10 Best Performances of the Night (10/2/17)

By
Welcome back to the Top Performances of the Night. Here are the top 10 performers from last night's NBA preseason games.

Jodie Meeks

Starting off the list we have Jodie Meeks. During the Washington Wizards' victory over the Chinese Basketball Association's Guangzhou Long-Lions, Meeks came off the bench but made the most of his 16 minutes of game time. Meeks put up a team-high 19 points on 7/9 (78%) shooting and 4/5 (80%) from three-point range, while also grabbing 2 steals along the way.

Jeremy Lamb

Like Meeks, Jeremy Lamb came off the bench during the Charlotte Hornets' loss to the Boston Celtics and also led his team in scoring. Lamb put up 17 points on 6/10 shooting and 2/4 three-point shooting, while also adding 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal to his resume.

Jarell Martin

Remember when I called Jarell Martin trash on my list of players who could break out? I was wrong...at least, for this game I was. Coming off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies' win over the Orlando Magic, Martin put up 16 points on 7/8 (88%) shooting and also recorded 4 rebounds, an assist, and a steal.

Rashad Vaughn

The Milwaukee Bucks lost a close game to the Dallas Mavericks last night, but Rashad Vaughn got in a good stat line for himself. Coming off the bench, Vaughn put up a team-high 20 points on 8/18 shooting (44%) and went 3/8 (38%) from three-point range. Additionally, Vaughn grabbed 2 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, and recorded 3 steals

Rudy Gobert

Coming off a season where he was a serious Defensive Player of the Year candidate, Rudy Gobert put up a solid stat line in his preseason debut. For the game, Gobert scored 15 points on 7/9 (78%) shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double. Gobert also recorded a block as he helped the Utah Jazz defeat the National Basketball League's Sydney Kings.

Rodney Hood

Gobert's teammate Rodney Hood also had a solid performance in the Jazz's win over the Sydney Kings. Hood recorded 17 points on 7/10 shooting and went 4/6 (67%) from three-point range while also dishing out an assist and grabbing 2 steals.

Frank Mason III

One of two Sacramento Kings rookies on this list, the 34th pick Frank Mason III had a solid game last night in the Kings' win over the San Antonio Spurs. Coming off the bench, Mason put up 17 points on 5/10 shooting and 2/4 three-point range. Along with that, the 6 foot Mason grabbed an impressive 6 rebounds while also dishing out an assist.

De'Aaron Fox

The second Kings rookie on the list is the 5th overall pick, De'Aaron Fox. Coming off the bench, Fox put up 16 points on 7/8 (88%) shooting while also recording a rebound, 2 assists, a steal, and a block.

Gary Harris

Yesterday, Gary Harris stood out above the rest as he had a huge scoring night in the Denver Nuggets' win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Harris put up a game-high 25 points on 8/11 (73%) shooting while also going 5/7 (71%) from three-point range. To top it off, Harris added 2 rebounds, an assist, and a steal to his stat line.

Kyle Kuzma

Rounding out the list we have Kyle Kuzma, a player I've talked about multiple times on this blog. After his strong showing two days ago, Kuzma continued his hot streak in the Lakers' loss to the Nuggets. Kuzma came off the bench and put up a team-high 23 points on 9/17 (53%) shooting, going 4/9 (44%) from three-point range in the process. Kuzma also recorded a rebound and 2 assists to round out his impressive stat line.

SHOCKING! Trail Blazers' Zach Collins Has No Racist Tweets From Past

By
UPDATE: Scratch that. He actually does In wake of the recent scandals involving Major League Baseball players and offensive tweets from their pasts, the basketball world was shocked to discover that Zach Collins of the Portland Trail Blazers did not have any racists posts on his Twitter account from before he was a professional basketball player. As first discovered by Twitter user Xavier Pousey, better known by his Twitter handle @KingCollison4, the former Gonzaga player's Twitter account contained a surprising lack of offensive tweets from his high school days. "He was really just wishing all his friends happy birthday, it wasn't what I was expecting at all," said Pousey when reached for comments by the Basketball Section. "He tweeted about School of Rock not being on Netflix once...that's all I've got." Pousey, a Panda Express employee by day and a Nick Collison fan account administrator by night, initially looked into Collins' Twitter ...

The Best Undrafted NBA Player From Each Year Since 2000

By
Most of us have probably felt the disappointment of not being picked for a sports team in high school. Now imagine that, only the selection process is on national television, all your friends & family are with you waiting for a call that's never coming, and you have to watch as everyone else in the pool is picked over you, and that's probably how it feels to go undrafted. Every year, hundreds of college athletes declare for the draft with the hopes of going pro in their sport of choice. However, with a limited number of draft selections available, not all of them will make the cut and find themselves on a team by the end of the draft. The NBA is no stranger to this, as with only 60 picks in each draft, plenty of prospects go undrafted each year. That's not to say that someone's NBA dreams are dead if they don't get picked, as plenty of undrafted players from various draft classes end up making it to the NBA, with some even having lengthy, successful careers for ...

10 Rarest Jersey Numbers in NBA History

By
Michael Jordan's #23. Larry Bird's #33. Both of Kobe Bryant's #8 and #24 jerseys. All of them are some of the most iconic numbers in the history of the NBA. However, not every number gets the same amount of love that heavily used numbers like #3, #11, or #20. The numbers on this list are so infrequently used that only one player has ever worn them in an NBA game. Now, there are a couple of ground rules for this list. First off, along with the NBA, ABA and BAA uniform numbers will also count in this. For example, Taj Gibson was the first NBA player to wear #67, but thanks to Moe Becker in 1947 also wearing it in the BAA, you won't be seeing #67 here. Second, numbers that have never been used won't be here, so there won't be a #58, #64, or a #69, even though I'm told that last one would be nice. And finally, there are a few numbers I haven't included, those being #07 and #09. Those aren't typos, as the Rochester Royals issued both #07 and #09 to Paul N...
