SAN FRANCISCO — Not that Draymond Green needs a reason to play with an edge, but he’s found one. He’s playing center almost exclusively this season, and Green believes that requires another level of aggression from him for the Warriors to be successful. If bodies have to hit the floor in that mission, so be it. “There are some (fouls) at that position that you’ve just gotta take in order to command the respect that you need in order to own the paint,” Green said after Golden State’s 120-100 w...

Walker Kessler is having more of an impact than it looks

Silver Screen and RollOutlet infoNBA logoNBA
Analysis

Since the Lakers acquired Walker Kessler over the summer, most of the conversation regarding his play, and subsequent impact, has been tied to the cost paid to land him. The multiple years and millions of dollars, the draft picks and swaps, each have served as footnotes after every game thus far. While fair given what the Lakers need from him going forward, it has also put increased emphasis on his raw production rather than influence. If you’re into that kind of thing, Kessler’s per-game num...

Khaman Maluach is not ready to be savior the Suns need (and won't be for years)

Reddit r/sunsNBA logoNBA

I think the only way Maluach will develop more is by playing him and the players in the same lineup finding and feeding him in his comfort zones. Going down to the G-League won't help because it'll just be the wrong players feeding him. In defense it'd help if teammates were watching and boxing out their assignment so man man doesn't have to turn away from his player to guard someone else. You can't have a raw rookie big trying to follow the ball around the court, and not have consequences. s...
