[six-string-survivors]

Hey there, SixStringSurvivors. I think I was fourteen when I heard Sloan’s ‘500 Up’ for the first time. I’ve been listening, off and on, ever since. Their 1994 album ‘Twice Removed’ and 1996′s ‘One Chord to Another’ are permanent fixtures in my CD player. (Yes, I still have a CD Player, and it gets regular use. Shut it.) 

This guitar (which I’ll call the “Kiss” guitar, for obvious reasons) has fascinated me for years. There is a lot that’s unique about it. I think I first caught sight of it in Sloan’s music video for ‘Coax Me,’ and it was a live staple for many years (only replaced since maybe 2012 by a white Gibson SG Custom, three-pickup model.) Most often seen in the hands of Sloan songsmith / guitarist Patrick Pentland, after a bit of emailing and contacting Sloan members via social media, Pentland’s bandmate Jay Ferguson wrote back “Hey! It belongs to Chris... he got it many years ago. I believe it’s from early 60s and it’s called a Les Paul Jr. - hope that helps!”

The Chris mentioned is Sloan bassist Chris Murphy, most often seen wielding a 70′s Fender Mustang Competition bass, though it bears mentioning that all four members of Sloan are multi-instrumentalists, and it’s not uncommon for them to swap instruments mid-set. 

The Les Paul Jr., if Jay is indeed correct, narrows down the age of the instrument a little, though there are several oddities worth noting. Jazz guitarist Les Paul did not like the new “Solid Guitar” shape of the redesigned Les Paul Model, which debuted in 1961, and removed his name from it by late 1963. The guitar was then known simply as the Gibson Solid Guitar, or SG. Those SG’s that left the factory with Les’ name on the headstock, such as this one, date from the first two years of production. 

The Les Paul / SG Junior was the logical follow up to the late-50′s single-cut and double-cutaway Les Paul Junior model, which more closely resembled the fabled late-50′s Les Paul goldtops and standards, except without the figured, carved maple tops. Junior models left the factory with a single pickup, and simplified controls of single volume, and single tone. 

Thing is, no early 60′s Les Paul / SG Junior ever left the factory in Kalamazoo with a humbucker, as the Kiss guitar has. Likewise, no ‘stock’ SG ever had a pickguard shaped like the Kiss guitar (though I wish they did! I think it’s a very handsome shape.) The picture from the collage in the bottom left corner is a screen-cap from Sloan’s “The Good in Everyone” video (attached) which is not only a great, rockin’ tune, but there are some great close-ups of the Kiss guitar. 

As you can see, the pickguard has changed over the years, from a battle-scarred black, so worn that it makes me wonder if the pickguard was actually a black-painted piece of white plastic, to what looks to be clear. It’s unclear if there were two pickguards, or if the paint (?) was just removed completely. 

The bridge has changed over the years, too. In the Bottom-left picture (c. 1996) it sports a Wilkinson. or pigtail-style wraparound bridge, whereas in the main picture (c. 2002-3) the bridge appears to be a vintage or reproduction Gibson ‘Lightning Bolt’ as would have come from the factory. It seems the knobs have also been replaced (likely many times, which is common for a guitar that’s seen so much road use.) It would originally have left the Gibson factory with top-hat style knobs with inserts, as in the bottom left photo (though the all-black top-hat style it currently wears became more common from the factory by 1963.) 

Patrick most often plays this guitar pretty dirty, with a pretty thick, overdriven tone vs. Jay’s often cleaner lines. I wish I knew more about which songs it was commonly used on, and from which era of live Sloan performance. But there are plenty of live shows on YouTube from the 90′s to the present that show a wide variety of live setups. What I can say with a level of certainty is that Patrick’s tone seems to come mostly from amp and pedal tone, since there are many live performances where he can play the same song, but use a Fender Telecaster, a Gretsch Duo-Jet, a Hagstrom, or the SG. Those guitars are so varied, the tone has to be in the pedals, amp, and in the fingers. 

In researching this post, I found that the “Kiss” guitar disappears from live performance after about 2012, in favour of a white SG Custom with gold hardware. It’s possible the frets are worn out after 20 years of hard work on the road with Sloan, and 30+ years of existence before that, or it’s possible Patrick merely had a change of taste. 

It’s too bad -- she’s a real looker.

12 Things You did not know about Jimmy Hendrix... 

Jimi Hendrix, arguably the world’s greatest ever guitar hero... 

When he died, he was just twenty-seven-years-old, but in just a few years he expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar to reach areas that no musician had ever ventured to before. We unearth some of Jimi’s tales from beyond the grave.

1.  Born in Seattle, USA, on November 27th 1942, his mother named him John Allen Hendrix and raised him while his father, James “Al” Hendrix, was fighting in World War II. When his father returned from Europe in 1945 he took Jimi home, divorced his wife, and renamed him James Marshall. He didn’t become Jimi Hendrix until he arrived in London in 1966. The Animals’ bassist Chas Chandler, who became his manager, suggested he swap James for Jimi.

2.  He dropped out of High School and enlisted in the Army in May 1959, becoming a member of ‘The Screaming Eagles’ 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, as a trainee paratrooper. Fortunately for music fans everywhere, less than a year later he received a medical discharge after breaking an ankle on his twenty-sixth parachute jump.

3.  His father encouraged his musical talents, buying Jimi his first $5 acoustic guitar when he was fifteen-years-old and setting him on the path to his future vocation. A year later Al purchased his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S.

4.  Jimi worked as a session guitarist under the moniker Jimmy James. By the end of 1965 he had played with several acts, including Ike And Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, The Isley Brothers, and Little Richard. His shows with Little Richard became caught up in a dispute over Jimi’s flashy garb - Richard felt nothing should distract attention away from his star power and so Jimi parted ways to form Jimmy James And The Blue Flames, shedding the role of back-line guitarist for the spotlight of lead guitar.

5.  Desperate to follow in the footsteps of his own British guitar idols, Jimi touched down on British soil on Saturday 24th September, 1966. He arrived at Heathrow at 9am, carrying a small bag with his guitar, a change of clothes, pink plastic hair curlers and a jar of Valderma cream for his acne. Escorting Jimi was Chas Chandler, with whom Jimi had agreed to follow to England only if he promised to introduce him to Eric Clapton, who was at that time with Cream. Within forty-eight hours he would take to the stage for an unprecedented onstage jam with Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

6.  Hendrix’s more outrageous guitar techniques, such as playing with his teeth, behind his back, and without touching the strings, amazed his audiences and contributed to his reputation as a showman. A more subtle unorthodox technique of his, however, was that he played his Fender Stratocaster upside down to accommodate his left-handedness. His left-handed skills were much to the chagrin of his father who believed it was a sign of the Devil.

7.  Jimi’s weapon of choice tended to be a Fender Stratocaster, but he would occasionally play the Gibson SG, Flying V, and Les Paul. On rare occasions he played the Fender Jazzmaster and the Fender Duo-Sonic.

8.  He called his music “electric church” because he believed music was his religion. His belief is put into practice at Seattle’s Experience Music Project, where one room is simply called the Sky Church, a great hall inspired by Jimi’s concept of a place where people of all ages, interests and backgrounds could come together to experience music.

9.  Microsoft co-founder and fellow Seattle native Paul Allen is one of Hendrix’s biggest modern day fans. Disappointed Seattle had no Hendrix shrine, Allen proposed a Hendrix museum at Seattle Center in 1992. Al Hendrix enthusiastically supported the idea, but Allen and the Hendrix family later had a falling out and the museum evolved into the much larger, costlier and more innovative Experience Music Project, designed by Frank Gehry.

1o.  Hendrix and Miles Davis struck up a friendship that was believed to be fraught with “personal issues” in Jimi’s final months. However, Davis agreed to studio time for an advance of $50,000, but the dream duo never came to fruition. Critics believe Jimi became the final inspiration for Miles to renounce the classical forms of jazz, as witnessed in records such as ‘Bitches Brew’ and ‘On The Corner’.

11.  Jimi died on September 18th, 1970. The hours leading up to his untimely death are subject to numerous conspiracy theories due to the confused statements of his partner at the time, Monika Dannemann. A twenty-five-year-old German ice-skater whom he barely knew, the post-mortem revealed that he had vomited in his sleep and choked to death having overdosed on Monika’s sleeping tablets. In search of a full night’s sleep, Jimi asked Monika for some of her powerful German sedatives, Vesparax. Unaware of the half-tablet dosage, Jimi took nine. His reckless mixing of drugs and alcohol had become so commonplace the previous year that his girlfriends regularly woke up to hear him gasping and had to clear his windpipe. Sadly there was no angelic rescue and, aged twenty-seven, he died, six days short of the fourth anniversary of his arrival in London.

12.  His iconic performance of ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock in 1969 was not a symbol of national pride, rather an attack on America’s continued occupation of Vietnam. Seconds before going onstage, Jimi debated whether or not to perform the anthem, as his manager Mike Jeffrey feared it could spark a riot. Jimi ignored his concerns, deciding with the world watching that there was no greater stage to display his disgust and contempt about the war and its reverberations, than with a performance that has become an integral part of American history...    Written by Laurie Watson for Clash

John Stockton, Karl Malone And The Utah Jazz All-Time Starting 5

SALT LAKE CITY – 1997: Karl Malone #32 and John Stockton #12 of the Utah Jazz talk strategy during … [+] a break in NBA game action at the Delta Center circa 1997 in Salt Lake City, Utah. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and/or using this Photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement.

NBAE/Getty Images

With the NBA on hiatus due to the outbreak of COVID-19, scores of fans and analysts have looked to the league’s history for entertainment.

YouTube is loaded with old games and highlights. ESPN is airing two new hours of The Last Dance every Sunday. And Basketball Reference has a seemingly endless well of data to pore over.

In the spirit of looking back, let’s break down who would represent the Utah Jazz at each position for an all-time starting five.

Even though at least two of the selections are no-brainers (John Stockton and Karl Malone, of course), we’ll still provide some objective criteria to fill out the lineup.

If you sort the top 100 in franchise history in wins over replacement player by the average of their ranks in box plus/minus (BPM), wins over replacement player (WORP is the cumulative variant of BPM), win shares per 48 minutes (WS/48), win shares (WS) and player efficiency rating (PER), you get a pretty accurate gauge of who Utah’s all-time best players are.

But before we breakdown each member of the lineup, a word on the numbers. Plenty of hardcore numbers folks are simply out on WS and PER, at this point. A recent update to BPM seems to have gone over well with them.

To sum it up, though, these are the catch-all metrics that are most readily available, go back far enough in history (PER and WS go all the way back to the beginning, while BPM starts at 1973-74) and can be combined across multiple seasons.

Is it a perfect methodology? Of course not. Does it generally pass the sniff test? Sure, which is good enough for exercises like this one.

So, without further ado, here is the all-time starting five of the Jazz:

PG: John Stockton

Again, you knew this one was coming. Using a more involved formula that included playoff numbers, MVP shares and credit for championships, Stockton graded out as the NBA’s 18th-best player since 1973-74, just ahead of Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Garnett, and just behind Karl Malone and James Harden.

Here, he actually finishes ahead of Malone, based mostly on the omission of MVP shares.

And there is a decent argument for the point guard being the greatest player in franchise history. Few (if any) players in the history of the game possessed Stockton’s combination of vision, basketball IQ, skill and grit. He leveraged all of it to become, by far, the league’s all-time leader in both assists and steals.

If the 3,715-assist gap between Stockton’s 15,806 dimes and second place was thrown into the leaderboard as a player, it’d rank 144th all time.

Over a 10-year stretch from 1987-88 to 1996-97, he averaged 15.6 points, 12.8 assists and 2.6 steals, while shooting 52.4% from the field and 39.2% from three. In 1989-90 alone, he averaged 17.2 points and 14.5 assists.

These numbers simply defy explanation.

SG: Jeff Hornacek

He was there for the twilight of his career, but Jeff Hornacek was still an ideal complement to Stockton and Malone over six-plus seasons in Utah.

He averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 assists and 0.9 threes, while shooting 42.8% from three as a member of the Jazz.

During that stretch (1993-94 to 1999-00), Hornacek ranked 29th in the NBA in BPM. And, among players with at least 100 three-point attempts, he was 17th in effective field goal percentage (eFG%).

Flanking that legendary Stockton-and-Malone pick-and-roll with Hornacek’s shooting and playmaking ability made the Jazz a nightmare to defend. Over the course of those seasons, Utah had the best offense in the NBA.

SF: Adrian Dantley

Adrian Dantley’s scoring efficiency is mind-blowing.

Over his seven seasons with the Jazz, he made six All-Star teams, averaged 29.6 points (first in the NBA), eclipsed 30 points per game four times, won two scoring titles, posted a 63.2 true shooting percentage (the league average TS% for those years was 53.7), stood 6’5” and attempted a grand total of 27 threes.

That’s all-time-great center efficiency from a 6’5” wing. When people have discussions about the greatest scorers of all time, he generally doesn’t come up. He probably should. Even if he’s not No. 1, this combination of volume and efficiency deserves a mention.

For his career, Dantley averaged 23.9 points per 75 possessions and had a 61.7 TS%. Stephen Curry and Karl-Anthony Towns are the only players in league history to match or exceed both marks. They, of course, are benefitted by the use of the three.

Dantley’s plus-8.3 relative true shooting (rTS%) percentage tops that of both Curry (plus-7.8) and Towns (plus-6.8).

PF: Karl Malone

And here, of course, is the other obvious selection.

Malone didn’t score quite as efficiently as Dantley, but his longevity was ridiculous. Over a 17 (seventeen)-year stretch from 1986-87 to 2002-03, Malone averaged 26.0 points per game and never dipped below 20 in an individual season. For an 11-year stretch from 1987-88 to 1997-98, he averaged 27.6 points.

That level of scoring for that long is almost unparalleled, which is why he finished his career at No. 2 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

But he wasn’t just a scorer. Malone also averaged 10.1 rebounds and a better-than-people realize 3.6 assists over the course of his 19-year career. And he spread the floor before that was all the rage. From 1996-97 (as far back as play-by-play data goes) to 2002-03 (his last season with the Jazz), Malone took over a third of his shots from the range of 16 feet to the three-point line. And he hit 45.6% of those shots.

As far as duos go, there are few better than Stockton and Malone.

C: Rudy Gobert

After just seven NBA seasons (and only five as the starter), Rudy Gobert is already a fairly predictable result at center.

He’s already sixth in franchise history in WORP and fifth in WS. As for the rate numbers, he’s fifth in BPM, second in WS/48 and fourth in PER.

Over the course of his career, the Jazz are plus-5.6 points per 100 possessions with Gobert on the floor and minus-1.1 with him off.

He’s a two-time Defensive Player of the Year who is also first (by a pretty wide margin) in career TS%.

On top of being one of the most dominant defenders in NBA history, that hyper-efficient offensive game has made Utah better on that end, as well. His rim running draws defenders into the point, creating more space for the perimeter players outside. And any team would love to have his conversion rate on 10-11 scoring possessions per game.

The Overall Top 10

So, there you have it. Stockton, Hornacek, Dantley, Malone and Gobert. Historic juggernauts like the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls probably have that lineup topped, but it likely has an argument against most other organizations.

And, assuming all five are at the peak of their powers, this group would make sure things weren’t easy for the aforementioned powerhouses.

Now, if you’re curious what the rest of Utah’s top 10 looks like, I have you covered:

John Stockton

Karl Malone

Adrian Dantley

Rudy Gobert

Andrei Kirilenko

Jeff Hornacek

Carlos Boozer

Deron Williams

Paul Millsap

Derrick Favors

Enjoy debating whether any of the above should’ve made the cut.

The 18 Players To Watch During the 2019 FIBA World Cup

Much of the discussion regarding the 2019 FIBA World Cup was surrounded by who *wasn’t* going to play in the tournament. As star after star elected not to play for Team USA and various other countries around the world, interest began to wane for this tournament. But, like Lupe Fiasco once said, the show goes on. And as the show goes on, not only will the hoops be worth watching, but there are still some big-time and interesting players worth watching in the competition. Some may be superstars; some may not even be in the NBA. But all 18 players listed are worth watching all the same during the FIBA World Cup this summer.

Giannis Antetokounmpo SF Milwaukee Bucks (Greece): Well, duh. Giannis is the reigning NBA MVP and real-life human cheat code. He’s got the box office appeal to watch the FIBA World Cup, but I’m putting him here for different reasons. He still has areas to improve upon his game, as he let us know when he told ESPN he is (frighteningly) at just 60% of his potential. How can he fulfill that last 40%? By adding a reliable jump shot or post-game to his repertoire. Per NBA.com, last season, while Giannis shot 69.3% from shots within 0-8 feet, he struggled shooting elsewhere, shooting 30% on shots outside of 8 feet. You could see that rear it’s head last season in the playoffs once Kawhi Leonard took away Giannis’ drives since he didn’t have an effective jump shot to keep him honest. I’ll be watching to see if there is any progress on his shot and its mechanics during the World Cup. 

But, that isn’t all. Though it has become a bit antiquated in today’s NBA, I think Giannis would benefit from adding a post-game to his bag. Milwaukee surrounds him with shooting, and he typically does not get guarded by centers not named Al Horford or Joel Embiid because those brutes typically cannot contain him on the perimeter. With his massive size and length, he often is defended by guys smaller than him with the goal of trying (keyword: trying) to take his dribble away. With a spread floor and a smaller defender, I’d like to see if he could improve on his post-game during the World Cup. Last regular season, Giannis scored 0.99 points per possession on post-ups, ranking in the 63rd percentile of the NBA. That’s good, not great. However, in the playoffs, that number fell to 0.73 points per possession on post-ups, which ranked in the 43rd percentile of players in the playoffs. That is… not good. Certainly, it’s an area Giannis could improve upon. What better way to incorporate that into your game than against live competition in the World Cup?

Giannis is a top-five player in the league. He very much deserved his MVP last year. He’s told us he can still get better. Flashing improvements in these areas could give us an indicator he’s ready to take *another* leap and a possibility he could carry Greece toward a gold medal.

Nikola Jokic C Denver Nuggets (Serbia): Again, duh. Who wouldn’t want to watch the Joker? Big Honey is arguably the best passer in the NBA who is an MVP candidate. From the FIBA World Cup tournament perspective as a whole, Jokic legitimately can lead Serbia to a gold medal. From the Team USA perspective, the Americans had troubles with the big trio of Andrew Bogut, Aron Baynes, and Jock Landale, who, are not nearly as good as Jokic, to put it nicely. Serbia has the second-best player in the tournament whose toughest opponent is light on size. Jokic is fun, to begin with, but he could really make himself a marquee name with the gold medal, something that is certainly more than plausible.

Donovan Mitchell SG Utah Jazz (USA): There may not be anybody more intriguing on Team USA than Donovan Mitchell. Both Bill Simmons and Brian Windhorst (while chatting on ‘The Bill Simmons Podcast’ had heard that Mitchell, in particular, was among the many in Team USA camp who stood out whose light shined brightest. Similarly to Jokic, the World Cup is a bright stage for Mitchell to cement himself as one of the premier faces in the NBA since he doesn’t get that type of national or global exposure with few nationally televised games playing in Utah. Though it is easier to become get that type of exposure nowadays with social media, a strong showing could raise Mitchell’s budding stardom (and signature Adidas shoe) to another level.

But I’m not all that interested in that. That will likely come for Mitchell regardless. I want to see him improve his efficiency as a scorer. Like with this Team USA squad, he won’t be asked to carry a heavy offensive burden like he has been forced to do in his first two years in Utah. Last season, Mitchell ranked 7th in the NBA with a 30.9% usage rate. The year prior as a rookie? He had a 28.3% usage rate. That’s led to Mitchell posting roughly below-average effective field goal percentages his first two seasons, per Basketball-Reference. Where could Mitchell improve to boost up those percentages? How about improving his 2-point efficiency? In the first couple of seasons of his career, he has shot 34% and 36.2% on roughly seven three-point attempts per game. While not the greatest efficiency, the numerous attempts, many of them tough and contested, indicate Mitchell is a more than capable shooter from deep. However, Mitchell shot below 50% from every level below the three-point line. He shot only 46.8% from 2 last season, a decrease from 50.2% his rookie season. Playing more off-ball with Mike Conley heading to Utah will help Mitchell drastically next season, and he’ll gain experience playing more off-ball with Team USA. If Mitchell can show he’s poised for a leap, the talk of Utah as serious championship contenders will become all the more legitimate. His time with Team USA could be a precursor for that jump.

Kemba Walker PG / Jaylen Brown SG / Jayson Tatum SF / Marcus Smart PG Boston Celtics (USA): Last year’s Boston Celtics team hated each other. I think that was pretty obvious to see later in the playoffs once Kyrie Irving torpedoed any last chance they had against the Bucks after a season full of turbulence that was not *all* Kyrie’s doing but played a big part in. Getting Kemba Walker alleviates the loss of Kyrie. Their numbers and games are more similar than not and Walker is generally more regarded as a leader and teammate than Kyrie was last year as a Celtic. However, the Celtics lost Al Horford, their versatile big man who could fix any hole that presented itself. In his place, the Celtics signed… Enes Kanter. The defensive drop off is more drastic than any cliff Wile E. Coyote fell off of. 

To ease the blow of losing Al Horford and fix the chemistry disaster of last season, Boston will need it’s two dynamic young wings in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to take a step. They, along with Donovan Mitchell, were mentioned to be looking great in camp on the aforementioned Bill Simmons Podcast with Brian Windhorst. Both will be playing roles on Team USA they were hesitant and/or unwilling to fill last season. Playing these roles and getting a head start on chemistry will only help not just Team USA’s chances, but the Boston Celtics’ as well. We know Kemba will provide scoring the same way Isaiah Thomas and Kyrie Irving brought it for Brad Stevens’ squad. We know Marcus Smart will do his glue-guy thing. But for the Celtics to raise the ceiling for their season (which, in my opinion, is last season’s floor because of the loss of Horford), Tatum and Brown will have to raise their games. I have liked what I have seen from them defensively in Team USA’s scrimmages vs Australia. Boston will need that effort from them as well as the scoring punch they flashed in the 2018 playoffs. It’s in them somewhere. Hopefully, their time with Team USA will help get harnessed onto the NBA stage as well.

Myles Turner C Indiana Pacers (USA) & Domantas Sabonis PF/C Indiana Pacers (Lithuania): Though these two will not be playing together during the World Cup, these two big men likely will be starting together for the Pacers this season now that Thad Young and Bojan Bogdanovic left for Chicago and Utah, respectively. Turner is a career 36.3% three-point shooter, though shot a career-high 38.8% last season on a career-high 2.6 attempts per game. Sabonis shoots 34.3% from 3 for his career, but only shoots less than one shot per game for his career. For this duo to work, at least one (maybe both) will have to get comfortable not only making threes but taking a heavy amount of them (I’d bet on Turner becoming that guy). Defensively, Turner is among the best bigs in the league and has/will find himself in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation for years to come. Sabonis is not the most agile big on the perimeter but can hold his ground enough. Last season, Indiana had a +3.4 Net Rating when Turner and Sabonis shared the floor together. Indiana’s defense with those two on the floor would’ve been the best in the NBA. Their offense with those two on the floor… would’ve been the worst in the NBA. The East is up for the taking. Indiana is on the periphery of that conversation behind Milwaukee and Philadelphia (but in it for sure), but could really make things interesting if these two can complement each other more gracefully offensively.

Bogdan Bogdanovic SG Sacramento Kings (Serbia): I’ve already mentioned Serbia can win this World Cup. If they do, not just Jokic, but Bogdan Bogdanovic will play a big part in that. What makes Bogdanovic interesting to watch is he could be auditioning for a future team. Though the NBA salary cap is projected to increase from $109 million to $117 million, Sacramento may have to choose between Bogdanovic and Buddy Hield, both of whom will be restricted free agents next summer in a less than inspiring free-agent class, Anthony Davis aside. Sacramento already has $104.5 million locked up for next year’s team. De’Aaron Fox will extension-eligible next summer and Marvin Bagley III and Harry Giles III the summer after that. Bogdanovic is a better playmaker than Buddy Hield, but Hield is a superior shooter who enjoyed a breakout season last season. Unless Sacramento doesn’t mind paying the luxury tax for a team that isn’t in title contention or they can shed some of the salary they signed this summer, they likely will have to choose between one of these two guards. My guess would be that Sacramento re-signs Hield over Bogdanovic. BB8 (a truly great Star Wars-NBA nickname) is a really good player who can help just about any team. A good showing in China could allow Sacramento to sell high on Bogdanovic between now and the trade deadline.

Josh Okogie SG Minnesota Timberwolves (Nigeria): Josh Okogie burst onto the NBA scene last season for his stout defense, most notably when he engulfed one of James Harden’s signature step-back threes. With defense already a firm part of Okogie’s game, I want to see him improve on his offensive game. While Okogie is not a guard who has the ball in his hands creating offense, it would be nice to see him do a little more of that for his Nigerian National team, though I’m not expecting a lot of that. At the very least, I want to see Okogie shoot well from deep. He shot just 27.9% from deep in his rookie campaign. Playing more off-ball, Okogie has to hone in his catch-and-shoot jump shots from three. On 2.5 catch-and-shoot attempts per game last season, he shot just 29.4% on such shots last season, per NBA.com. If his three-ball improves, Okogie could make Andrew Wiggins all the more expendable and help Minnesota be better than people expect them to be (I personally expect Minnesota to compete for one of the last playoff spots in the West a la New Orleans, Dallas, and Sacramento, among the scrappy young teams in the West). He’s a three-ball away from becoming the epitome of a 3-and-D player the NBA is bending over backward trying to find. Hopefully, we see some glimpses during the World Cup.

Rui Hachimura PF Washington Wizards (Japan): Rui Hachimura was one of the more polarizing non-injured draft prospects in this 2019 class. I personally was not as high on him as Washington apparently was, but, I think he still can be a very good pro. A tighter handle, more comfort from three (he only took 76 threes during his three-year career at Gonzaga), perimeter defense and more comfort making plays for others would go a long way for Rui to add to his scoring ability. He’s *the* guy for the Japanese national team. He’ll get plenty of attention from opposing defenses. I’m really curious to see how he handles it and if he can not only rise above it but make his teammates better because of it. If he doesn’t, that’s not the end of the world either, for him or any other young player in this competition. He’s still super young and a late bloomer as someone who did not play a lot of basketball growing up. But it’s always great to see a progression in a young player’s game.

Boban Marjanovic C Dallas Mavericks (Serbia): Here’s over nine minutes of Boban Marjanovic highlights. Who doesn’t love Boban? Everyone loves Boban. You can never get enough Boban in your life. Never!

Frank Ntilikina PG New York Knicks (France): France has a lot of marquee players playing for its national team, Rudy Gobert and Nicolas Batum chief among them. But perhaps none of them have more to prove than Ntilikina. Frankie Smokes has never been able to find his footing in New York and now doesn’t seem to have a place in New York’s present or future after the acquisitions of Dennis Smith Jr. and Elfrid Payton. Ntilikina could really use a strong showing to make someone believe in him as an NBA guard, whether it is the Knicks or someone else. He *just* turned 21 this July. I think it’s too early to write the book on Ntilikina’s NBA career. Playing well in China would help get his career back on track.

Bruno Caboclo SF Memphis Grizzlies (Brazil): I’m sorry, I can’t get enough of Fran Fraschilla telling us on draft day 2014 that Bruno was ‘two years away from being two years away.’ While Bruno will likely never be the ‘Brazilian Kevin Durant’ he was mythologically prophesized to be, he’s settled himself as the Brazillian Jerami Grant at least! That’s still fun! Bruno has found a home in Memphis. He’s still only 23 years old and shot 36.9% from deep on a career-high 3.8 three-point attempts per game in his 34 games as a Grizzly. He’s still very long and athletic, suited to guard almost every position in today’s position-less NBA. He’s more than just a funny line now. The man can play, as evidenced when he gave the Oklahoma City Thunder a 24 point, 11 rebound double-double performance. He’ll be fun running with Ja Morant in Memphis. He should be fun in China too.

Andrew Nembhard PG Florida Gators (Canada): I highlighted a rookie earlier in Rui Hachimura, now we get our first college prospect. Andrew Nembhard contemplated entering the NBA Draft after his freshman season in Gainesville but elected to come back for his sophomore season. He’s sort of a Fred VanVleet type of guard. He’s not flashy, but he’s solid. Playing well in China could boost his draft stock and lead to big things for what will be a very good Florida team. He’s worth watching.

Isaac Bonga SF/PG Washington Wizards (Germany): Isaac Bonga is a really intriguing prospect. As a Laker fan, I called him ‘Baby Ingram’ because he has long strides and has a pretty good ability to pass and playmake off the dribble. He’s just super raw. He needs as many reps as he can get. Getting reps in this competition will be great for him.

Marcos Louzada-Silva SG New Orleans Pelicans (Brazil): We highlighted Brazilian Jerami Grant in Caboclo already. How about Brazilian Josh Hart? That’s a comparison Marcos Louzada-Silva got coming into the draft before the Pelicans, the team that traded for Josh Hart (an NBA Spider-Man meme!) selected him in the second round of the 2019 Draft. He likely will be stashed overseas for the first year or two of his career. I’m interested to see what he has before he comes into the league.
