After a 29-point outburst in the immediate aftermath of the DeMarcus Cousins trade, Willie Cauley-Stein has been somewhat quiet. He’s had some decent games, but nothing that makes you say to yourself “I’m currently observing the center of the future for the Kings”. Not until this game. Twenty points and thirteen rebounds will definitely make…

Yogi Ferrell 17 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
The Mavericks are clearly emboldened by their success in finding Yogi Ferrell. They’re cycling through D-Leaguers so fast that I’m starting to lose track of which 10-dayers are actually on their team and which are long gone. I guess that’s the right strategy, because for every Yogi you have 10 Ben Bentils. Gotta maintain as…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 26 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
Dënniß ßchrööder is getting to be a darn good player. The Hawks kicked Jeff Teague to the curb so that they could start The Schredder, and it’s paying off. Atlanta is still somehow a playoff team, and their main ball-handling professional is averaging 18 and 6 while beefing with Isaiah Thomas. That might seem secondary…
Read MoreCory Joseph 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
Whoops, these highlights ended up kind of crappy. Nothing wrong with them technically, it’s just that all the assists were lame and the scoring was only decent. Never underestimate the detrimental effect lame assists can have on a video. There’s a reason some highlight-makers don’t include them, even if they include the cooler ones. Worst…
Read MoreIsaiah Whitehead Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
Isaiah Whitehead has not been very good this year. Advanced stats, in particular, paint a very bad picture of him. I don’t think he’s as bad as those things say, but he hasn’t made the absolute most out of his (plentiful) minutes. He is managing to keep his head above water, though, not looking as…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
I keep seeing that Nikola Jokic was out with an illness, but no one is telling me what that illness IS. Was he almost dead? There are lots of different kinds of illnesses with lots of different effects. Was it a “it’s coming out of both ends and it won’t stop” deal or a “I’m…
Read MoreChristian Wood 14 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
It’s been a while (a year and four months), but Christian “Hard” Wood is finally making his long-awaited return to my channel! I knew, back when he scored 15 for the 76ers back in November of 2015, that a talent of his magnitude would not be able to be held down forever. True fans of…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 20 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2017)
It is totally time for the Magic to tank, if they haven’t started already. I want to see a Gordon-Zimmerman-Hezonja-Rudez-Biyombo lineup out there next game so that I can know that the Magic are totally committed to losing games. Take the fall for Lonzo Ball. Pro-tip: Aaron Gordon is the PG in that lineup. Bigs…
Read MoreAlan Williams 16 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
Can Alan Williams even dunk? Unlike his major competitor for minutes, Marquese Chriss, Williams plays like he has the hops of a nursing home resident. Basketball-reference alleges that he has indeed dunked it twice this year, which seems exceedingly low for a power forward. I bet Tyler Ulis has more dunks than him. More investigation…
Read MoreMarquese Chriss 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
Does Marquese “Markweezy” Chriss have any kind of in-between game at all? I know it’s a lot to ask for a rookie to be well-rounded in all areas of scoring, but I don’t remember him ever taking much less making a midrange jumpshot, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him post up or attempt…
