Watch Braylon Mullins's fundamentals and footwork with his on-ball DEF here. Does a great job of sliding his feet, staying in a low defensive stance, and playing with physicality to cut off drives.

This is an awesome possession by Braylon Mullins showing how he plays with his head up. Off the first OREB he does a great job of passing through traffic to find Karaban on the cut. Then on the next one he has the wherewithal to tip the OREB to Karaban for the easy layup.

I was a little skeptical on how Darius Adams’ rim pressure would translate to college, but he’s been a lot of fun. He’s just so crafty, composed, has great balance, and is relentless. Fun game for him today against Marquette.

Morez Johnson was huge for Michigan down the stretch last night. Not sure they pull off that win without him. Needs to work on the DEF discipline but his DEF versatility, rebounding on both ends, interior finishing, and cutting constantly bailed them out.

Tough first half for Cam Boozer. The DEF has been great but Texas is doing a great job of defending him. A lot of my nitpicks with his shot creation popping up as Texas defenders are doing a good job of battling with his physicality and Boozer doesn't have a counter outside of lowering his shoulder.

That back cut by Evans is set up because of his shooting gravity. He moves so well without the ball and does a terrific job of recognizing how his defender is guarding him.

Dame Sarr is a blast. Tough not to buy in. Really encouraging how much better his shot looks than just a few months ago. Also helps that it looks like he's shot out of a cannon in the open court.

Fun first game for Nolan Minessale with St. Thomas against a good Saint Mary's team. Minessale got to the rim whenever he wanted, showcased some fun passing flashes, consistently finished at the rim, and the shot off the catch looked much more comfortable than last year.

Trey McKenney looked great for Michigan yesterday with 21, 4, and 2. He had a shaky preseason so great to see him bounce back immediately. We knew he could shoot/score, but his passing creativity and defensive intensity really popped for me.

This is the exact type of debut I was hoping we'd get from Koa Peat. Buying into being an elite role player, buying into the defensive end, and consistently doing the little things. He's been fantastic and bullying Condon all game.

It's crazy how good Tyrese Maxey is looking this year. Just everything he's doing feels so much faster and more decisive. Obviously he moves fast but even his passing reads, shot selection, cuts, etc. all feel a lot quicker. Always cool when we can see the game slow down for guys

Meleek Thomas may have one of the quickest releases off the catch in the country this year. Really enjoying his off-ball shooting so far and how that could open up more of his on-ball creation down the road attacking closeouts, DHOs, etc.

Cooper Flagg's start feels a lot like it did at Duke where he had some shaky starts against top competition despite some of the numbers he was putting up. In those games, he looked like he was overthinking things, trying to do too much, and was figuring out the speed of the game.

Good fight but not a shocking result for the Timberwolves. They just didn't have the fire power to counter an absurd Murray scoring performance. Also too many DEF miscues with their scramble DEF, highlighted by Denver's 52% shooting from 3.
