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)”

2022 All-Stars So Far (12/10/21)

We’re about a fourth of the way through the 2021-22 NBA season. Every team has played a little over 20 games. So, just like I did last season, I’m making my All-Star picks if the game were to happen today. These are subject to change before the real All-Star selection. Each conference has four backcourtContinue reading “2022 All-Stars So Far (12/10/21)”

7 Free Agents That Can Still Make an Impact (12/1/21)

NBA teams rarely finish a season with the exact same roster they began with. A trade or a signing is always made. Contending teams like the Lakers usually leave a roster spot open so they can sign a guy mid-season. The Milwaukee Bucks did that this season, and on Sunday they picked up former All-StarContinue reading “7 Free Agents That Can Still Make an Impact (12/1/21)”

I Become the GM of the Indiana Pacers (11/21/21)

After almost a year, the “I become the GM of” series is returning. Today, I am stepping in as the GM of the Indiana Pacers. If you haven’t read one before, I use NBA2K’s MyNBA mode for these articles. I make all the trades, free-agent signings, and staff hirings I think the Pacers should do,Continue reading “I Become the GM of the Indiana Pacers (11/21/21)”

Buy or Sell: Early Overperformers (11/12/21)

We’re only a few weeks into the 2021-22 NBA season, but it’s been a year’s worth of fun. So far we’ve seen a bunch of players perform below their expectations, but we’ve also seen guys perform above them. Today, I’m playing a game of buy or sell with six of those overachievers. I’ll tell youContinue reading “Buy or Sell: Early Overperformers (11/12/21)”

Richaun Holmes is Making a Push for Top 10 Center Status (11/6/21)

In the 2018-19 season, Richaun Holmes was nothing more than a solid backup big for the Suns. In 70 games (4 starts), he put up 8 points and 5 rebounds per game while shooting 61% from the field. However, in NBA2K19, he played like prime Shaq or something. He grabbed every rebound and dunked everyContinue reading “Richaun Holmes is Making a Push for Top 10 Center Status (11/6/21)”

The Most Underrated 2022 Rookie (11/5/21)

When you’re thinking of the best rookies so far this season, you probably think about Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, Scottie Barnes, Chris Duarte, or Josh Giddey. Those are valid choices. There’s another guy who I think deserves to be in that conversation. He’s played at an All-Rookie level, and a lot of fans probably don’tContinue reading “The Most Underrated 2022 Rookie (11/5/21)”

The Charlotte Hornets are a Ton of Fun (10/31/21)

The 2020-21 NBA season was my first with League Pass. I spent countless hours in my basement watching all 30 teams play. I loved watching every team (because I love watching basketball), but I definitely had favorites. Besides the Bucks and the Spurs, I found myself watching a ton of Hornets basketball. They weren’t superContinue reading “The Charlotte Hornets are a Ton of Fun (10/31/21)”

Jordan+Mamu: the Most Underrated (and fun) Young Duo (10/22/21)

The reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks are one of the deeper teams in the NBA. They don’t have a ton of big names like the Lakers or the Nets, but the chemistry and energy their bench guys bring makes their bench mob one of the best. The bench is highlighted by fan-favorite Bobby Portis Jr., veteranContinue reading “Jordan+Mamu: the Most Underrated (and fun) Young Duo (10/22/21)”

Predicting the Top 100 NBA Players of 2022 (10/19/21)

A few weeks ago, I put out my top 100 players of 2021 list. Now, I’m putting out my prediction list. I made one last year (wow. I’ve had this blog for an entire season. That’s crazy), and it wasn’t great. I did ok. I think I’m going to do better this time around. TheContinue reading “Predicting the Top 100 NBA Players of 2022 (10/19/21)”
