Announcement: I have started a Youtube channel called 'Xs and Joe's Basketball'. My first video is live, on the Utah Jazz' brilliant offensive scheme and Lauri Markkanen's All-Star level play within the scheme. youtube.com/watch?v=OUtyuQNN…

New Play was run again, camouflaged
-Pistol + Knicks Screen, Shallow Cut takes away tag man, leaving Amen at the rim
-camouflaged by hiding set-up man Jabari in the corner, w/ghost screener initiating
-Ghost becomes swing passer in Knicks, then shallow cuts to take tag man

Keyonte is using this increased on-ball usage to create for his teammates at a greater level than he ever has.
His 41.9 AST% is by far the highest of his career and it’s been accompanied by the same usage as last season.
It’s been a clear process change with more offensive talent around him.
He’s top ten in the league in potential assist per touch among qualified players⬇️

Mike Macdonald & Seattle D in last 2 games vs 2 GOAT offensive masterminds:
Sean Payton: fewest yds/play (2.9) in HC career (319 games)
Andy Reid: Only game of HC career (488 games) with 0 explosive plays (10-yd run or 20-yd rec)
Portland's offensive design was just a lot better last night, but Phoenix's POA defense was really rough too. Portland did a lot of clearing out empty sides and messing with tag responsibilities which the Wolves also did with Nori, who was integral in designing their schemes.
Thought Donovan Clingan looked good at the elbow in yesterdays game. Portland's better spacing and skill seemed to benefit him. Obviously, the ceiling of this will hinge on how often he can score from inside. Suns aggressive gameplan benefitted him/Portland a lot.
More Tyrin Jones hype.
DMX Model All-Americans
@thebigwafe's model has predicted the meteoric rise of Yaxel Lendeborg, Tyler Tanner, Jaime Jaquez, and many other notable draft picks in past years.
Who are the best draft prospects not currently on consensus boards?

Really nice catch prep from Brayden Burries on this attempt. Looks as if he's going to stampede the catch then rejects it and hits a sidestep 3. He's looked so fluid thus far.

my favorite actions from every team on opening day
Pistons: Away 45 Curl
Sixers: Flat Triangle Double Cross Screen
Spurs: Horns Iverson Cut -> Spread PNR -> Pin-In/Exit
Thunder: Pistol Rip
Celtics: Wide Flare
Knicks: Delay 45
Jazz offense was really rough that half. Ran some flare screens early and had 1 or 2 spain plays with Lauri as the backscreener but there was very little second action. A lot of really bad possessions where Keyonte or Lauri had to put something up.
Feel like a lot of the Fangio disciples end up just not being very good. Hurtt in Seattle, Donatell in Minnesota, Barry in Green Bay etc.
Teams are now converting 50% of 3rd and 9+ attempts against the Cowboys this season.
League average is 21.8%

No tweet has affected my evaluation paradigms as much as this. So I wrote an article about:
1. My definition of cognition
2. Linking “OAS” theory to cognition
3. Why the cognition found in OAS drives outlier development
