Pair of Bilal Coulibaly straight line drive and dunks in the 1H against Julius Randle defense.

First on a screen reject, second on a ghost screen.

Noticed these very very similar defensive possessions from Julius Randle over the last two games.

Worrying way too much about tagging the roller instead of his corner matchup.

Looks like Rudy Gobert can recover on both, but Randle allows an open 3PM both times.

Julius Randle + Naz Reid vs Washington

Anthony Edwards could not find Rudy Gobert's roll off the Zoom action.

But Jaylen Clark found him with the connective pass.

Jaylen Clark

Quick after make bucket from Rob Dillingham.

Zooming up the court, past the horrendous Wizards defense.
November 20, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Johnny Juzang on the bench with a perfect reaction to this Rudy Gobert kickout lol.

Great helpside defense from Jaylen Clark.

Giving Rob Dillingham some assistance while he tried to hold off Khris Middleton. Blocking his shot.

Cool fast break possession here.

Off the Anthony Edwards steal, it only takes two passes from Jaylen Clark up court, to Naz Reid in the corner.

Donte DiVincenzo's skip was a beauty.

Donte DiVincenzo to Anthony Edwards lob!

Clark shared some thoughts on how the defense can survive in these lineups.

"I just try to take the ball out of the PG's hands at the beginning of the play. Those few extra seconds may be the determining factors if they can break the paint or run the play that they have."

According to Cleaning the Glass, 159 of Jaylen Clark's 382 possessions played this season have come alongside a Julius Randle and Naz Reid, Big pairing.

Putting Clark alongside two spacing bigs should continue to be the focal point, as it allows him to be relevant offensively.
November 19, 2025 at 8:42 PM
The best thing Jaylen Clark can do to stay relevant offensively is to be a cutter.

Oftentimes, regarding prospects that lack a jumper, people will lazily say that they can be a cutter, but what JC does encapsulates the real result so well.

Great cut here to give Ant an outlet.

Some of Rob Dillingham's offensive struggles are epitomized in this possession.

Does a good job at attacking the Marshall closeout, but then is stuck between decisions.

Gets a second chance on the OREB swing, but hesitates to shoot, awkward dribble to then reset to Ant.

A pair of possessions where Brandon Williams got easy paint touches against Rob Dillingham defense.

- First possession, Williams makes a great move, but the fact that Rob gives up space to other smaller guards is so concerning.

- Second, Williams hostage dribbles into a foul.

Jaden McDaniels is just having such a fun season.

Help-side block into the lob to Naz Reid in transition.

Love the quick decision making of a slight ball fake to the corner, then pass to Reid.
November 18, 2025 at 6:20 AM
Two solid short roll reads from Rudy Gobert in the 1H vs Dallas.

Enough time has passed to where I am no longer as excited about this because teams will still blitz the hell out of Ant regardless and force Rudy to be a decision maker, so nice finds, but still a major caveat.
November 18, 2025 at 6:14 AM
Really enjoy Julius Randle's patience when attacking closeouts.

He just does a great job at timing it up to where he can get his drives off, and utilizes his pump fake well.
November 18, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Julius Randle shimmy lol

Naz Reid at halftime vs Denver

17 PTS | 6/8 FG | 4/5 3P | + 11 in 17 mins

Rob Dillingham using his speed defensively, continues to show some cool flashes.

Ripping Jokic here.
