Hustle Stats

@ShamsCharania That is a pretty good add to pickup some of those lost Dort and Wiggins minutes on the wing. Positive defender, rebounds well for his position, and added a 3pt shot last year. Denver needs to match though if they’re going to move on from Watson, Gordon, or someone else.

Denver restricted free agent Spencer Jones has agreed to a two-year, $12 million offer sheet with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adam Godes of ADS Sports tells ESPN. Jones was a key contributor for the Nuggets last season, including an NBA-best 69% from 3-point range during the playoffs, and now is ready to conclude chapter in Denver to move onto OKC.

@kyriecenter “The cross and sauce” was an elite in moment call from Ian Eagle

This move by Kyrie will always live in my head rent free 😭

One reason LeBron fits seamlessly next to other superstars: his passing and quick decision-making. Last season he ranked 7th on the Lakers in Seconds per Touch and Dribbles per Touch (outside the top 100 league-wide in both) — plus 9th league-wide in % of passes leading to assists. (Stats via NBA.com) Pairing that kind of quick, unselfish decision-making with finishers like Maxey, Brown, Embiid, and Edgecombe could help this 76ers offense become efficient quickly

Protecting the rim without fouling is a superpower. Few were better in the 2025-26 season than Donovan Clingan, 99th percentile in Rim Points Saved (points prevented via rim contests), and in the 14th percentile in Foul%, meaning he fouled less than 86% of bigs at the rim. (stats via @databallr) 3 things I noticed on tape: 1) Shows hands without reaching 2) Stays disciplined in his verticality (only leaves his feet on a live shot attempt) 3) Doesn't bite on ball fakes
