🚨New words🚨 The evolution and diversity of the center position continues to fascinate me. The 2027 NBA Draft could heavily feature some fascinating big men from this year's freshmen class, almost all of whom play vastly different styles. open.substack.com/pub/noceilin...

Size That Scares Me

The 2027 NBA Draft could be littered with big men who bring vastly different skills to the table. There's a lot of scary (in the best way) upside and talent that could make a huge impact this year.

🚨New words🚨 Allen Graves has been a breakout star with Santa Clara this season posting some ludicrous numbers. Despite the easy sales pitch, there's still a lot of questions with his game. I broke down his confusing but intriguing eval. open.substack.com/pub/noceilin...

Watch Braylon Mullins's fundamentals and footwork with his on-ball DEF here. Does a great job of sliding his feet, staying in a low defensive stance, and playing with physicality to cut off drives.

This is an awesome possession by Braylon Mullins showing how he plays with his head up. Off the first OREB he does a great job of passing through traffic to find Karaban on the cut. Then on the next one he has the wherewithal to tip the OREB to Karaban for the easy layup.
