LG Hoops Rookie Favorites
We’ve been able to get a good glimpse at all of the rookies this year and we’re starting to see some potential career arch comparison for these young studs. Now, these aren’t perfect comparisons, but I do think it captures what kind of player these rooks can turn into. Jalen Williams – Oklahoma City Thunder…

Indiana Pacers Draft Targets
I’m a huge fan of how the Pacers have been built and I personally believe they are only a few smart moves away from being a strong up-and-comer in the Eastern Conference. Below are some draft targets that I think fit the current construction of Indiana and where they could land them in the draft…

Stock Rising Draft Prospects
Jacob Toppin – Kentucky 6’9″, insane athleticism, strong handles, and improved shooting. Jacob Toppin is turning into a legit prospect during his senior year at Kentucky. He has a strong pull up jumper, can rebound and bring the ball up the floor, and has the defensive versatility to guard 1-5. I’ve had Toppin on the…

NBA Draft Big Board 3.0

The Miami Heat Offseason Conundrum
I personally love watching the Miami Heat play, especially in the playoffs where they are fighting for their lives through extraordinary coaching, scrappy defense, and miracle work from Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a run to the Conference Finals and, hell, I’ll be rooting for them to pull…

Jalen Suggs – The Next Elite Perimeter Defender
