Thoughts on the Donovan Mitchell Trade (9/1/22)
Kevin Durant didn’t get traded, but we got the next best thing. In somewhat of a shocking event, the Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired All-Star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. In exchange for their franchise player, Utah received Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks, and two pick swaps. AfterContinue reading “Thoughts on the Donovan Mitchell Trade (9/1/22)”
Ranking the Top Seven Young Cores in the NBA (8/19/22)
The NBA is absolutely loaded with young talent. Seven members of my top 25 of the 2022 season are under 25 years old.

Regrading the 2021 NBA Draft (12/19/21)
I’m an NBA draft casual. I’ve said this before, and it’s true. I don’t pay much attention to college basketball except for during March Madness (I predicted Baylor winning it all, by the way), so therefore I don’t have a ton of knowledge on incoming NBA rookies heading into the draft. Now that we’re aroundContinue reading “Regrading the 2021 NBA Draft (12/19/21)”
