Rookie

Marquesse Chriss is going to be one of those rookies from this class who will be forgotten about this season (unless you watch the Sportscenter Top 10 plays on a nightly basis). He is a player who falls in and out of regular playing time for a young Suns team that is not bad enough [...]

Beats By Dre has added a lot of star power to its latest commercial, including Ben Simmons. The 76ers rookie shows off his dribbling skills around the 20 second mark of the commercial. The new “Got No Strings” ad spot also features the likes of DJ Khaled, Travis Scott, Karlie Kloss, Michael Phelps, Nicki Minaj, [...]

Camp hasn’t even opened up yet, but you already get the feeling in Philly that Ben Simmons will be asked to do a whole lot for the Sixers right out the gate. Based on what he showed in Summer League, he’s going to be a huge asset and will present matchup problems for the opposition. [...]

All-everything rookie for the Lakers, Brandon Ingram, seems like the real deal. On offense, his closest NBA resemblance is Kevin Durant, and should give defenses matchup nightmares for years to come. His length, versatility and ball handling skills should make him out to the best Lakers draft pick in recent years. But will he start [...]

Brandon Ingram has drawn comparisons to, and praise from, NBA demigod Kevin Durant. He, at times, has the look and feel of a younger Paul George. This is to say, he’s a multiposition wing who should be able to dominate both ends of the floor in due time. Don’t take just anyone’s word for it, [...]

Congratulations, Los Angeles Lakers fans. Even though Kevin Durant wouldn’t meet with your team during free agency, he is still really, really, ridiculously high on your newest franchise savior, Brandon Ingram. Here’s the catch: He is high on Ingram insofar as he was high on himself as a teenager, per Serena Winters of Lakers Nation: [...]

It should be clear to anybody not too wrapped up in the Porzingis mania that Karl-Anthony Towns is living up to his billing as the number one draft pick. He is easily the best rookie in the NBA this season. Through 48 games Towns is averaging 16.6 points, 9.9 rebounds 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists [...]

With the kind of run Steph Curry has been on, it’s not surprising that he has the NBA’s top selling jersey. He’s young and trendy among kids. LeBron James is now the old man that everyone’s used to, so it makes sense that he trails Curry in jersey sales. And Kobe? Well, he’s the ageless [...]

March 14, 2012 – Allen Moll Many have been quick to criticize Michael Jordan as a General Manager and owner of an NBA franchise. To be honest, I don’t blame them, especially considering the fact he was the one responsible for the Wizards drafting Kwame Brown straight out of HS with the #1 overall pick [...]

November 17, 2011 – Allen Moll Many thought that Jeremy Tyler, the former #1 rated high school player, made a horrible decision in 2009 to forego his senior HS season and spurn the University of Lousiville to play professionally in Europe. After all, only current Milwaukee Bucks PG Brandon Jennings had succeeded in skipping college [...]
