Dyson is now #1 in the NBA in deflections by a fair margin, with 64 deflections in 17 games this season.

Under the radar stat: Brook Lopez has 40 blocks in his last 10 games. (alien.top)
 

I can't speak for Bucks fans, but watching Brook over the first 4 games of the season or so, I was slightly concerned. He looked even slower than usual, and didn't look overly great at protecting the rim (0, 0, 1, 1 blocks in the first 4 games of the season).

Since that point he's gone on an insane defensive run, here are his blocks in his last 10 games:

8, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3, 7, 6, 2, 5.

He is now 2nd to only Anthony Davis (3.3) in blocks per game this season at 3.0 per game.

Bilal Coulibaly being left out of every top 10 rookie prospects so far is extremely surprising to me in c/nba@nba.space

Bill Simmons did a "Top 15 rookie ranks" the other day with some supposed draft expert.. and he didn't even have Coulibaly in the top 15, lol.

Some of the names ahead of him:

  • Marcus Sasser
  • Anthony Black
  • Toumani Camara
  • Sasha Vezenkov
  • Amen Thompson

I'm pretty convinced that a lot of NBA 'experts' don't even watch basketball.

What's with professionals in the media and not being able to say Wembanyama? It's 4 syllables and is pronounced exactly the way it's spelled. Surely it ain't that hard.
