I don’t want to make anybody mad (actually I sort of do in a perverse way), but is Kyle Kuzma a better rookie than Lonzo Ball? One is averaging 19/7/2 per 36 on 53% shooting, and the other is averaging 11/7/7 per 36 on 33% shooting. Being a highly-drafted point guard might be more difficult…

De’Aaron Fox 18 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2017)
The Kings’ roster is a “raw young talent”-lover’s wet dream this season. Aside from Zach Randolph and George Hill who we can just pretend don’t exist, and Garrett Temple, who everyone already pretends doesn’t exist, there’s nothing but intriguing players ranging in quality from sub-scrub to high-end role-player. Teams composed like this never do well,…

I’m not really a big supporter of the whole “inundate addiction-prone kids with tons of candy and sugar” aspect of Halloween. I don’t usually have principles, but these are kids we’re talking about here. They don’t even know how bad those mass-produced pseudo-chocolate sugar bombs are for them. So it’s up to responsible adults to…

What’s up with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson this year? I ragged on him so much for his janky-ass offensive game last season, and he hasn’t really changed it, but it’s working so much better now. Those god-awful short midrange jumpers that are garbage? They’re going in. I can’t believe it. Is this sustainable? He had a single-handed…
Read MoreDragan Bender 10 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2017)
10 points is the same amount that Dragan Bender scored in his first game ever with the Suns. It is now a little over a year later, and he has not shown that he can score very much more than that. 13 might be his career-high? It takes only one little YouTube search to find…
Read MoreMike James 24 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2017)
Mike James has been in a little bit of a slumpy-wump lately. That is not totally unexpected; there is not a player out there who doesn’t go through some rough patches in their first season, much less a rookie who unexpectedly seized playing time from the treads of a tank. Growing pains are expected with…
