But can he get on base?
I’m telling ya, stick with this kid, he’s a winner, he can feel the pressure, knows when to step up out of the pocket and he’s not afraid to take chances.

Good coach who gets a bad rap. Rare bulls W
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has signed a multiyear contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. Donovan is viewed as a leader within the Bulls organization, and will enter his sixth season in Chicago in 2025-26 with 800 NBA games coached over his career.

It’s for sure world-altering in terms of changing how we interact with others, how we think about what counts as “real” art and prose, and I also think it’s been a big driver of creating an analog counterculture. AGI is a long way off, though.
I think there's still more than a chance that AI is overhyped as a world-altering technology and the mega-expansion looks silly in a decade, if not sooner

I really think the Memphis Grizzlies will overperform this year. They’re basically all-in on size and defense around Ja, and that combo could turn into a Minnesota-style buzzsaw in the regular season.

This is absolutely true. I’ve posted 1 Substack article total, but I have 5-6 ideas cooking in Drafts and just the process of writing out ideas brings out a much higher level of critical thinking and thoroughness.
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

I suspect, by the way, that teams' answer is that the public underrates lotto picks and overrates late firsts. The FRP payouts last night were extreme, but if you think a FRP down the line will be later than 18 or so, use it to move up.
I know a few swings have been taken at it, but designing a rigorous NBA Draft Pick Value model is a dream of mine. I don't think anybody *really* knows what these picks are worth.

Why are they airbrush filtering Dylan man 😭
During his pre-draft media session, Dylan Harper made it clear that “nothing is set in stone,” but confirmed the Spurs brought him in for a second workout because they wanted another look. He praised the organization and coaching staff, and said he’s genuinely excited about the idea of playing alongside Victor Wembanyama.

If you're interested in the problems I saw on in NBA Draft Analysis that led to this model (or are just down to read a new writer's stuff!), you can check out my article here: open.substack.com/pub/clockh…
