I feel like future myself wrote that article, lol. I loved it because a lot of the conclusions were thoughts I've had or were working towards. So in a way I feel self agrandizing by liking this article.I saw this article making the rounds today. It talks about the different ways you can find an "edge" in the the draft. It cites a 10 year old Jazzfanz post made by @idiot 10 years ago where he interviews the OG Layne "VJL" Vashro who proceeds to give great insight and takes on prospects that did not age well at all lol.
The reality is that the draft is probably just random enough it's almost impossible to be "good" at it. If you take yourself too seriously then you'll be stressed for nothing.
You think 2/10 off ball defenders can hide in the NBA playoffs? In many ways, on ball defense is the easiest part of defense. It takes the least amount of thinking. Guys like Kuminga, Green, and Mathurin aren't struggling to play because they can't guard a guys 1v1. It's because they aren't smart enough to make the right decisions defense.
Off ball defense is more important across the board in 2025 whether you're talking about good or bad defenders. Off ball defense was hardly a thing at all in 2014. You could stand around and do nothing. Of course it is going to be more important in 2025 when the offenses are more advanced, spread out, and talented. It's all about covering space, covering for your teammates, disrupting the passing lanes, and recovering.
These are the foundations of the way I think today. At least when I'm wrong, I can point to this and blame it on all these concepts
It was a trip to see a Jazzfanz post from 2015 cited!
Why is anyone looking at a 10-year old Jazzfanz post for insight on drafting/ranking philosophy?I saw this article making the rounds today.

Funny -- I think draft confidence has a way of biting people in the long run.interviews the OG Layne "VJL" Vashro who proceeds to give great insight and takes on prospects that did not age well at all lol.
The thing we need most in trying to figure out who is a good evaluator (or what traits are most valuable) is some kind of systematic tracking over time of people's takes, but that's exactly what we almost never see.
Big respect for looking all the way to the footnotes to find this.

The transition euro gallop (not sure what to call it exactly) is why I think Beringer has some sneaky upside outside of just being a meat and potatoes rim runner.

By the time you can really know how good a player is, nobody cares about takes from that long ago. So what you end up with is the greatest hits and misses from an evaluator that are obvious much sooner, but might not be that representative of their evaluations as a whole.
Condon going back to Florida as expected. Is there anywhere that has a full list of early entrants that are returning to college? The deadline is today at noon.
Chineylu out of Florida has a 7'7.75'' wingspan. Yeesh. He's returning to school, but damn, didnt realize he was that long.
