Denzel Valentine is shooting almost 40% from the three-point line, but I don’t feel like there’s much buzz around him being a “good” three-point shooter. Maybe it’s because we’re living in an era where a player can conceivably shoot 45% from three on high volume, or maybe it’s because Denzel has yet to have a…

Kris Dunn 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Kris “The Dunnwich Horror” Dunn is playing so well right now that it’s easy to forget that he actually played like total garbage his rookie year, even though he had a long college career and was supposed to come into the league further along in his development than his draftmates. Every time I watch him…
Read MoreTobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Yes. This is what DownToBuck wants. Tobias Harris being assertive and making sure everybody knows that he is the main option on the Pistons. Not Reggie Jackson. Not Andre Drummond. Definitely not Avery Bradley. It’s Tobes. Tobes is the main option. When he steps on the court, it should be “Tobes Time” and there should…
Read MoreE’Twaun Moore 23 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
OFFICIAL GUARDS WHO PLAY MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES PER GAME SORTED BY FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE POWER RANKINGS 1. JaKarr Sampson (59.1%) [what the hell, I guess I should have put a game restriction on this list since he’s only played in six of them] 2. E’Twaun Moore (54.6%) [I honestly thought he would be first,…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 21 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
A Paul Millsap trade has gotta be in the works, right? I’m trying not to overreact to Trey Lyles’ emergence as a potent scoring force at the power forward position, but I can’t really stop myself once I get going. The thing is, Millsap’s on the wrong side of thirty (32 to be exact), he’s…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 11 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
When I first caught a glimpse of De’Aaron Fox in this game, I didn’t quite realize who I was looking at. What happened to his big poofy hair thing? Wait, don’t answer that. I know what happened to the poofy hair thing: it got turned into braids. Braids parted down the middle. I’m not going…
Read MoreJeff Green 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Jeff Green points last night: 22. Cavaliers starters’ points last night: 28. Now, I’m definitely not trying to insinuate in any way that Jeff Green is better than the totality of the Cavs’ starting unit, which includes All-Star caliber players like Kevin Lovestomissshots, LeBrick “LeBenched Blames” Shames, and Isaiah ThomAss. Jeff Green might be having…
Read MoreC.J. Williams 15 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
I want to make some comparisons here to Sundiata Gaines’ immortal game-winner, but it just doesn’t seem right. This shot by C.J. Williams was great, but Gaines’ was over the top. Nationally televised against LeBron James at the buzzer on a broken play fading out of bounds? If I saw that in a movie I…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Willie Cauley-Stein is attempting to expand his game. That’s good! There will never be a better time than right now to experiment with being a Jokic-esque all-around bigman. His shooting percentages are way down because of this new freedom, but his assist percentages are way up, so I’ll call it even. The Kings are going…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Jarrett Allen put on a slam-dunking festival (colloquially known as a “dunkfest”) tonight against the Raptors. He’s working on other parts of his offensive game, but that’s the one that’s getting him the most mileage: just slamming it through the rim with two hands or one hand but not usually zero hands. His proclivity for…
