Ime Udoka has been managing his young core of Houston Rockets players fairly well. A huge addition in terms of veteran leadership on the work was Fred VanVleet. He made guys like Tari Eason, and Jabari Smith Jr. take a big leap in the first few games of the season. But, one high-caliber player has […]

The Utah Jazz haven’t had that great of a start to the 2023-24 NBA season. They are near the bottom of the standings in the Western Conference with a record of 2-7, only above the 1-6 Memphis Grizzlies.

There hasn’t been much for the Memphis Grizzlies to smile about early in the 2023-24 NBA season. They were at one point the only team in the league without a win to start the season and it’s possible Taylor Jenkins could be on the hot seat. You really have to dig deep to find something […]

Much of the intrigue around Victor Wembanyama centers on what he could be. The tantalizing skill set considering his height is just the starting point.

Before any talks of notching another banner for the Boston Celtics kick in, Joe Mazzulla and his squad have much to figure out in their rotations.
