- According to relative Offensive Rating, the 2024-25 Cleveland Cavaliers have the best offense in NBA history.
- With De'Aaron Fox now on the Spurs, Malik Monk is now the Kings' starting point guard. In some ways, that may be an upgrade for Sacramento, as Monk has been a sneakily better passer over the last few seasons.
- Kel'el Ware is the rare rim-running center who can also take and make 3-pointers. He's going to be a very special player.
- Halfcourt offense is important to isolate because, in the playoffs, the game slows down, and transition points are harder to come by. Here are the top 10 halfcourt offenses since March 5:
- Ryan Rollins has been one of the best stories in the league this season. A second round pick who struggled in his first couple of years due to injuries and inconsistent minutes has now found his footing as a two-way guard. He's in the 95th %tile in DEF EPM this season.
- Zach LaVine has always been an excellent creator off of handoffs and the kings lead the NBA in handoff frequency. The Bulls this season are 28th in handoff frequency Expecting a ton of easy buckets for Zach off of Sabonis dribble handoffs
00:00 - Here's Victor Wembanyama forcing 4 turnovers in 2 minutes, with only 1 of them showing up in the box score for him
00:00 - The Kings rank 28th in 3-point accuracy and 23rd in frequency this season. Zach LaVine will add much needed shooting diversity to Doug Christie's offense. LaVine is shooting above 44% on both catch and shoot and pull-up threes this season!
00:00 - Rui Hachimura is a ridiculously good cutter. Among 73 players to log at least 50 cuts this season, his 1.64 points per possession ranks 1st. He does masterful work roaming the baseline.
00:00 - The Minnesota Lynx have the most expensive average ticket prices in the WNBA at $108.86 -- 130% more than the WNBA average and 53% more than the next-highest team. The Mystics are next on the list with an average home ticket of $71. sportscasting.com/news/wnba-tick…
- Collin Murray-Boyles is a funky player and analytics darling whose NBA outlook is polarizing. Can he thrive in the league? @LucasKaplan_ takes a look at the newest member of the Raptors' young core and projects how he'll translate:
- Scoot Henderson has taken a notable leap this season, headlined by averaging 17-6-4-1 on 66% TS over his past 13 games. On the year, his TS% is 6.7 points better, he’s shooting 4.2% better from 3 and 6.4% better from 2. His EPM is 3.3 points better. The tape backs all this up.
00:00 - Today's NBA is the best the game has ever been. Despite that, ESPN's coverage is a constant disservice to the sport. It must change, writes @matissa15.
