Cameron Boozer will find your defense's weakness and attack it relentlessly. 9/11 on 2s and 8 assists last night against the league's eighth-best defense.

He was sensational in the second half. The Raptors struggled to contain his size on the perimeter and he hunted out their switching scheme and picked it apart.

Yaxel's pull-up 3PT shooting at Michigan was *historically singular* for a PF -- among PFs from all leagues and all ages in basketball history. This improved his driving and already historic passing also.

Strong NBA creation was inevitable, as I wrote about before his debut:

I was not higher on Yax than most, and, uh, same.

Q for draft Twitter: what signs did we miss re: his shot creation?

Or if you called this somehow, what exactly did you see?

Happy NBA RS Day! To celebrate, I refurbished 3 of my unreleased pre-draft player profiles and dropped them on my blog, explaining my view on each player entering draft night.

Words on Boozer’s dominance, Hannes’ underrated passing, and Swain’s overvalued creation.

No tweet has affected my evaluation paradigms as much as this. So I wrote an article about:

1. My definition of cognition
2. Linking “OAS” theory to cognition
3. Why the cognition found in OAS drives outlier development

the most important precocious skill integration is oreb-assist-stocks

this is the ultimate functional athleticism x feel proxy, a synthesis of skills that exponentially raises ceiling beyond perception of raw box stats/bpm

lots and lots of instructive developmental stories here
