For every young player struggling to actualize an imposing pre-draft expectation, there are occasional spurts of brilliance, just enough to keep the believers going without really creating a consistent impact. Nearly two seasons into the Jonathan Isaac experience, that’s the best way to describe his journey. When the Orlando Magic drafted Isaac sixth overall in

The NBA provides the masses great drama during nearly every month of the year — February, for many reasons, is no different. Aside from the All-Star Game-related festivities, the trade deadline is always a popular period of time for the frenzied onlooker.

Defense is inherently important for success as a big in the NBA, but many big prospects struggle to make an impact there in college. How can we project who will be good defenders in the NBA, and how can these players provide value if they aren’t? The 2018 NBA Draft class was an outlier year
The NBA Trade Deadline is almost here and every team has an opportunity to improve. Here’s how they can do it. With the trade deadline approaching, the front office for each team in the NBA has a chance to assess the direction and needs of their roster. While some teams may be in a position
The NBA transaction wire has been a quiet one this season. The early season trade of Jimmy Butler notwithstanding, there has been little movement outside of the occasional waiver claim or short-term contract. With the Feb. 7 trade deadline fast approaching on the horizon, however, that could change rather quickly. The rumor mill has already
The NBA Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching and the number of teams looking to add talent grows with every day and new injury. Chatter is beginning to heat up with rumors and speculation picking up in the last few days. We kicked off a new series this week at Basketball Insiders, examining each division across
As we approach the trade deadline this season, rumors, speculation, and reports will begin to circulate on social media. Some may be grounded, others may be purely opinion-based. Regardless of what comes up, there is always one guarantee: Trades will be made. Whether teams are trying to improve their roster before the playoffs, mix up

First thing’s first: Pray for a full recovery for Victor Oladipo. The man has been one of the most inspirational stories since arriving in Indiana a year and a half ago, as he went from disappointing lottery pick to unexpected superstar. His evolution as one of the league’s top two-way guards has made him the
Ever since he came into this league, Brandon Ingram has had ginormous and arguably unfair expectations. Being selected second overall in what was believed to be a two-man draft is one thing. Being selected by one of the league’s most storied franchises along with that is another. Those two combined is sure to generate a
For the last few years, the only thing that really mattered about the Brooklyn Nets was where their first-round pick would land. Brooklyn had traded seemingly every pick in its arsenal to the Celtics in the ill-fated Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett deal, and right up until the summer of 2018, that swap kept paying
NBA players love their pets and the Utah Jazz’s Rudy Gobert wants you to know it’s okay if that pet happens to be a cat. Cats are great, and so is the NBA. On the rare occasions those two things intersect, I am overjoyed. Today is one of those rare occasions as Vivint Smart Home,
With the first half of the NBA season firmly in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look toward All-Star Weekend, the looming trade deadline and, ultimately, the high-stakes playoff chase. Although most of this year’s rookie class — minus one outstanding potential exception — won’t be headed to Charlotte for anything outside of the Rising
The February Trade Deadline is one of the most important dates of the NBA season. As team look to fortify their squads down the stretch, deals are made that can either make or break a playoff push, or set up a team for the future. The trade market has been quiet so far this season
Grit-and-Grind is unfolding, and it’s unfolding fast. After a blistering 12-5 start to the season, the Grizzlies are falling hard in the standings. The team has only won seven of its last 27 games – good for a record of 19-25 – which has them placed currently 14th in the bloodbath that is the Western
James Harden has a real challenge on his hands. The Houston Rockets’ remarkable stretch from mid-December to the New Year behind the reigning MVP helped put them back in the middle of the playoff picture. But he had a right-hand man—the same right-hand man who has emerged as a dominant two-way interior presence over the

Atlanta Hawks rookie, Kevin Huerter, stands out because of his aptitude from deep. But it’s the less celebrated aspects of his game that make him so intriguing. The Atlanta Hawks, in the year 2019, are understandably not a frequent topic of discussion. The Hawks sit at 11-27, reaching such heights only on the back of

Dressed in pink and full of confidence, Justise Winslow called his own number. He dribbled past half court and signaled for a play. A few feet in front of him was Kawhi Leonard, perhaps the league’s best perimeter defender since Scottie Pippen. Winslow’s teammate Rodney McGruder came up to screen Leonard but scattered away at
The atmosphere is buzzing. On one side of the court, bleachers are almost to capacity with roughly 1,200 people in attendance. The other side has been cleared out to welcome multiple bounce houses for the children. It’s Pirate Night. There are foam swords and pirate hats galore. This is the NBA G-League. The Salt Lake
