Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

by Kevin Yeung

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

Basketball's Best Weekend: A Review

by John Wilmes

On the Cavaliers doing to the Magic what the Knicks did to them last season, Milwaukee saving up their competitive juices, New York's rabid hustle cult, Minnesota vanquishing their playoff inexperience, a nerve-inducing game in OKC and more.

Yeah looks like it...I think Jose can do it, he's gonna need some adjustments but if we can keep Marion, we're gonna be a real fun team to watch

On a side note, I can't believe DD is only 19 years old...I wouldn't call him articulate like AP or anything but for a 19 year old, he seems to be fairly mature and well spoken, no?

I don't think the coaching staff wants a balls to the wall running team like a Golden State or SSOL Suns. I think we're just looking for a team that can punish you for your turnovers, missed shots, etc.

Agreed. IMO teams need to selectively run and to be able to execute in the front court to really be solid.

That's what this team will do.

The idea that we will go balls to the wall when we have one of the deadliest pick and roll combos in Jose and CB is stupid.
