Hot Hand Theory

Towns has set 411 on-ball picks over that span. Of the 77 players who have set at least 150, no screener has been more successful on a per-action basis than Towns (1.24 points per direct screen). A very promising sign for NY as the playoffs loom

FWIW I think, despite how poorly it’s turned out, the Myles Turner move was a legit fine last ditch effort. What he was in Indiana was the ideal Center next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. We just collectively underrated how much Tyrese Haliburton was elevating his perceived value.

Ryan Rollins only makes 4 million next year, crazy value

Think about how crazy it is that the Milwaukee Bucks fired Mike Budenholzer, who won them a title, hired Adrian Griffin, fired Adrian Griffin 43 games into a season in which he was 30-13, hired … DOC RIVERS … traded Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma and waived-and-stretched Damian Lillard (thus taking on an annual $20 million cap hit for nothing) to add Myles Turner.

The top 5 teams in Deep 3PT% 1. MIN 37% 2. LAC 35% 3. MIL 35% 4. PHX 35% 5. BOS 34%

I don't quite understand why Keon Ellis doesn't get more PT. I get he just landed in Cleveland, so can't judge his time there yet, but whenever he plays he seems to bring good energy, tough defense and, just often enough, solid offensive production. Sacto could've played him more last year and early this season.
