All the predraft sites (RIP DraftExpress) said the same thing about Jaren Jackson: he good, but man that shot form is wonked out to heck and back. They didn’t use quite those words, of course, but that was the gist of it. And he bore that out in his first Summer League game: tons of…

Garrett Temple 30 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Sorry, losers. There’s all sorts of rookies and such that had excellent performances tonight, but right now what you get is highlights of Garrett Temple scoring 30. Why? Because screw you, that’s why. I do what I want. And what I want is to showcase one of the most underrated role-players in the league. The…
Read MoreCedi Osman 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
It’s a good thing I didn’t vocalize any of my stupid pessimistic pre-season opinions about Cedi Osman because if I did you guys would dig them up and make me look like a stupid hater idiot. Normally when I hear that such-and-so player has been “in the gym every day” and “talking with LeBron” I’m…
Read MoreNikola Mirotic Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
It is official: DeMarcus Cousins makes every team he touches way worse because he utterly fails to play anything resembling winning basketball. This fact was official before, because anyone with eyes can see that that was the case, but it’s even officialer now. Now that his replacement Nikola Mirotic has contributed 36 efficient points to…
Read MoreJeff Green 17 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
I absolutely wasn’t going to make a video for Jeff Green when I first looked at the box-score. “No way, seventeen is absolutely not enough points for a player of Green’s caliber,” I said to myself while absentmindedly scratching certain “private” areas of my anatomy. Then I woke up this morning literally a changed man….
Read MoreJosh Hart 20 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
I would like to put the false narrative to rest that DTB isn’t up-to-date on all the cool new things that the kids are into these days. I totally know about all those things. Snapchat? Yeah, I know what that is. Twerking? Yep, I twerk all the time. Fortnite? I’ve played it. The thing is,…
Read MoreNik Stauskas Career High 24 Points Trailblazers Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
Much like Summer League Aaron Gordon (SLAG) has become almost deified in my mind, so too has Backyard Unstoppable Nick Stauskas (BUNS). That pre-draft backyard video of him in the rain shooting three-pointers has remained stuck in my mind for half a decade now, standing not only as a testament to BUNS’ literally wet shooting…
Read MoreBobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
One of the best happenings of the 2017-18 was Bobby Portis bragging he was going to get 40 to an opposing bench and then only getting 39. Dang it, Bobby, you know that only superstar players are allowed to make proclamations like that. Otherwise you’re just begging to be made a fool of. As far…
Read MoreAntonio Blakeney 15 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
Antonio Blakeney only knows how to play one way: the chucker way. He was one of the G-League’s premiere chuckers last season, and he continued that trend (to a slightly lesser degree) whenever he got the call up the NBA. As everyone knows, the pendulum in recent times has swung away from iso-chucking madness and…
Read MoreJosh Richardson 28 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2018)
I sort of lost track of who was getting offered by the Heat to the Timberwolves for Jimmy Butler. Or, instead of who the Heat were offering, who the Timberwolves were demanding. I know Thibs wanted Josh Richardson. Were the Heat willing to part with him? I don’t think they were. By all accounts, he…
