Great minds mostly thought alike here — really encourage checking this episode out as @basket_review launches next week. Isaac’s show will be a very analytical and thoughtful look at college hoops from multiple angles. I think 3MW fans will find this to be a welcome complement.
The first episode of The Isaac Trotter Show, sponsored by @HomefieldApparl, drops Tuesday under the @basket_review umbrella!. The great @2ndChancePoints and I dished on which teams have built the bones of a top-10 offense.

Excellent. I’m glad we can keep debating whether we should or shouldn’t expand for another couple weeks/months.
Sources: The NCAA men’s and women’s basketball committees have finished meeting this week and did not come to a decision or make a recommendation on tournament expansion. All options remain on the table, and discussions are continuing.

Completely get it from Pierce’s perspective. Get a Princeton degree AND a portal payday in a year (TBD what that market is like vs this year’s). Timing is pretty rough, though it’s not like Princeton could have been fishing a replacement stud out of the portal.
NEWS: Princeton star Caden Pierce, the 2023-24 Ivy League Player of the Year, plans to redshirt next season in order to finish his degree before entering the transfer portal and playing his final season elsewhere in 2026-27, he told ESPN.

Is this the new #1 “most written by an agent” Shams tweet.
The Houston Rockets are trading Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The deal gives Whitmore a tremendous opportunity for an increased role as he turns 21 on Tuesday and returns to the DMV area.

The Dominican Republic U19 team is 9/30 from the FT line and is still only down a possession against Israel in the 4th quarter. Fascinating game that is equal parts fun and horrendous (ok maybe a little more horrendous than fun).

I have absolutely no idea how this is possible within the cap constraints, but holy hell what a perfect fit with Giannis.
BREAKING: Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources tell ESPN. Stunner.

Turned on FIBA U19. First play is a guy in the corner stepping out of bounds on the sideline. It’s nuts how often that still happens, the sideline is lava guys.
