Add Nuggets, Wolves To Conference Semifinals Lore

This has been an instant classic series without an instant classic game. It has seemingly been over twice and now we get to watch two superduperstars on supremely well-constructed teams in a Game 7.

NBA Draft Report: Kel'el Ware Of Indiana

by Zachary Cohen

Kel'el Ware has stretch center potential, while also possessing a floor as a playable rim-runner, which says a lot about him as a prospect.

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

The most underrated freshman in the 2024 draft class?

6'6", 225 lbs with a 7'0" wingspan and jumps out of the gym. Can handle the ball, good defender, good passer - unselfish, looks for his teammates but capable of. going off on a scoring run at any time.

Think he's under the radar cause he's from Guinea and played for a prep school team in Canada.

Damon Stoudemire scooped him up for Georgia Tech once he took the job.

Only downside I can see with Sacko is:

a) He's old for a freshman (turned 20 in August) so he is slightly older than Brandon Miller was as a freshman. But then again, Miller was the 2nd pick in the draft and other guys like Keegan Murray got drafted top 5 at age 20 or older.

b) There's plenty of film on youtube of his prep school team's games from last season but it's tricky to find film of him going against elite competition - like teams with other draft prospects. Then again, that was kind of the case for Brandon Milller before be played at Alabama too.
