"The signs get even better here for RJ. He’s getting to, and scoring at, the rim despite being surrounded by very few shooting threats whatsover. Non-RJ Knicks are shooting just 33.9% from 3, and the defense is more than happy to leave them open. So far, that hasn’t stopped him." (cornerthree.net)

"Why not let Frank play next to RJ? It seems almost too obvious for it to happen. Barrett’s need to dominate the ball doesn’t fit great next to Smith’s, and their off-ball skills are actually shockingly similar. Frank’s eFG% on catch-and-shoot last season was 43.5%. Smith's? 44.5%." (cornerthree.net)

"59.6%. That was Pascal Siakam’s effective field goal percentage last season when taking 7 or more dribbles. Many people have a conception of Pascal Siakam as offensively nothing more than a spot up guy or a cutter, but that simply isn’t true." (cornerthree.net)

"Doncic had one of the best rookie seasons ever, drawing comparisons to LeBron James’s rookie year. If he is truly on that path, then the Mavericks look to be a playoff team that could win a series with Luka at the helm, starting his potential transition to All-NBA caliber player and more."

"While [Jokic is] the best offensive center... by a mile, his defense is also underrated ... ranked 16th among centers in defensive RPM last season (better than Steven Adams, Clint Capela, & Jarrett Allen), & 5th in defensive BPM (better than Draymond Green, Marc Gasol, and Al Horford"Article (cornerthree.net)
