The first winners of the 2022-23 NBA season: the Boston Celtics. Months removed from a Finals loss, the Celtics are back and searching for a return to the Promised Land. Except, they want a win this time. The Celtics have a bright outlook for this season, and the first game of their season showed that. Let’s start with the obvious — Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are special. At 24 and 25 years old, these two are not going away. They’re both tough shot makers who can just get hot at any point....

Victor Wembanyama has been trending on social media for years to this point. He’s been the prospective GOAT (or near that) prospect since he first found himself in draft discussions. His combination of size and skill makes him generational: there’s no argument otherwise. With Kevin Durant-like pull-up shooting and shot creation and Rudy Gobert-esque interior defense, Wembanyama’s potential is GOAT level. If he can stay healthy, there’s little reason to believe that he isn’t a future MVP. The ...

0-4: The Los Angeles Lakers record. Man, that’s rough. The easy, glaring question is why, and what comes after that is who does the blame fall on? It’s simply lazy analysis to point out a single individual on the Lakers and say this start is on him. Instead, this start is because of poor roster construction and play to begin the season.As many predicted, the Lakers are going through a rough patch, with an 0-4 start to the season.The most glaring, obvious stat to look at for the Lakers start i...

The Golden State Warriors have been at the top of the NBA news over the past week. This was not because the preseason has just started, and the Warriors are the defending champions. No, certainly not that. Rather, the Jordan Poole and Draymond Green fiasco -- so to say. Leaked footage of fight: The Warriors have elected not to suspend Green. For better or worse, the Warriors will have to deal with the consequences of the fight and the following leak of it in the locker room. Rumors of a trade...

With teams about 15 games into their respective seasons, organizations’ identities are being shaped, and goals are being made. They’re getting a feel for their roster, including both strengths and weaknesses. Along with this, players who were acquired this past summer are finding their fit alongside new teammates. This past summer’s free agency movement was not one filled with star-studded names, but it still included notable role players signing to new teams and finding new homes. With that ...

An annual tradition, ESPN has been releasing its top 100 players list over the course of the week. Also an annual tradition is the criticism of this list, as it always tends to bring up question marks about what the staff at ESPN are thinking when putting the list together. Some players find themselves clearly too high; some too low. Some even missed the list (Digits doesn’t forget you, Bojan Bogdanovic, Dorian Finney-Smith, Gary Trent Jr., & more). Here’s some of the worst rankings on the ES...

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution is perhaps the most widely acknowledged scientific theory ever. Well, what’s the cool part of it when you’re not a scientist? It can apply to basketball. Over the past decade, the rise of the three-pointer has become the most revolutionary shot in NBA history. Credit for its evolution has mainly been given to Stephen Curry for this ridiculous breakout, and understandably so. He put on the greatest shooting clinic ever in the from the 2012-13 season to the ...

During the preseason, teams have devolved from playing their top players a high amount of minutes. Understandably so, there is no reason to risk injury for a part of the season that truly does not matter. Additionally, teams can hold up to 20 players on their roster during this time of the year, so coaches and front offices are trying to find their gems and diamonds in the rough. Still, playing well in preseason is still a positive sign. Before Zion Williamson even made his regular season deb...
