Would have loved to have seen Traore here in Australia, but with how he's played in France for Saint Quentin, this is probably the right call.

Thought Traore, Edgecombe and Harper were the three best guards I saw for the 2025 NBA Draft at Hoop Summit.

Also will say: I'm on track to watch way more than 20 WNBA games this year because the league is on fire. Clark, Brink, Cardoso are all awesome as rookies. Thomas/Bonner are killing for Connecticut. A'ja is wrecking everyone.

Every game I've watched has been interesting.

I'm not a wildly engaged WNBA fan or anything, but I've watched ~20 games per year the last three years.

Immediate standout quality in all WNBA games: these women are COMPETITORS. Their goal is to win. Because there are only 12 teams, EVERY roster spot is a battle. (2/3)

Hey, this went up yesterday afternoon! Talked to Alex Sarr, the potential No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He broke down his own game with tape and explained what makes him so special as a defensive player and discussed the offensive tools that make him so interesting.

Man, coaches should be sending off the most expensive batches of flowers or gift baskets they can find to Monty Williams for resetting the coaches market last year outside of the truly elite tier of coaches.

Hey! In the first of what will be quite a few of these up on the YouTube channel...

Alex Sarr joined me to break down his own tape. Why the 7-foot French big man who played in Perth this year is a real candidate to go No. 1 overall:

Would recommend folks check out this film room interview from Sam Vecenie with Alex Sarr.

Great way to learn more about his game and what he can bring if you haven't had a chance to watch much.

Someone in the first row say something to Luka that locked him in? He's looking over there it feels like after those last couple 3s in the first quarter.

This one is going to go way under the radar, but I’m a believer in Cedric Coward. Think he’s a real nba prospect that keeps getting better every year. Wouldn’t be stunned to see him get more buzz next season

With all of the top European prospects going to college, it’s nice that scouts will now get answers to the important question: “Yeah Luka dominated in Greece vs Olympiacos, but could he do it on a Tuesday in West Lafayette? Could he actually win at the RAC in Piscataway?”

Some fun names to track on NCAA early entry deadline day. Looking forward to see who stays in the draft and what that means. Lot of prospects out there the last few days looking for assurances. Intrigued to see how many got enough to stay in with NIL marketplace being this strong

FWIW, if I was Sam Presti, I would also think this is a good draft. Not drafting at the top, and I actually really like the players in that 8-18 or so range. That’s the part of the draft that I really think is good.

So yeah, totally get him liking this draft.
