https://youtu.be/A57-EPD__9M This is Edmond Sumner’s fourth year in the league. That’s crazy because, as of this writing, Sumner has not played a full season’s worth of games in the NBA. This game was appearance #75 for him. Usually, a player who is that deep on the bench is not going to last for four years….

Shake Milton 26 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/noYYmz2gNN4 One of the greatest injustices in the world today is the fact that there is not a Steak ‘n Shake fast food restaurant anywhere near me. You might think this unfortunate fact is utterly irrelevant to the topic at hand, but Steak ‘n Shake, of course, is the restaurant that Shake Milton was named…
Read MoreNicolas Claxton 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/kPRj3SF28hA I predict that 90% of the discouse on the internet related to Nicolas Claxton is centered around his choice of hairstyle. That’s a conservative estimate, and I’m not helping matters by penning this particular slab of Claxton-related discourse, but it’s understandable. I mean, Claxton’s hair looks like a bowl of pasta. How could you…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 20 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2021)
https://youtu.be/h-oOLHUJP8k Remember when Justise Winslow was LeBron 0.5 for the Heat, sharing the court with the Dragic/Wade/Waiters/Whiteside core? That particular iteration of the Heat seems like it belongs to an entirely different era, but it was actually only two years ago. During the 2018-19 season, it really seemed like Winslow was going to be a…
Read MoreP.J. Washington Career High 42 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2021)
https://youtu.be/RWjJBPgIGLI P.J. Washington turned over comfortably in his bed, searching out a cool spot on his pillow. Not finding one, he briefly opened his eyes so that he could flip the pillow over, thereby accessing an entire untouched expanse of coolness for his head to rest upon. When his eyes opened, they were dazzled by…
Read MoreDarius Bazley 22 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2021)
https://youtu.be/ibxjAJj6qtA While desperately sifting through basketball-reference’s treasure trove of stats, searching for any scrap of statistical insight that I could use as a seed to germinate a full-length video description, I found out this marginally interesting fact about Darius Bazley: He is 21st in the league in total rebounds this season. He’s got two more…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 17 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2021)
https://youtu.be/hwuFVHBjE7I I’m struggling to come up with a white-guy trio that has much chemistry as the Pacers’ white-guy trio of T.J. McConnell (6 PPG), Doug McDermott (13 PPG), and Domantas Sabonis (21 PPG). There are three-man squads of white guys in the league, but they’re not really “trios” with “chemistry”. For example, Tyler Herro, Duncan…
Read MoreDarius Garland Career High 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2021)
https://youtu.be/gDzKLicMP84 Darius Garland and Collin Sexton, a duo lovingly termed “Sexland” (tbh not a very creative nickname, they definitely did not consult world-renowned nickname master DownToBuck on this one), combined to shoot a chuckerific 20 of 51 from the field in this game. Sexton was 11 of 27 for 28 points, fine, whatever, and Garland…
Read MoreDennis Smith Jr. 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2021)
https://youtu.be/f4xwaqebyuI The “Dennis Smith Jr. Will Be An All-Star” ship has sailed, right? That ship sailed right out into the open seas with nobody on it except the corpse of a dude named “Captain Stumpy” and a bunch of ship cats. Nobody is holding out hope that DSJ will morph into a star-level player. Right…
Read MoreTheo Maledon 13 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2021)
https://youtu.be/NNHMmRur-Jo For reference: it took Tony Parker 84 games before he had a 12-assist game. Theo Maledon? Only 28. John Stockton? 16. You know, I thought I was being really clever there with Stockton. I know he had a bit of a slow start to his career, so my plan was to impress everybody with…
