Happy NBA RS Day! To celebrate, I refurbished 3 of my unreleased pre-draft player profiles and dropped them on my blog, explaining my view on each player entering draft night. Words on Boozer’s dominance, Hannes’ underrated passing, and Swain’s overvalued creation. Links 🧵 ⬇️

While Dailyn Swain produced one of the greatest wing-creation seasons in NCAA history, his finishing and turnover issues with the ball, low activity off the ball, and tweener measurements at the combine raise questions about his NBA position/role. neuralnets.blog/player-profi…

I like Daron Holmes even though there's more competition for postion in Denver. So I'd bet some team will take a cheap flyer on his tools. Dribble/Pass/Screen(with continuity) (below clips shows up his those traits)

Hello everyone, with a heavy heart I wanted to share that my dad has been dealing with stage 3 pancreatic cancer for the last few months. As time has gone on, insurance has been unhelpful and as treatment has continued, our financial burden has grown to higher levels as well. Not asking for much as any help would be wonderfully appreciated. The link to his GoFundMe is below ❤️ gofund.me/999f49283
