The 2026 NBA Draft is shaping up to be one for the history books, and right now, the biggest question on everyone’s mind is: Who is the No. 1 overall pick this year? Almost every prospect in the top 5-10 projects as a long-term NBA contributor, with legitimate star potential. That’s rare in the modern…
Another day, another court case for the NCAA—and yet another loss. The understanding of eligibility continues to get muddier by the minute. We’re now seeing players with professional experience attempting to hijack the system just to cash in on NIL deals. That’s all it is: a blatant money grab. The attorneys representing these players don’t…
Does Home Field Advantage Truly Matter? I love this topic and consider it extremely relevant, as we are in full playoff mode for Football and soon March Madness, NBA, and NHL. In my opinion, there is nothing that matters more than playing at home in the playoffs. It is one of the only incentives left…
A basketball jump shot shares striking similarities with a golf swing—both demand precision, yet they thrive on individual variability rather than rigid uniformity. Consider this: while a golf swing appears as one of the most mechanized actions in sports, involving intricate coordination of the mind and body, its success hinges not on perfect replication but…
In the world of basketball, it’s easy to get caught up in the grind of quantity over quality. I once believed that was the golden ticket to success—pour in the hours on skills, and improvement would follow like clockwork. And sure, that approach carries you far, especially in your early years. But when I stepped…
The NCAA was once hailed as the premier destination for amateurs to thrive as student-athletes, balancing rigorous academic demands with the pure joy of competing in a sport they loved for its own sake. Fast-forward to today, and it has morphed into something even more insidious than the cartel many analysts decry: a near-monopoly on…
As someone from New England, I’ve always felt there’s a unique vibe surrounding prep school basketball here. The New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) stands as one of the nation’s most renowned interscholastic leagues, encompassing prestigious high schools across Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Yet, amid this elite landscape, one institution reigns…
As a point guard, there is nothing better than setting your teammates up for a high-quality shot. I love watching a good pass over some of the other highlights we see nowadays. One might think that three-point shooting should increase the number of assists per game. That is mostly true nowadays due to the pace…
There is a form of basketball that may be the last of its kind. I may be a little biased as I am a Division III hooper myself, but I think the jury is clear: college basketball just isn’t the same anymore. However, there is hope at the lower levels. Division III basketball stands apart…
Like many fans and analysts, I entered the 2025-26 NBA season with concerns about Jaylen Brown’s ability to step up as the Boston Celtics’ true No. 1 option—especially given his lucrative supermax contract extension. Yet, the All-Star wing has emphatically dispelled those concerns, delivering career-best performances and embarking on a blistering hot streak that’s cementing…
Christmas is one of the best times of year, not only for the holiday, but also a great opportunity to break down more hoops! I have been receiving great feedback, especially on word choice (I will try to dumb it down for you, Uncle Bill)…. I want to break down a few advanced analytics that…
Yesterday, I shared my top 10 draft prospects for the 2026 NBA Draft. I know it’s a bit early, but with the new year approaching, there’s no better time to reflect on what these talented prospects have accomplished over the past year. Here’s my full draft board. Today I want to cover a few of…
