So, 3 guys on the Yale team that beat Auburn in a 4 vs 13 matchup in the 2024 NCAA tournament are getting shots at the NBA for next season. In addition to Danny Wolf, 27th pick who had transferred to Michigan last year, Bez Mbeng of Potomac is getting a summer league shot with the Warriors and John Poulakidas, who lit up Auburn, is getting the same deal with the Clippers. I think Mbeng has the potential to get a long look because of his D and ball handling with just enough shooting. He's big enough to cover tall wings and point guards. I think Poulakidas might develop into 3 point wing off the bench as his step back shot is tough to slack off of on D, but I'm thinking he'll need a year or two in the development league or maybe Europe to see if the rest of his game is pro-level. Reminds me a little of Sam Houser, but probably less quickness and explosiveness (and that's probably the first time you've heard quick and explosive used with Sam Houser).

Celtics are in a full drive to get below luxury tax. In addition to dealing Porzingas and Holliday, they were unable to re-sign Kornet and are about to lose Horford to the Lakers. The goal is to position the team to spend like crazy in 2 years after Tatum is back and Tatum and Brown are young enough for another run.

Pretty shocking to see the Bucks release Lillard. Reports are that they are going all in this year to try and win one more before Giannis declines.

Really rough few weeks for Indiana.
