I have, at a minimum, seen Bagley show flashes of potential at the defensive end, that are far superior to any defense that I've ever seen Enes Freedom play, at any point of his career. Like, I've seen Enes Freedom play for coaches with good defensive reputations, and still be horrible on defense. Bagley will never be a defensive anchor, but I've at least seen signs that if he's, I dunno, the fourth-best defender on your team, your team's defense might be okay. Offensively, he's probably closer to Clint Capela than Joel Embiid, but there's room for guys like that, too.
I guess my point is that I think that Bagley's ceiling is higher than Enes Freedom, but that may be informed by my very, very low opinion of Enes Freedom.
KAT after this Westbrook airball. 💀💀

Warriors star Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament in left foot that will sideline him indefinitely, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. X-rays on the foot returned negative Wednesday night – meaning no fracture or major damage, a sigh of relief.

I have better things to do but look up on him every day but what I saw last time I looked was more of the same except he's on a worse team that is in a clear tank and has nothing better to do than play him and see what's there.I hope Marvin Bagley sticks in Detroit. His resurgence has been cool to watch.

Marvin had 13 points. It’s astounding how little many people who claim to be NBA guys know about the Kings
My latest for ESPN: Ex-Mavs GM Donnie Nelson sues the team, alleges his firing was retaliation for a sex harassment claim by his nephew against a top Mavs exec & Mark Cuban offered $52 million to buy Nelson’s silence. Cuban: “Everything he said is a lie." https://t.co/gA3bPvxYLT

Hawks forward John Collins has a plantar fascia tear in his right foot as well as damage to his right ring finger, sources tell me and @ChrisKirschner. Collins has been playing through pain for past several weeks, but will now be sidelined indefinitely.

Playing the magic seems to help. Kyrie dropped 60 on them.what's with these 50 point outbursts as of late? the latest player
Kevin Love is only thirty-three. Why does he have more grey hair than I do? Granted, he's not balding at thirty-three, like I was, but none of the hair I still had was grey.
James Wiseman's return to the Warriors has stalled, sources tell @ThompsonScribe and me. Swelling in his right knee. Not practicing with the Warriors the past two days, as initially planned. Won't play in Santa Cruz tomorrow. Status beyond uncertain. https://t.co/9eOAtSIOGT

LeBron James now second on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, surpassing Karl Malone and trailing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for No. 1.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) March 20, 2022
LeBron is out here like, "Well, if I'm not going to win a championship, I might as well see if I can catch Kareem." Of course, I'm also in favor of anything with Karl Malone's name on it being made dust, so that's a plus.
Favorite? No.
who is?
but Twitter tells me he is blossoming now that he's finally away from us.The NBA’s newest breakout star had an absolutely stellar game tonight.
That’s right, a sweet 2/1/1 stat line for Marvin Bagels.
When does he get into Slim’s Big Man reports?
My money’s on a big man.
