CHA: Amari Bailey excited about future with Hornets: ‘There’s a lot to look forward to here.’
Sarah Effress, The Charlotte Observer
“I feel like painting my own canvas in a sense. It’s a blank canvas, however many things of paint you want, it’s really what you make it,” Bailey said. “Being an all-star, being on a winning team, just grinding things out, it don’t come easy. But I signed up for the best job in the world, so I’ll be alright.”

CLE: Darius Garland is a goldfish
Mike Shearer, Basketball Poetry
In biology, there is a concept called “indeterminate growth.” Unlike humans, who plateau at a consistent time and size, plenty of flora and fauna grow as much as their environment allows. Theoretically, you could have a world-sized goldfish if you had enough food and a tank the size of the solar system.
Darius Garland is that goldfish; his team needs to change the size of his bowl.

How Cooper Flagg reclassifying will impact the 2025 NBA draft
Jonathan Givony, ESPN+
Flagg is moving up from a loaded 2025 high school class — boasting Boozer and soon Dybantsa, both No. 1-pick-caliber prospects — to a much weaker 2024 class, which analysts have long lamented for its lack of star power.
Making the call to reclassify now, as opposed to next spring like most players usually do, makes Flagg eligible to compete in the McDonald’s All American game in March 2024.
