NBA Fantasy: Predicting the Top 3 In Total Assists for the 2019-20 Season

NBCSports Very few plays make jaws drop like a perfectly-placed pass in transition. NBA point guards who can make difficult passes to set up their teammates with open shots can make crowds leap to their feet. Like the old ad once said: ‘Why did the Chosen One ask for court vision? For the glory of the team!’ In terms of fantasy basketball, there is more to drafting a guy than just being a fancy passer. Those passes have to become assists to truly make an impact. When drafting

2017 NBA Re-Draft: Part 1

Complex Pick 30: Los Angeles Lakers - Frank Ntilikina (Original pick: Josh Hart) The last (first round) pick of the Phil Jackson era in New York has not been great. Defensively is where his game shines, but his career 5.9 PPG on 35% shooting is horrendous. To restart his NBA career, why not put him in L.A. to get some bench minutes while backing up Fox. Pick 29: San Antonio Spurs - Markelle Fultz (Original pick: Derrick White) Let’s have fun. Fultz has not lived up to the hyp

Harrison Barnes Stays With the Sacramento Kings

Flurry Sports What’s the deal? Sam Amick provided the most significant tidbits about this contract, claiming that Barnes’ $85 million deal declines over each of its four years. The combo forward proved the decision to opt into free agency was a wise one. Furthermore, these regressing contracts are attractive should the time come for the Kings to sell high on Barnes. What does Barnes bring to the team? The former Tar Heel played some of his best basketball after a midseason tr

Willie Cauley-Stein Joins Golden State

USA Today What’s the deal? Reports are that Cauley-Stein is joining the Golden State Warriors on a one year deal just over the minimum salary. He was a very solid player for the Kings last season, averaging 12 points and eight rebounds. The Warriors were devastated by the losses of Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and to a much lesser extent DeMarcus Cousins. Despite this, they’ve done a great job retooling to make another playoff run. D'Angelo Russell and Cauley-Stein help round

2019 NBA Free Agents: Nikola Vucevic

NBA.com Overview: 2018-19 was a career year for Magic big man Nikola Vucevic. He improved across the board, on both ends of the floor. His elite rebounding, perimeter shooting combined with an upgrade on the defensive end earned him a maiden All-Star selection. While Orlando fans should be disappointed with his postseason form that shouldn’t shy away from the incredible regular season he had.

2019 NBA Free Agents: Willie Cauley-Stein

NBC Sports Overview: Willie Cauley-Stein finally made good on the promise he showed when Sacramento selected him 6th overall in the 2015 draft. While he didn’t set new career highs across the board, for the first time in his career, Cauley-Stein made clear that he could be part of a winning team. Though the Kings ultimately slid below .500 on the season, they were in the running for a playoff spot all year long, and Cauley-Stein was a big part of that, providing strong defens

OTG Team Awards: Sacramento Kings

Ezra Shaw/Getty Images The Sacramento Kings have been a revelation this season. They came close to making it to the playoffs in the vaunted Western Conference despite having a relatively young core. As a consolation, they would finish with their best record since their 38-win total in the 2007-08 season. Let’s take a look at the players who fast-tracked the Kings’ rebuilding process in our annual Off The Glass NBA awards. Sixth Man of the Year: Bogdan Bogdanovic Bogdanovic e

Top 15 Fan Moments of the NBA Season

Sporting News With the NBA season winding down it seems like the right time to reflect on the unique pleasure that is the 82 game campaign. Baskets were made, charges were taken, and many predictable scenarios played out in the way one would expect. The Golden State Warriors are at the top of the Western Conference, Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden are battling it out for the MVP crown, and the New York Knicks still stink. Other narratives didn’t go at all as predicted.
