Magic fans are always complaining that Elfrid Payton doesn’t have a jumper, but he’s shooting acceptable percentages from both midrange and beyond the arc, albeit on a limited number of attempts. There are a lot of alleged “shooters” who have worse shooting percentage than his. He might pass up open looks because he’s not overly…

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
This video contains a rare treat for diehard Rondae Hollis-Jefferson fans (to go with the nothing for dieheard Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson fans, but I promise I’ll start making his D-League highlights real soon): two whole three-pointers! Wow! His 10th and 11th of the season, and I’m gonna be honest, they looked really horrible. But they went…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 13 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
Luke Kennard finds ways to get his shot off. It’s a stereotype for people with his melanin levels, but he’s “crafty”. If he just tried shooting it inside the paint without doing a move or five first, it would never work. His release is too low, and he can’t jump high enough to make up…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 22 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
I don’t even blame the Detroit Pistons for giving up on Spencer Dinwiddie. I wouldn’t even call it “giving up”; Dinwiddie didn’t look like anything special during his time in Detroit, and that’s being charitable. There was no one on this earth who could’ve predicted the sudden and sharp ascent of Din-Dins in Brooklyn. Even…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 18 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
I knew, when he started the season off with an 0-of-13 performance, that Stanley Johnson was going to be in for a long year. Things just aren’t getting better for him; he’s the same player he was his rookie season minus some confidence and plus a starting gig (at least until recently). He’s still a…
Read MoreJulius Randle 27 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
Lakers fans seem to be ready to move on from Julius Randle. Obviously not all of them are, but I don’t get the sense that he’s especially beloved. Is it because he has small hands? It must be, or something like that, because he is putting up some decent stats and looks pretty good in…
Read MoreAlex Caruso 9 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
I felt really bad for Alex “Bald Mamba” Caruso when he got roasted for his follicular inferiority on national TV by three dumbasses and Shaq. Whose idea was it to put the crew of Inside the NBA on to actually commentate a game? That was basically the worst garbage ever. They’re good when they’re on…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 29 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
The Lakers need to strike while the iron is hot. Jordan Clarkson’s trade value is at a season-high. Yeah, there’s a chance that he keeps up his blistering pace from his last two games and pushes it even higher, but there’s an even greater chance that he goes back to being the same old Clarkson…
