Identifying and tracking elite basketball players on their journey from prospect to professional.
00:00- Pelicans No. 14 overall pick Jordan Hawkins went for 16 points, 5 assists & 2 steals in his NBA Summer League debut. The flamethrowing 6-foot-5 Gaithersburg, MD native showed off his lethal shooting stroke in his first game since winning the National Championship with UConn.
00:00 - Spent time in the gym with Florida’s national champion point guard Walter Clayton Jr. Hard to find a prospect in this Draft class more comfortable getting to their shooting pocket off the bounce. Impeccable balance and touch.
00:00 - Maryland’s Derik Queen dominated Rutgers with 29 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists in front of 50 scouts from 27 NBA teams. He’s the first freshman to post 25-15-5 in two decades.
00:00 - Intriguing showing from Michigan's Danny Wolf last night in a road win at Wisconsin. Heavy BSC dosage from Dusty May, where the 7-footer displayed his unique playmaking ability on-ball. First D1 player w/ 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 3 steals, 2/4 3P in 8 years.
00:00 - One of my all-time favorite quotes from our prospect interviews over the years.
01:0727 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from deep last night for Memphis Grizzlies rookie Cedric Coward. It’s been a promising week one in the League for the 11th pick. Highly active on both ends, crashing the glass, making simple reads, generating efficient looks. - Mavs SL HC Jared Dudley discusses misconceptions about what’s valued by decision-makers in NBA Summer League: “There will be some 25-point scorers here that will not play in the NBA next year. There will be some guys who average 5 or 6 that will.'" (via @MikeACurtis2)
00:00 - Watched Duke’s Khaman Maluach work out in Chicago. Fascinating prospect on a unique trajectory from South Sudan. At 7’2 with a 7’7 wingspan, he has the tools to anchor both ends and a joyful personality that lights up a room.
00:00 - Undrafted two-way guard D'Moi Hodge closed Summer League in terrific fashion for the Los Angeles Lakers, putting up 23 PTS on 7/11 shooting from 3PT while swiping 5 STL, 5 REB & 3 AST. Shot 40% from 3PT in SL on 7 attempts per game while bringing significant defensive intensity.
00:00 - LA Lakers No. 40 overall pick Max Lewis showing promise in Summer League! The fluid 6-foot-7 wing capitalized in his 20 MINS today, showing off his explosiveness, multi-faceted shot-making & ability to make reads off the bounce to the tune of 12 PTS, 4 REB & 2 AST w/ pair of 3s.
00:00 - Incredible perspective by OKC Thunder No. 26 pick Dillon Jones describing his decision to withdraw from the Draft last year and return to Weber State. “You could probably run up-and-down the court and you know, be in the NBA, and say you in it, but does that mean for you?”
00:00 - Undrafted two-way guard D'Moi Hodge making his presence felt in NBA Summer League with the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s shown off his elite shooting stroke while bringing intensity on both ends of the floor with pesky on-ball pressure.
00:00 - The Terrence Shannon Jr. “Sales Pitch” ➤ 23-year-old lefty Wing, Illinois ➤ 6’6” with a 6’8 ¼” wingspan ➤ 23.0 PPG | 4.0 RPG | 1 SPG ➤ Elite coast-to-coast burst ➤ NBA explosiveness + strength ➤ Defensive versatility ➤ 36.2% on 6.7 3PA ➤ CnS 3: 34% | OTD 3: 39%
