Draftniks: That Baylor-ASU game has two first-rounders (Carr and Yessoufou from Baylor) and a '27 sleeper (ASU's Massamba Diop). Next-best is probably VaTech-Wake with Neoklis Avdalas and Juke Harris.
Also, this guy's watch grid is $$$ this time of year.
Looks we'll get to see more of Santa Clara sleeper Allen Graves. Win over St. Mary's last night likely has Broncos in Big Dance for first time since Steve Nash took them there 30 years ago. Playing in WCC title game vs. Gonzaga tonight.

New for @theathletic.com -- How good does Jayson Tatum need to be for the Celtics to win a title? Where does he stand right now? What does history tell us? Some thoughts after seeing the Celtics this week.

Just finished Nuggets-Thunder.
WOW. Bring me the playoffs!!!
They went to Jared
Luke Kornet is going to get quite a reception from the Atlanta fans when he comes here for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Magic Sidney night >> Magic City night
Chiefs' vertical passing game is gonna be sick
100%. Absolutely floored when I saw this pass. 70 foot in the air and on the money.

Coach Thibodoppelganger? Brunson played the entire second half with game never truly close.
Maybe Hauser if you value education
Ha no!
One observation from my visit to Cameron and seeing the back of house: trying to put NBA Cup final there would be a gigantic logistical clusterf. There's no way.
Wahoowa!!!
Ps the nature of this business is that I end up flying home from someplace the morning the clocks change nearly every year. Hasn't bit me yet!!
Good morning! Wrote some words on yet another Santa Clara draft sleeper, plus a few other deep cuts who might be worth tracking in March.

11-minute stretch where North Carolina only had 2 points
YIIIIIIKES
Duke might wanna chill a bit on the YOLO 1-on-3 transition sequences now that they're up 23 with six minutes left.
All Duke now. NC offense completely off the rails last ten minutes, and their only chance was outscoring the Devils. 67-46 Duke at the under 8 TO.
Incredible patience and footwork by Boozer to work Veesaar for a lefty finish at the rim. Still wondering how NBA refs will treat that hesi, another near-carry.

Scheyer slumped in his chair in frustration at that last set Duke ran, which Cayden Boozer somehow bailed out with a late-clock 3.
Hubert Davis can't believe there wasn't a foul after Seth Trimble lost a contact on his drive to the hoop. Game stopped while he pops it back in.
omg
Not sure if camera is picking this up but Boozer has two giant, Jokic-esque scratches on his right arm.
