As a Chicago-born NBA analyst with a data-driven mind and street-level intuition, I break down why the Suns' desperate trade moves — especially the rumored push for Rudy Gobert — could be more harmful than helpful.

Spoiler: If they’re rushing to fix their defense by forcing deals, they might be digging a deeper hole. Let’s talk real talk.

As a Chicago-based NBA analyst, I’ve seen fans come in late and wonder: just how elite was Klay Thompson during his 2018–19 season?

Let’s dive into the numbers behind the headlines.

As a former NBA scout and data analyst, I’ve seen how pressure distorts talent. Wawae isn’t perfect — but his 37% three-point shooting, 1.3 steals per game, and growing role in a flawed system deserve more patience than criticism. The real issue? A roster built around 'three guards' forces him into roles he wasn’t designed for. With next season’s depth upgrades, his ceiling is rising — not falling. Let’s stop overreacting to noise.

As a Lakers-loving data analyst, I break down why Jonathan Kuminga never fit Golden State's system.

As a die-hard Lakers fan and NBA data analyst, I dive deep into why Kevin Durant and Alperen Şengün are a terrible fit on both ends of the court. From offensive redundancies to defensive liabilities, this pairing could spell disaster for any team bold enough to try it. Spoiler alert: 1+1 might equal less than 2 here.

As a data analyst who's spent years dissecting NBA tactics, I couldn't help but notice striking similarities between the Warriors and Pacers' offensive systems. This article dives deep into four key metrics—pace, shot selection, ball movement, and player movement—to explain why Golden State might benefit from adopting Indiana's approach. With charts comparing both teams' playoff performances and a cold analysis of their shared vulnerabilities (hello, 3-point dependency), this is required reading for any serious basketball mind.
