T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren’s three-point shooting, which seemed improved after his rookie year, has un-improved; he’s only shooting 23% from deep this year. Knowing that he can’t make those shots right now, he hasn’t taken any three-pointers in his last two games. Assuming that the three-ball is never going to be a huge part of…

Tyler Ennis 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
If you don’t consider D’Angelo Russell a point guard (I don’t know if I do or not…more research is required), then Tyler “The Creator” Ennis is the only true point guard on the Lakers’ roster. Jose Calderon is long gone, and now plays in Atlanta. Marcelo Huertas is also long gone, having been the one…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 13 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
OFFICIAL THINGS THAT DESTROYED DONATAS MOTIEJUNAS’ CAREER POWER RANKINGS: 1. Contract impasse with Rockets that resulted in D-Mo becoming a free agent after turning down a $30 million offer 2. Pistons fabricating a failed physical because they got cold feet when they traded for D-Mo 3. Pelicans trading for DeMarcus Cousins 4. Too many donuts…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 17 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
It is human nature to try to compare things that are visually similar, even if their true characteristics are vastly different. So it’s not really my fault what I say next. Taurean Prince is a lot like Tony Snell. I tasked myself with formulating an NBA comparison for Prince and that’s all I could come…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 24 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
It might seem prudent to blame Dënniß ßchrööder for the Hawks’ seven game losing streak. With Millsap out, he is their most important player for better or for worse (poor Dwight), and we can’t blame Millsap for having mysterious undisclosed injuries. Especially after last night’s disappointing loss to the last-place Nets, it’s easy to say…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
Some guy with too much time on his hands was able to tell us that Marvin Williams has more years of NBA experience than the entire starting lineup that the Suns fielded against his Hornets. This is W-Marv’s twelfth year in the league, and the math checks out: Ulis (1) + Chriss (1) + Warren…
Read MoreTyler Ulis 16 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
Tyler Ulis is pretty much putting up stats by default at this point. As everyone knows by now, the Suns don’t have another active PG, so Ulis gets to do whatever he wants. And what he wants is to take a lot of shots and make a lot of passes. Just what a modern-day PG…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 23 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
In terms of straight-up getting buckets, Enes Kanter is one of the very best in the league. The 9 people above him in buckets per minute are all considered elite offensive players, except for JaVale McGee and Josh Huestis (sample sizes FTW). Since you’re watching this video, you probably already know this, and you’re sitting…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/26/2017)
Trevor Ariza is in the top 10 for three-point attempts again this year. That’s three years in a row now, so we can’t blame D’Antoni for this apparent oddity. An oddity until you notice that he was THIRD in that category two years ago. Somehow it escaped my notice that during the 2014-15 season, the…
