The offseason is prime time for player rankings. Media giants and small outlets alike crank out top 100 lists (like I did earlier this month) or similar arrangements during the dead period of the news cycle.

The Unsung Heroes of the 2022-23 NBA Regular Season (4/7/23)
The talent level in the NBA is at an all-time high. With all the blinding star power shining every night, too many talented players slip through the cracks and fall under the average fan’s radar. So with the 2022-23 regular season nearly complete, I wanted to show appreciation to some of those unsung heroes thatContinue reading “The Unsung Heroes of the 2022-23 NBA Regular Season (4/7/23)”
Things Are Finally Looking Up for the Sacramento Kings (11/21/22)
The Sacramento Kings have been the laughingstock of the league for a while now. They haven’t earned a playoff berth in a whopping 16 seasons, an absolutely woeful streak. Their stay in NBA purgatory has been extended by questionable draft decisions, poor defense, and a lack of game-changing free-agency acquisitions. They’ve tried to be competitiveContinue reading “Things Are Finally Looking Up for the Sacramento Kings (11/21/22)”

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)”

Summer League Standouts (8/18/21)
The 2021 NBA Summer League has wrapped up. There were plenty of players that showed their skill and value. In this article, I’m gonna talk about some players that impressed me. Guys like Tyrese Maxey, Immanuel Quickley, Patrick Williams, and Payton Pritchard all played really well, but I’m not gonna talk about them because theyContinue reading “Summer League Standouts (8/18/21)”
Grading the 2021 NBA Draft (8/5/21)
(I’m prefacing this article by telling you that I’m not highly knowledgeable on the guys in this draft class. I’ve done some research (I’ve read articles, watched videos, listened to podcasts, etc.), but the big thing is that I haven’t watched many of these guys play a lot. Therefore, if my opinion is a littleContinue reading “Grading the 2021 NBA Draft (8/5/21)”
