Excellent stuff. I had a question about Nikola Durisic. You have mentioned his ability to take and make tough shots. What makes you confident that against better athletes and talent he will still be able to get those shots off and make them? I think of Adam Morrison (not necessarily to compare the two as I've never seen Nikola Durisic play) and how his lack of athleticism basically sent him out of the league when he came in as a tough shot taker and maker. Granted his injury made it worse but he was never very good even pre-injury in the NBA. Love your work!
I saw you were really high on Brandin Podziemski (#15) in your latest fanspo big board.
I see he averaged 8.8 rebounds/GM last season and had a 39 inch vertical. Can you project how he will fair defensively in the NBA based on those two things, like maybe that he has a high motor and plays with physicality on the defensive end?
I know his shooting, off-the-dribble, will win raves and he seems to fire them up at-will, while making them at a really good rate. He also seems to have good vision in the half-court and transition. Just worried about him defensively.
Thanks for any insights since I don’t think you’ve written on him before…

Hi Mike, you've discussed about regular season vs playoff movement shooters. Out of curiosity, how would you class Buddy Hield and Malik Beasley?
It seems like playoffs movement shooter is rare to come by? Is there anyone who's one in recent / this coming draft?
