I don't ever watch ESPN so forgive me if they give him coverage, but I'm constantly baffled by how little attention Mitchell Robinson seems to get for his impact. Changes the way the other team has to approach offense and defense in a way few guys in the league do
The 4 Letter network gambit of dividing players into 2 categories is really completely unintelligent. These guys you are highlighting (and some others that love watching) are the stuff of championships.
In my opinion, the Bucks don’t have a championship without Jrue H, and the Celtics don’t have this last one without Jrue and White.
Naji is killing it this year. I’ve watched every game and he is so good.
It’s a shame that the 4 letter network and the talking heads denigrate these players by dividing the league into “stars” and “role players.” That is incredibly lazy reporting and creates a divide that simply isn’t real. You can’t win without the Drew Nembhard and Naji and Jalen Suggs type players. They are not tole players any more than Paul George is a star!
Thanks for this! It was a really fun read highlighting guys I love to watch
Coach, I love your write-ups, and always learn something, but I think having Rudy and Scottie Barnes on this list is a bit of a misnomer. Those two, Rudy due to previous accolades and Scottie, I'd only by reputation, are a cut above the rest. Rudy 2 or 3, I'd argue.
Unfortunately, I don't want enough to recognize and recommend 2 to replace them - maybe Neemas Queta in Boston, maybe Isaiah Stewart in Detroit (although I think he still fouls too much). And maybe I'm thinking Scottie is elevated more because you've written/talked about him so much over the years, and not due to his ACTUAL rep in the league, but I digress.
Keep the knowledge flowing, and I'll keep learning at the feet of a master.

I'm still not fully over the Luka trade and what ifs, and there you go highlighting no less than 3 players that he used to play with on the Mavs.
