The first of many to come, my scouting report on the most underrated underclassmen and a lottery caliber prospect: Dailyn Swain

I dive into his evolution from his time in the EYBL to Xavier: evaluating his tape, biomechanics and advanced stats

Closeout Creation: The Fulcrum Of NBA Offenses | Swish Theory Picture this: a defender scrambling to recover, a shooter with just enough daylight, and the crowd rising in anticipation. That fleeting moment—a closeout—opens up a range of unique possibilities to g...

On “closeout creation,” from Roshan Potluri: theswishtheory.com/2025-nba-dra...

Featuring:
• Cooper Flagg, Duke
• Jase Richardson, Michigan State
• Labaron Philon, Alabama
• Noah Penda, Le Mans
• Xaivian Lee, Princeton

More Noah Penda 2005 🇫🇷 love

"To thrive as a spot-up player in the modern NBA, a player must:

possess shooting gravity to command defensive attention off the catch.
have driving and handling tools to react to hard closeouts.
have the feel to pass and extend the play into a higher-quality shot"

My first piece of the 2025 NBA Draft Cycle is here!

I dived into NBA closeout creation and it’s importance while exploring 5 prospects in this draft class:

◆ Cooper Flagg
◆ Jase Richardson
◆ Noah Penda
◆ Labaron Philon
◆ Xaivian Lee

Thomas Sorber is off to a historic start, stuffing the boxscore and dominating on both ends of the court for someone his age.

Georgetown’s faced only one T-100 team so far. Is Sorber’s production sustainable for the rest of the season or a product of weaker competition?

At this point, I would definitely take him in the top 5 and he's one of the best guard prospects in this class to me

Jase Richardson is a player I think could be one of the best players from the NBA 2025 Draft Class if he gets more usage at Michigan State

He's been a high-level driver with a strong intersection of touch, feel, and burst since his pre-NCAA days, and it shows at MSU

6’9” Freshman Jacob Cofie:

He’s been fantastic in a play-finishing role for Virginia, both from the perimeter and the rim, but his pre-NCAA tape shows he’s got a bit more to showcase off the catch

Could be a lottery prospect if his current production holds up

Bilal Coulibaly: A Star is Born | Swish Theory What do you know about nothobranchius furzeri? If your answer is “Nothing, Charlie. What the hell are you talking about?” congratulations—you know as much as I did when I wrote this. Nothobranchius fu...

Love this from @klaytheist.bsky.social on Bilal Coulibaly’s breakout (including an unexpected comp) theswishtheory.com/nba/2024/11/...

17-year old Cooper Flagg being able to bump and create separation against 230-pound Andrew Carr is just a prime example of his functional strength

Soft touch around the rim gets the ball in against a good contest
