My December big board update is here! Tons of early movement and a new name in my top 5!
Story below 🔽
I'm trying to post my new article but Bluesky says the post is not found. Here's hoping this one works.
Anyway, here's my eastern conference breakdown and prediction: theoutletpass.medium.com/predicting-t...
NEW: Trying something new today with a preview/prediction of the eastern conference standings. Feel free to make fun of my predictions and bookmark for next May.

NEW WORDS: Zoom Diallo is one of the most intriguing young scorers in college basketball despite the fact that he only made 6 (yes, you read that right) three-pointers in his freshman season. Link to his scouting report in the next post.

Never mind. I finished early.
new article tomorrow
Covid got hands but I'm back to writing
the greatest show ever made
fighting covid, will write when that's over with
I don't think John Wall, Bradley Beal, or Gilbert Arenas should have their numbers retired
Turning Norm Powell into Beal and John Collins is incredible business. Clippers front office is cooking.
AJ Johnson is not a great pull-up shooter
maybe it's nothing but I'm always interested in players' free throw routines. He does 1 quick ball spin then it's up into the shot
Yeah, when the ref throws the ball to him he immediately goes into the shot with no hesitation. Don't see that too often. I know SGA does something similar so I'm curious if there's a specific reason behind it.
@byvarunshankar.bsky.social if you have the opportunity I need you to ask why Tre only takes like 2-3 seconds on his free throws
Random Nets observations I didn't have space to discuss:
• Traore is fast. VERY fast. His shot attempts once he gets downhill are incredibly basic and didn't seem to challenge Sarr at all
• Saraf and Wolf are going to be bottom 10 defenders in the league
• Demin's shot mechanics are still great
Drew Timme scored almost 1/3 of the Nets' total points. Add Tyson Etienne and that's 46.8%. God, that team is going to be awful next year. Not exactly encouraged that we barely beat them, but at least they didn't lose.
This clip really demonstrates my issue with Tre as a defender. If his goal is to switch then it wasn't communicated to Jamir. Even if it was, there is no way for Jamir to cover Ryan Dunn. Their backs are parallel to each other. Phoenix blows the entire scheme open without even setting a screen.
Also, apologies for not writing more. I caught a bad stomach flu before the draft which threw me off my game and I have some personal deadlines to hit for my fantasy writing. I hope to release a fantasy novel (mostly based on my D&D campaign world) at some point but that's far away.
