    He was the third (of 5) players I took in my legendary (in my own mind) 2019 S2 draft. (all for one team, Cleveland). I was looking for two way players and at least in that video sequence he was one. He has been hampered by injuries throughout his career. I took Darius Garland first (actually traded down to get him at #10). Then Keldon Johnson who the Spurs love. Then Dylan Winder, kind of a disappointment but partly due to losing entire first season to serious injury. I thought I made a mistake picking Troy Brown in the middle of the second round (in the real draft he was undrafted) but I see now that he starts some nights for LAL.

    I've never seen any rule limiting steps between dribbles or between the dribble and the gather.

    Not so sure about that:

    You can take as many steps as you like when you are dribbling as long as the ball is not in contact with your hand. Think of throwing the ball out in-front of you (beginning the dribble), taking 10 steps and then taking your second dribble.

    Man, the Celtics are just killing Ime Udoka's chances of ever getting another job. They're turning him into Mark Jackson.

    He'll have time to do it while recovering from the injury he's about to have.

    Not exactly. Jackson didn’t get to the Finals. We don’t yet know if Celtics can get to Finals without Udoka.

    If that’s true, they have never played the game.

    So the people that hated on Westbrooks historical numbers, are these numbers by Doncic bad also?

    Anyone else watching the Lakers and Philadelphia?
    It’s like neither team wants to win.
