How many regular season games does this team win next season as a core? Not only are they an old core, but they have also missed plenty of games over the past few years. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The 76ers had a woeful season last year, riddled by injuries. Health will remain a big question, but could they make waves in a wide-open East? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

Here's the NBA defensive landscape. It's rare for a player to dominate a stat. Both NBA defensive stats have players with a big lead in Victor Wembanyama and Dyson Daniels. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

Here is NBA team performance by number of rest days from last season. 1. The good teams don't lose with full rest. 2. The Knicks played very poorly on the back end of a back-to-back. Could that change with a new coach? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

People find the modern NBA boring because of 2 things: free throws and 3-pointers. Does this graph help you find the teams that are fun to watch? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

It was SGA's year this year, and he did it with a healthy dose of free throws. The approach proved to be infuriating for some, but undoubtedly effective. Will more star guards go all out to get to the line? Here is the current free-throw landscape. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

Devin Booker has resigned with the Phoenix Suns for the richest annual contract in NBA history. He has great scoring and passing numbers with decent efficiency. Was it the right call to rebuild around Booker? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Denver Nuggets will not release Jonas Valančiūnas and have him carry out his contract. Valančiūnas is a defensive liability and his shooting efficiency isn't great for a floor-spacing big. What type of boost will he give the Nuggets? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The New York Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons as head coach. They hired Mike Brown. How will Mike Brown change the dynamic of the Knicks? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Lakers have acquired their center to pair with Luka Dončić in DeAndre Ayton. Is he the type of lob threat they are looking for? Or does he float out too much to the free-throw line? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

Naz Reid signed an extension for $125M/5YR today. Do you think he's worth that type of money? #NBA #Basketball #NBASky

It may be a while until we see this trio, but will Cooper Flagg fit well with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving? He improved his 3-point shot at Duke, but still doesn't shoot it as often as many NBA stars. With AD not a strong shooting threat, will they have a spacing issue? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Rockets traded for Kevin Durant yesterday. It's clear how they expect him to fit in with the offense. At his age and considering how his stints in Brooklyn and Phoenix went, will this trade put the Rockets over the edge? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Boston Celtics have traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers for Anfernee Simons and two 2nd round picks. Does this make any sense for Portland who is on the outside of a stacked West? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

OKC entered the finals as big favorites, but the Pacers have surprised them by bringing the series to game 7. Part of the difference can be attributed to the Pacers' stellar 3-point shooting. They have three players who shoot them at a decent volume, at 40%+. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Indiana Pacers have felt unstoppable in the clutch this playoffs. In particular, Tyrese Haliburton feels like he has delivered the big moments over and over. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Magic gave up a lot to acquire Desmond Bane's shooting. Is there any chance it could be worth it for a perfect fit? Is it a perfect fit? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The star forwards each had big games in game 5 of the finals. Here's how efficient they have been throughout the playoffs at different ranges. #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

The Grizzlies sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for KCP and a whole lot of picks. Are the costs of role players becoming too high in trades? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball

Does Tyrese Haliburton's range get even deeper in the playoffs? Has that been a factor in his breakout success this year? #NBA #NBASky #Basketball
