VISIT NEWS: 2027 3⭐️ Wor Wor of @BellaVistaHoops is taking an official visit to Seattle this weekend, source tells @LeagueRDY.
The 6-foot-7 wing also has plans to visit Mississippi State sometime in early November. He’s ranked as a Top-165 overall prospect in the ‘27 class, per @247Sports.
🇨🇦 6’2 PG Sean Blake had a nice showing today in a preseason match vs. Purdue:
• 16 PTS
• 2 BLK
• 8/15 FG
Athletic, downhill guard who was the starting PG for a very good Vermont squad last season and has big time breakout upside in the MAC this season. Keep an eye on him and Ball State!!
@MAPLEMINUTE @themapleminute @sean_blake0 @SSN_BallState @BallStateMBB
🇦🇴 6’2 PG Aginaldo Neto had a HUGE game today in a 109-91 win over Washington:
• 29 PTS
• 5 REB
• 3 AST

Impressive performance against a Big 10 squad from the Boise State sophomore, who is poised for a big time breakout season as the Broncos enter the Pac 12. High level talent!!
@BroncoSportsMBB @DiasporaDrop @5ongolo @Jay_Tust @ShaunBroncoBeat @BN_Updates
6’8 F Cole Cloer looked VERY impressive last night in a preseason exhibition vs. Ole Miss:
• 18 PTS
• 4 AST
• 4/8 3PT
Skilled sharpshooting wing who showcased impressive passing & ball handling ability vs. SEC competition. The redshirt freshman is no doubt going to be a key contributor for Alabama this season and could play his way into NBA conversations with his unique mix of positional size, shooting ability, and skill. Keep an eye on him!!

6'8 F Adam Olsen with a really nice preseason debut for Auburn vs. Florida State:
• 11 PTS
• 4 REB
• 3/6 3PT
Olsen & Nebraska’s Pryce Sandfort were the ONLY players 6’6 or taller to average at least 15 PPG, 8 3PA/G, & 38% 3PT last season - he is going to be one of the best shooters in the SEC and a big time weapon for this Auburn team loaded with talent!!

NEWS: 🇨🇦 6'7 Sophomore G/F Adam Olsen, one of the BEST SHOOTERS outside of D1, has signed to South Alabama. Olsen had a terrific season as the primary option for a 31-8 UBC team that was one of the best in the Canadian USports league, averaging:
16.4 PPG
3.6 RPG
1.8 APG
38.5% 3PT (6.5 3PA/G)

@adamolsen2005 @ThePortalReport @DougKonkel @NorthPoleHoops
🇸🇴 6’5 G Abdi Bashir WENT OFF today in an exhibition win over UCF:
• 26 PTS
• 6/12 3PT
• 2 STL
One of the best shooters in the COUNTRY, Bashir is a lethal off ball weapon for Will Wade & the LSU Tigers while also showing some juice on the ball as a P&R creator. Going to play a massive role for a team that could be one of the best in the SEC. High level shot maker!!
@abdibashirjr @SoeliteBBall @LSUBasketball @TJ3rd_ @andrechampagnee @TrippBuhler @ChachereGrant

6’6 PG Liban Aadan (@libanaadan0 ) is available! A long, extremely skilled, versatile guard with ability to score at all three levels and facilitate at a high level.

16 PTS shooting 50% (6/12) with 4 AST & 2 STL vs Denmark
13 PTS, 4 AST, 3 REB, & 1 STL vs Georgia

NEWS: 🇨🇦 6’4 PG Noah Otshudi (@Noahotshudi5) is available after being granted a TRO as apart of the @heitner 5 for 5 lawsuit in Texas!

@VerbalCommits @ThePortalReport @themapleminute @TMMR_Jackson
🇨🇦 6’8 F Daniel Chijoke is a PROBLEM! The 2007-born prospect is one of the most intriguing college players not currently in the NCAA; across 4 games this summer against high major D1 competition, Chijoke averaged 14.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, & 1.0 BLK including an impressive showing against Arkansas where he had 22 PTS, 4 REB, 2 BLK & 1 STL on 5/11 3PT shooting.
A long (7’2 wingspan) wing with high level defensive instincts & shooting touch, keep an eye on Chijoke as a rising star in USports!!
@themapleminute @deion_adams @TonbaraSports @EDemirNBA
I know it’s just summer league, but 6’5 G Myles Colvin was EXTREMELY impressive at the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League this past week, looking poised to take a leap with Cincinnati in his 4th year of college.
In the 1st game of the showcase vs. Canadian USports powerhouse UVIC, Colvin scored 25 PTS in 19 mins on 7/11 shooting from 3PT range. Excited to see him in Coach Calhoun’s system this season, and wouldn’t be surprised to see him seriously on NBA radars by the end of the year.

I’m usually not the biggest fan of all-in-one stats as a measure of a basketball player’s value, however I have been a long time fan of the stat Estimated Plus-Minus (EPM), created by data scientist @taylor_snarr. Personally, I feel like this is the closest stat to measuring a NBA players impact on the game, and I feel like it often aligns with my eye test more often than not - which is not something you can say about every stat. That being said, there are definitely some surprises in there as well! I spent this morning going through every player in the NBA’s EPM numbers from last season, and here are some interesting insights that I found:
• As great of a year as he had for the Lakers, I was surprised to see that Marcus Smart ranked 11th in the whole NBA in defensive impact/100 possessions and 71st in overall impact/100. He was huge in the playoffs for the Lakers, and by the numbers had one of the best seasons of his career in terms of defensive impact. The Rockets undoubtedly got great value signing him to a 2 year, $13 million deal this offseason.
• On the other hand, Alperen Sengun was ranked 117th in overall impact/100, far below what I thought he would be ranked. A big reason for that is his 4th percentile TOV rate, while also having middle of the pack true shooting (55th percentile).
• LaMelo Ball ranked 5th in the entire NBA in offensive impact/100 and 7th in overall impact/100. Despite his negative defensive impact/100 (406th) and turnovers (2nd percentile), his offensive creation is so high that he is analytically an overwhelmingly positive force. Hard to understate how big of an addition he is to the Timberwolves offensively.
• OKC had 4 of the top 10 and 6 of the top 25 defensive impact/100 guys in the NBA last season according to EPM in Alex Caruso (4th), Cason Wallace (5th), Chet Holmgren (6th), Isaiah Hartenstein (9th), Ajay Mitchell (13th), and Jaylin Williams (23rd). No doubt they all get a boost from playing with each other, but it is truly ridiculous how many high level impact defenders they have.
• Portland’s Donovan Clingan ranked 41st in the NBA in overall impact/100, being top 100 in both offensive and defensive impact/100. He’s quietly on trajectory to become one of the most valuable bigs in the league with hie elite rebounding and high level rim protection.
• Payton Pritchard has been on a steady improvement curve since he entered the NBA, making a significant jump in impact/100 in each season of his career. In 25-26 Pritchard ranked 23rd in the NBA in offensive impact/100 and 44th overall in overall impact/100. Jalen Brunson was 9th in the NBA in offensive impact/100 last season (regular season). Can Pritchard make one more jump into the top 15 next season?? Analytically he’s not far off, but making that jump from top 25 to top 15 is the hardest one yet.
• Detroit’s big man ranking 13th overall in defensive impact/100 and 23rd in overall impact/100.. was Paul Reed?? He might be the only guy in the NBA playing less than 15 mins a game with that type of impact/100. His eye popping numbers were driven by his 96th percentile block rate, 98th percentile steal rate, and 94th percentile true shooting.
• It’s so hard for rookies to be positive players, but three that did were Kon Knueppel (37th in the NBA in overall impact/100), Collin Murray-Boyles (74th), and VJ Edgecombe (84th). Either of Murray-Boyles and Edgecombe potentially making a jump into the top 50 next year would be huge for their respective team’s prospects at a title.
Of course analytics don’t tell the whole story, but it is definitely an important context to have when evaluating a player - especially when you are looking at them through the lens of immediate impact vs. development. Do you agree or disagree with the story that EPM tells?

NEWS: 🇶🇦6'6 G/W Mohamed Ndao (@simbamo_) has decommitted from UIC and reopened his recruitment!! Ndao is one of the HIGHEST UPSIDE guards out of 2026 class previously playing for Bella Vista.
ELITE two way guard, with exceptional length, agility and instincts. Would be a great late get for a D1 program!!

Easily one of my favorite players to watch.
It’s like watching Barry Sanders on the basketball floor the way he makes defenders look silly trying to pressure him.
West Virginia 🇨🇦 Freshman PG Miles Sadler came in at 30th overall in @Sam_Vecenie's Way-Too-Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft!!
Sadler has turned heads in the NBA world after leading @BellaVistaHoops to a Chipotle National Championship and an electric 29 PTS, 4 REB, 7 AST performance at the Nike Hoop Summit game.
Special things brewing in Morgantown with the core of Sadler, Finley Bizjack, Joson Sanon, & Mouhamed Sylla!!
