Thrilled to announce that I'm joining WTM Sports Group as their Director of Scouting! Huge thank you to Clay and Alex for reaching out to me and believing in my work. Their knowledge, hard work and eye for talent are a big part of why I believe in this project. Let's get to work!

Some news: I'll be leaving Eurohoops Scouting after 3 years as Head Scout. I want to thank my mentor Kostas and the whole team at Eurohoops for the chance to work for such a prestigious organization, meet new people and travel Europe doing what I love. I'll always be grateful!

🧵 U20 EuroBasket - Div. B standouts Quick list on the best statistical performers according to my model, divided by role. In parenthesis, their projected role at the next level. Potential HM prospects have an asterisk

🧵 Time for the U20 EuroBasket standouts, with the players divided by role. First, divided into ball handlers, wings and bigs and then into sub-roles within those. Added their potential roles in the future this time to the graphic. Follow the thread for an in-depth look

🧵 U19 World Cup standouts Continuing my statistical analysis of the different competitions, it's time for the youngsters. Focusing on players' impact within a specific role and projecting how they could fare in other roles and overall, here are the ones who stood out

I think I discovered my love for cooking. Am I an adult now?

🧵 Presenting my 24/25 Euroleague standouts Will be posting my best players from many different competitions over the next few weeks, based on their offensive roles and how they performed in those and overall. Starting with the Euroleague, here are the best stat-based players

Hello friends! It's that time of the year, so I have updated my portfolio with some of the work I've done this season. The main addition is the work I'm doing for Mexico City Capitanes, with some updates on the Eurohoops and bio/CV pages. Check it out! drive.google.com/file/d/10emc...

Hey friends! Wanted to mark my end of the season with a recap of my year (end of the season was June 30th and start of the new one was the next day, but here we are anyway). This is always a good exercise for me to get my ideas in order and put things into perspective.

Happy to be back with DraftBeat! Had the chance to dive into the game of Jakucionis, how he has developed since I first saw him and how it might have played into the Heat drafting him

We are live! Come hang out!

Come join us!

Haven't done this in a while so here's my Big Board from this draft cycle! Will share in the next few days my horizontal board with more names, but this is the representation of my top 30 guys!

For Eurohoops Scouting, I wrote about the best performers at the NextGen Euroleague finals. Some of the best European (and worldwide) prospects were present in a high-level tournament scouting.eurohoops.net/standouts-fr...

Can we just get the Golden Oldies till the end of the game?

This is not a roster issue. This was developing for the last few seasons. They should look inward and then do any and everything in their power to realize that closing everything off and act like they have all the answers gets them to this. A LOT has to change (but I don't believe it will)

This is brutal. You're getting out matched, out hustled, out everything. And you're probably gonna finish the season mentioning Heat culture like that means anything

Why are the kids the ones losing minutes for Miami in this game? You are down 24!

So we had a lot of this and the Heat were there. 2Q and Donovan in the end put it away for the Cavs. Jovic and Pelle got minutes. Jovic missed a ton of big shots and that will stick, but had a good impact on both ends. Pellet was good for defense but lacked the off ball movement I enviosined

Some key stuff for the Heat tonight and going forward: - start Davion. You can't go against a top backcourt in the league with 2 non-defenders - get Jovic and Pelle in. I would even start Jovic in place of Ware, but I know it won't happen. Still, the team needs movement and functional size

Do we need to have a conversation about Pelle Larsson? I don't wanna go with the I told you so, but I really wanna go with the I told you so

Liking this Heat lineup of Davion/Highsmith/Wiggins/Kyle/Bam. High pressure, versatile defense and enough shooting and shot creation plus IQ to be effective on offense. Functional size and athleticism as well

I am DEFINITELY happy with a Davion/Dru/whatever 1st round rookie they draft as the Heat's PG rotation

I so would buy a Davion Mitchell jersey rn if all the jerseys I own weren't from players who left on bad terms

Kyle Mann and @dannychau.bsky.social crushed the NBA Draft Guide, and immediately sold me on VJ Edgecombe through a comp of “Kentavious Caldwell-Pope bitten by a radioactive spider.” nbadraft.theringer.com

The Heat had 22 assists in the first 3 quarters. 3 assists in the 4th, in yet another offensive disaster. Their offense isn't good, but the 4th quarter offense is abysmal. Just spamming iso actions and zero off-ball movement. They just stop going to things that work in the first 36 minutes

INSEP is the 4th qualifier winner of the NextGen Euroleague, after a dominant performance from their talent factory. Our team at Eurohoops Scouting put together a comprehensive piece with the standouts from the 8 teams present in Belgrade scouting.eurohoops.net/standouts-fr...

Spoelstra has no one else but himself to blame for the Rozier minutes. We're approaching game 70 of the season and he's still part of the rotation. The team always looks worse, his teammates look worse. -15 in 6 minutes of a game your team is winning is insane

Really liked what 6'8 🇫🇷 Nathan Soliman, who only turns 16 in May, showcased at the Belgrade NextGen. Much more involved in the creation of plays, both for himself and others, opening up the curtain to what his future might look like. Let's look at some stuff that stood out 📽🧵

Sharing my portfolio here as I hope more people start to "migrate" over to the good place. It's a document that includes my resume and the work I've been doing for the past few years. Will continue to update as the season goes on drive.google.com/file/d/10emc...

🚨

Oh we here HERE!

This season started with them force feeding Terry/Tyler/Jimmy/Niko/Bam all preseason only for it to implode right away. They have to stop trying to prove themselves right and see what's in front of them.

Terry Rozier has played the entire 4th quarter 25 times this season, the most by any player in the NBA. stathead.com/basketball/q...

The Heat really had an opportunity to develop after the Jimmy trade. Instead, they're doing the opposite. Ware sits after his mistakes, Larsson is racking up DNPs, Jaquez has no role at all and is just there, Jovic was out of the rotation for so long and before the injury his role wasn't clear

40 minutes 3/14 (21%) from the field 1/8 (13%) from 3 2 assists 4 turnovers Missed two 3s in 6 seconds, one of them an airball with an opportunity to go up And was still the player with the most minutes, including the whole 4th quarter. This is insane

Network, network, network! And although, I agree, networking is somewhat of a must...what really matters is being likable. You could network with a 1,000 people and come away w nothing. You could connect with one person who likes you & get a job offer 🏀 #nba open.substack.com/pub/getinthe...

When I was helping hire Interns for the Portland Trail Blazers, one of the things our Ast General Manager would tell us… “Find someone who will play pickup ball with us, find someone who wants to be in the Fantasy Football League, find someone you will like being around.”

The Heat were hovering around a 7/8 point deficit all game, never looked like they were gonna win this. On the other hand, when they're leading by 15+, you always feel like that lead will evaporate in seconds

We're back!! 🥹

Don't usually use my online platforms for this, but this past month has probably been the most difficult I've faced from a mental capacity. Trying to bury myself in my work but the feelings of not belonging, of the future maybe not being as bright as I project are there. Really just wanted to vent

In a rare Streambeat x @miamiheatbeat.bsky.social crossover, my guy Moose and I got to sit down with Jake Rogal, the director of the new @netflix.com doc, Court of Gold, and ask him a few questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyYA...

Se a companhia do @antoniodias.bsky.social e do @zeandrade.bsky.social já é algo para destacar, uma conversa fantástica com Miguel Miranda, uma das minhas referências desportivas na juventude, é mesmo indescritível. Vale mesmo a pena escutar 🏀

A comprehensive look at the biggest standouts present in Ulm for the NextGen Euroleague, written by me, Federico Gaibotti and Theo Anastasoudis. Probably the most talented qualifier of the season, a great opportunity to watch future college and NBA prospects 👇 scouting.eurohoops.net/standouts-fr...

Fans of NBA teams are always ready to rebuild and develop young players until they start making mistakes and a coach lets them play through those mistakes. It's what comes with giving those guys minutes

17-63 in the last two 4th quarters away from Miami is not normal

This is not. Run some offense
