Victor Wembanyama hasn’t just been dominant over the last nine months — he’s also been durable. Here’s how Victor and Guillaume Alquier, the creator of his unique regimen, have been making it happen. New story @espn:

After nearly nine years at Sports Illustrated, I was among those laid off today. It’s the only real job I’ve had, and despite the general descent into chaos you’re witnessing, I’m grateful that most of the time, going to sit and watch basketball never felt like a real job.

I’ve never met anyone as charismatic or able to put you at ease quite like he did - I was expecting a quick interaction, it turned into a pretty real one I’ll never forget. Hope we can all be a little more like Bill in how we treat one another, and I’ll always appreciate it.

With Cam Whitmore falling out of the lottery, my understanding is there's a palpable trepidation surrounding his medicals that's contributed to this slide. That chatter grew louder behind the scenes today. Whitmore could still be a real value pick for whoever grabs him.

Exactly one year later, Jose Alvarado tonight: 16 points, 10 assists, six steals, no turnovers for New Orleans.
Don’t think this has been discussed much - Jose Alvarado is a legit NBA prospect. Size/age will work against him, but his hands and defensive instincts are wildly good, he’s tough as hell, he’s become pretty efficient, and he never stops battling. I’d bet on him finding a way. .

Whilst enjoying the hockey, it occurred to me: what if the NBA had a power play rule whenever players get techs? Like, Draymond mouths off, goes to the box, then the Warriors play four-on-five for one minute of clock time. It wouldn’t *not* be interesting.

Nice day for UConn’s Tyrese Martin, who’s become an increasingly less sneaky prospect and has had a good week, plus a callup from Elite Camp. 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists in game two while toggling between different positions. Think he can help someone next season.

Arizona had the same issues all season, never adjusted. Obviously a lot of distractions, but blame falls on Miller for reluctance to experiment. There's young talent on their bench that never had a chance to improve or gain confidence. Stuck with two-big lineups, paid the price.

Shayok finishes with 37 (7-9 from three) in inarguably the most exciting game of the tournament so far. Breakout day for Xavier center Zach Hankins with 24 points and 8 boards. Wyoming’s Justin James (16/8/5) had a number of impressive moments as well.
Iowa State’s Marial Shayok with 24 points in the first half of his game here (8-14, 4-6 3FG). Not sure what the tournament record is and I’m too lazy to look it up but can report that he is playing well.

Kentucky’s PJ Washington has been the best player in this first scrimmage so far. Think he’s helped himself this week. Showing consistency with his jumper and willing to bang on the inside. Uses his hands and length to compensate for size. Interesting draft decision for him.
