Deep Dives: Model v0.0 Or: a novice programmer tries to remember his statistics classes and create a prospect evaluation model for the 2026 NBA Draft.

Happy New Year! I’ve had a project in the works for a while, and now it’s finally ready. Well sort of.
For @noceilingsnba.bsky.social today, I wrote about my odyssey to create an analytical scouting model as a novice programmer, and what I learned along the way: www.noceilingsnba.com/p/editors-no...

Sacramento Kings rookie Nique Clifford showcased his two-way versatility at Summer League and looks to be an exciting piece for Kings fans moving forward.

Kings improve to 2-0 in Las Vegas with a 109-92 win over the Bulls. Devin Carter stuffed the stat sheet with 30/8/3/3, Nique Clifford had 19/12/4, Maxime Raynaud had another impressive showing, and the defense was excellent outside of a 38-point Chicago blitz in Q2.

13.07.2025 01:56 β€” πŸ‘ 10    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Kings still up over Chicago at halftime, 56-52, but this second quarter was a different story from the first five quarters of Summer League for Sacramento. The defense was not there, especially on the glass; Noa Essengue and Lachlan Olbrich mauled the frontcourt for the Kings in Q2.

Kings up big, 32-14, at the end of Q1. Devin Carter has been night-and-day compared to the first game; he has 13 points on 4-4 from the field and 3-3 from deep, along with a couple of steals. Isaiah Stevens came in and hit a couple of threes, and the team defense was awesome once again.

Quick start for Devin Carter, who is letting it fly early from the perimeter and is active on the defensive end.

8 PTS | 2 REB | 2 STL | 3/3 FG | 2/2 3PT | 4 MIN

Yeah, this is a different Devin Carter today--eight quick points already from him

Here in Cox Pavilion for the second game of Summer League for the Sacramento Kings! Excited to see Raynaud and Clifford show out again; hopefully a bounce-back game for Devin Carter as well.

As everyone anticipated, the loudest moments in Thomas and Mack during the Flagg/Harper game have all been Carter Bryant defensive possessions...he's been sensational

Day Three of Summer League! Mavericks/Spurs on deck; can't wait to see the Flagg/Harper showdown.

Clearly, Kasparas just wants the California Classic back in Sacramento like the rest of us.

I guess Kasparas just isn't a fan of Chase Center--he has 14, 2, and 2 in the first nine minutes of Heat/Hawks. He started a bit slow but has looked fantastic since. Kobe Bufkin has also been impressive here in Thomas and Mack.

11.07.2025 20:56 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Strong start for Kasparas Jakucionis; he looked a bit slow/tentative in the first couple of minutes, but he's starting to look locked in after a nice spin move and finish over Asa Newell followed by a triple.

Over to Thomas and Mack for Heat/Hawks; Hugo had a strong start in the last game, but had to head over to see what's up with Kasparas Jakucionis

Day Two of Summer League! Grizzlies/Celtics to start, hopefully with a healthy dose of Sacramento’s own Jaylen Wells.

Sure, Cooper Flagg might be in the other gym, but I'm not missing my chance to catch DaRon Holmes II's triumphant return to the court.

Kings win their Summer League opener against Orlando, 84-81. Maxime Raynaud had a sensational first half, Nique Clifford and Isaac Jones had great second half performances, Mason Jones was chaos incarnate (in a good way), and the team defense was outstanding all game.

Kings up 59-54 over the Magic after 3. The offense has disappeared with Raynaud having a more muted second half, but the defense has kept them in it. Nique Clifford got to the line and hit a triple to start his Summer League scoring in Q3, but the scoring overall was a struggle.

Who had "Skal Labissiere" for most vicious dunk on Day One of Summer League?

Still feels weird seeing him in a non-Kings uniform

Hoping we'll get to see some Isaac Nogues minutes for the Kings in Q4--with his defensive chops, he'll fit right in with what the Kings have been doing so far in this one.
