With 7-foot-2 Zvonimir Ivisic committing to Kentucky today here’s a look back at his 2022 pro day footage in Chicago. He’s coming off an outstanding showing at the FIBA U18 European Championship with Croatia a few weeks ago @DraftExpress report >> dx.im/Ivisic-Kentucky

Keegan Murray’s off the bounce game has made strides since the end of his rookie season with the Kings. Hit some tough shots + attacked the hoop (13/15 FT) on the way to 41 PTS (11/20 FG) in a win. 4 BLKS too. Ready for more responsibility in his second year in Sacramento

Jalen Hood-Schifino’s slashing, finishing with both hands, vision and passing were on display in his second game with the Lakers at the California Classic. Dropped 20 points on 8/17 shooting, dished 4 assists, grabbed 3 boards and swiped a steal

Brandin Podziemski with 17 PTS (7/14 FG), 5 STLS, 4 REBS + 1 AST in 26 MINS during GSW’s 98-83 win over the Hornets. Showed his tremendous defensive instincts, made 2 3s + had some creative off the bounce moves. Gritty player who does so many things that contribute to winning

Solid summer league debut for Brandin Podziemski, who finished with 12 points (4/9 FG), 6 ASTS + 6 REBS in GSW’s 100-94 loss to the Kings at the California Classic. Podziemski is a 6-foot-5 and 20-year-old combo guard who will be able to handle bench minutes early in his career

Keyonte George turned in a well-rounded effort in his summer league debut with 18 PTS (7/16 FG) to go with 5 REBS, 4 ASTS (1 TO) + 3 STLS in a team-high 31 MINS of action in a Jazz loss to the Thunder in Salt Lake City. Utah swiped the Baylor one-and-done 16th in the 2023 draft

No surprise that Chet Holmgren had to shake off some early rust but still finished with 15 PTS (6/14 FG), 9 REBS, 4 BLKS and 2 ASTS in 29 MINS in a win vs. the Jazz in his first action since injuring his foot last summer. 2nd pick in the 2022 draft is still just 21-years-old

Jaime Jaquez burst onto the summer league scene with 22 PTS in 22 MINS in his first appearance w/ Miami, who beat LA 107-90. Showed his explosiveness in the open court, savvy P&R shot creation, touch + hit 3 3s. Well-rounded, experienced, competitive + skilled at 6-7 + 22 y/o

With Joel Embiid officially the 2022-23 NBA MVP here’s a look back at some of his thoroughly impressive 2014 pro day workout courtesy of @DraftExpress before he was picked 3rd out of Kansas. Embiid averaged a league-leading + career-high 33.1 PPG as he led the 76ers to the 3-seed

“I love the game. I love to play. I love to compete. That’s as much as it is. When you say basketball I want to play. I want to win…” ~ Before Jimmy Butler was a NBA superstar he was a gritty prospect out of Marquette who was grinding to be drafted back in 2011 @DraftExpress
