@Elizah Huge is having a convo with Andy Larsens right now that is pretty interesting... some changes to the scouting group... sounds like they were split on Cody... and those guys may have been bounced. Kinda interesting.

I just don't think there's any high level archetype that explains why Hardy favors one player or another. If there's one player who has a long leash, there's probably another player who plays just like him who can't get off the bench. The real reasons are probably behind the scenes that we can't see. It also changes quickly and all the time. Ochai, Walker, and Key have all been the golden boy and the on the **** list at different times.

If I'm being honest, I think Hardy did a pretty good job at distributing playing time for development even if some decisions felt weird or unexplainable at the time. I think all our guys got enough playing time, and that's what you should expect from a tanking season. The only decision that really made me uneasy was just how much he loved Key. We don't call him Lisan al Ghaib for no reason. But I think Hardy has corrected that (or ran out of patience) and I'm more comfortable with Key's current standing.

Good post. I don't think Kessler should have ever been in the doghouse though.

Not a shot mechanics expert, but his shot looks smooth and quick

I watched way more of demin than any other player. His shot always looked good. It just didn't go in that much.
I think part of the problem was that he released his shot too late much of the time. He would release the ball on the way down after the peak of his elevation too much.

But to be honest what worried me most was his ball handling. If he is really going to be some huge point guard or point forward then he needs to get way better at dribbling while facing the defense under pressure. He always had to have his back to the defender with an arm out to shield the defender from the ball when he was dribbling.

His passing was great, rebounding and defense was good and I thought he was good at finishing around the rim. He is every inch of his measurements and looks big.

Needs a ton of work on his ball handling and some work on his shooting. I think his shooting will come around eventually.

Nolan Traore and Noah Penda week on Cashiggy. Makes sense since they are both still playing and have had some good games.

Andy Larsen reported Milos Uzan from Houston had a workout with the Utah Jazz last week. Carlos Boozer was amongst people there giving feedback.

Uzan said he shot the ball well and hopes the Jazz are interested.

Utah has the 43rd pick and Uzan is currently ranked 42nd on ESPN.

What I’m hearing about the NBA Draft Combine: Will the Spurs trade or keep No. 2 pick?

Why the Bucks — yes, the Bucks — might have been a draft lottery winner. And how will the Sixers play their cards at No. 3?

Vecenie says he thinks it's more likely that Philly takes VJ or Kon at #3 (right now) if they don't trade down or trade out.

He says he thinks VJ is more well liked in the NBA than Ace as well.

On one hand, I think PHI is a terrible spot for Ace because they will want to win quickly and his mid range game does not mix well at all with Embiid or Morey. On the other hand, forcing him into that situation where he has to be a role player might be good for him. Kind of like Brown and Tatum in Boston.

As they are as prospects right now, I think Kon fits the best.
