Athleticism is overrated and David Mirkovic is here to prove that.
Despite zero dunks and a horrid stock rate, Mirkovic projects to be one of the best players in college basketball and a first-round pick, with a rare combo of size, feel, physicality and touch.

The similarities between Alvaro Folgueiras and Brandin Podziemski’s profiles are shocking.
Stretch Podz out to 6’10” and make him a more competent interior scorer and that’s it.

Malachi Moreno's going to shoot it at some point.
In 28 games against top-100 competition as a freshman, he shot 73.5% from the line on a 0.94 (!!!) free-throw rate—also, 70.5% at the rim and 51.4% on 35 long 2s in the season as a whole.
Processing, touch and defensive tools.

Duke picked their transfers so well. I’ve written about Drew Scharnowski, and John Blackwell’s the headliner for obvious reasons, but I’m even a fan if Jacob Theodosiou.
6’4” lead guard, disruptive on defense, 55% from 2, gets to the line and bombs from 3.

My favorite David Mirkovic query.
Size, feel, physicality, touch and youth are a rare intersection, but nearly foolproof.
Height: ≥6'8"
Age: U22
DBPM ≥ 2.0
15.0 ≥ DREB%
15.0 ≥ AST%
0.75 ≥ FT%

Folks hate Joe bc they think this shit is corny or autistic, really he's just a rural Ohio hippie. There are hundreds of guys like this in Athens.
Joe Burrow on playing Catan:
"I like to hoard my ore, typically. Some ore and wheat. Depending on how the board plays out."
"We haven't broken the Catan out yet in the locker room. Hopefully we can get that going."

Might have to write something longform about Primetime.
Not my favorite movie of the year but some really well thought out conceptual choices, and awesome use of color to represent something larger.

The “6-7” stuff kinda clouded my view of Kinney as a prospect for a while, but when you actually look at the film and numbers, his game does all the talking.
He’s being slept on a bit in draft conversations, and Logan does a good job of laying out why⬇️
Taylen Kinney is maligned by large shares of the draft community.
He's not without his lukewarm traits and weaknesses, but much of it comes from the trends he's headlined or the antics of the league he's joined.
Let's dive into Kinney, the basketball player.

Isaac Okoro is THE ANTEATER
A fundamental weapon for stopping Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves as contenders, his physicality and familiarity make him the Ant stopper, while presenting trends aligning with $150 million NBA Champ Mikal Bridges, beyond vanilla career metrics
Accessible metrics means sorting and scrolling no longer gets you ‘true sleepers’; lukewarm ‘film studies’ never did 😅
The ‘new’ edge lies in dissecting profiles and waiting for mean regression
What currently ‘bad’ players carry clear alignment with impactful peak performance?

Best guard room in mid-major hoops.
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Kolton Mitchell is this team’s SIXTH MAN!!! He would be a starter on some P4 teams.
Jackson Paveletzke (and 90+ others) are now granted a fifth year of eligibility, thanks to a preliminary injunction issued in Indiana state court on Wednesday.
The decision officially allows Paveletzke to return to @OhioMBasketball for another year.
