if Carlisle and Thibs swapped benches, the outcome might have swapped, too. The play style of putting so much reliance on heavy minutes from the starters and offensive workload on...

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    I was going to post this video if someone hadn't already. It's really great. I like how the video goes in depth on how they play fast--but not necessarily fast in the sense that they always run the court and take a really quick shot (though they sometimes do that as well and did it a ton in the...

    If Haliburton Wins the NBA Finals This Year...

    Worth keeping in mind that Tyrese will also hopefully be back a couple more times to hang gold medal banners. He should be in line to have a more prominent role on the 2028 and 2032 Olympic teams.

    If Haliburton Wins the NBA Finals This Year...

    I realize it's a different thing, but worth reminding that Tyrese is up there with a gold medal banner. When fans and recruits come to Hilton, they will see his name in the rafters, regardless of whether his jersey has been retired or not.

    Haliburton Does It Again

    Yes, it was. This reddit post has a video with all 14.

    Big 12 report card 2024-25

    Besides Auburn, the only loss where every player in the main 8-man rotation played was BYU at home in the second-to-last regular season game. Of course, Gilbert wasn't really at full strength for that game.

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    It's pretty funny (and sad) to imagine how Brunson and Tyrese would be covered differently if they simply swapped teams. To be fair, at least most national media didn't jump on the "overrated" train in the wake of that player poll. But that's mostly because Tyrese's huge shots in the playoffs...

    ESPN's Streaming Service Will Cost Up To $30/mo

    I would have really liked to have had this a couple of years ago. Under the Big 12's current TV deal, it is quite a bit less useful. I'll stick with Sling as the most cost-effective plan for the time being. (FWIW, on Sling, you can go into your account and flip between Sling Orange and Sling...
