Anthony Felesi Film Deepdive - Oklahoma State’s Jack-of-All-Trades (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of my favorite prospect archetypes is the malleable athlete, a player who has all the physical gifts necessary to succeed at the highest levels of the sport while also being primed for future development. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are bringing in a few of these players this year, several of whom belong to the program’s incoming freshman class. In my opinion, the star of their freshman crop is fringe five-star recruit Anthony Felesi, who’s coming off an excellent senior season at Utah Prep t
Oregon Roster Breakdown: The Biggest Question Mark in the Big Ten (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There may not be a stranger roster in the country than the Oregon Ducks, as every player on the roster is capable of contributing to a high major program, but there’s no one who’s proven to be elite at this level. The roster features a handful of former blue-chip recruits who are still looking to find their footing in the college game, and one has to think that somebody is going to break out before season’s end. This is a team that, even if they’re not very good this year, I’ll be tuning in to w
Scouting Notes: Caleb Holt, Caleb Gaskins, Ethan Taylor, & Luke Ertel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So far this Summer, I’ve written long form scouting reports on four of the nation’s top incoming freshmen: Caleb Holt (Arizona), Caleb Gaskins (Miami), Ethan Taylor (Michigan State), and Luke Ertel (Purdue). To prepare for those articles, I watched and took notes on ten to fifteen games for each player, eventually supporting those observations with statistics to paint a clear picture of not only how those prospects performed at the prep level, but also what they may look like during their debut
Way-Too-Early 2027 NBA Draft Big Board: Full Top 60 Prospects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been writing about the NBA Draft since 2021, and the idea of a “Way-Too-Early” big board has never appealed to me. It has always seemed silly to rank players an entire year before the draft, even if most of those players end up being draftees. However, because I feel like I have a good grasp of this upcoming class, and because I’m interested in seeing not only my opinions develop throughout the year, but also how players perform relative to my personal expectations, I figured I’d throw one
Summer League Standouts - Five Players Fighting for Their NBA Careers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of my favorite archetypes of Summer League prospects are the older, multi-year players who are still fighting for a spot in the league. Often times, these players perform significantly better than their peers, not only because they’re more experienced, but also because they feel the pressure like nobody else on the court. Despite this, they consistently find themselves sidelined so that organizations can get a better look at their recently selected rookies or still-developing sophomores. Thi
