Introducing a new basketball stat I created called PEST! It is used to quantify the aggressiveness of perimeter defense in the NBA.

Blue Jays have shown they value splitters and Jose Soriano has one of the best in the league.
SPs with highest Whiff% on Splitters:
1) Imanaga
2) Gausman
3) Soriano
4) Yesavage
Soriano throws it 19% (9% in ‘25) of the time compared to 38% and 29% from Gausman and Yesavage.
I think this analysis is flawed since including prospects that were traded at the deadline from the last few years skews the results. Let’s say a team traded for a stud 19 year old in 2024 or 2025; it’s extremely unlikely that they even made the big leagues yet.
We studied nearly 700 prospects traded at the deadline since 2015.
Less than 7% of them have produced 5+ bWAR 😳

This also doesn’t include our International or D2 transfers.
@matthewwinick is an absolute mad man for compiling these rankings so give him a follow.
Baba Miller was one of my favorite 2nd round guys. He’s such a fluid mover at 7 foot in shoes with guard-like dribbling and passing feel. His length makes him a great defensive rebounder which leads to him being a transition monster. Such a versatile piece.
Well deserved!! @walley_mike2
We are excited to announce the promotion of @walley_mike2 to Assistant Coach, a well-deserved opportunity earned through three years of selfless work as the director of operations.

We've agreed to terms with Nico Hischier on a five-year contract extension, beginning in the 2027-28 season.

Hannes Steinbach is a role player that I’m way higher than consensus on. He provides the exceptionally rare combination of dominant rebounding (95th %tile OReb%) paired with stretch 5 capabilities (76% FT% and 34% 3P%). This could be a unicorn role player.
A second action isn’t valuable just because it’s good, it’s valuable if it fits. Here are the best and worst supporting cast play type pairings by positional hub in CBB. 🧵

Takeaways: Transition is the key as it’s the partner in the top 3 combos. Strongest fits in the whole chart. Avoid having a cast that doubles up on interior actions.
