Spoke with an NBA scout today, big takeaway:
“I honestly want to see a bad offensive game where he shoots awful from the floor, to see how he reacts. Does it affect his defense? Does he contribute in other areas? Does he check out? What does he do when it’s not all clicking?”

Just watched Bradley Beal’s ($221M career earnings) and Kyle Kuzma’s ($34M) pregame workout:
Mikan drill
Form shooting out to FT line
Floater from the blocks
5 spots, 2 made shots
FTs
Runners from the short corners
Baseline pullup
Never get bored with the basics.

I like it
Normally I am not a fan of a player running through a dribble hand-off (when pressured they run over top instead of cutting the pressure backdoor), but this play from the Bucks seems to work well with this concept. Fake the one DHO to run the next one.

I’ve never seen a bad CC tweet
Brunson is absurd. Look at everything he evaded on this possession:
- 3/4 court trap
- denied get action
- denied gut-Chicago action
- nesmith squaring up on the comeback
- playing off two feet and pivoting to avoid the exaggerated help to his dominant left
what a sequence
