[thetenthsunrise]

there is something objectively hilarious to me about the fact that kaladin stormblessed is, indeed, almost seven feet tall

[jrueships]

Ted's omegaverse alignments but not really horny, i just think collabing concepts is neat.

READ ABOVE if u haven't the lore of the world. It's long like this so i can summarize a reminder of some of the terms real quick before we start the list:

ROIDing: can be used by omegas, betas, or alphas to change your status into either an omega, beta, or alpha. Can be a combination, like taking hard rut inducers and hard heat suppressors for an omega to go to a beta status, and can be doubled for an omega to even go as an alpha, although that jump is rare as it's quite the turmoil psychologically and not all minds might be up for the task or temper. Heat inducers and rut suppressors can turn a beta or an alpha into the categories listed below itself on the hierarchy. Anybody can use anything, and anybody can be anything.

WHICH MEANS.. anybody can top or bottom anybody. Omegas can top Alphas, betas, etc. Betas can top Alphas, Alphas can top Alphas. Omega does NOT equal bottom, and it doesn't equal Small either. Although different players take the dynamics differently though. It's Very rare for an alpha to Admit being in a relationship with an omega or beta if they feel like it goes against the usual Alpha relationship grain. There's a certain tension that always follows with freedom

Anyways, let's get right to it. PART 1 because i don't have the time to include EVERYONE rn and i probably won't bcs i don't know know everyone and don't wanna get stuff wrong so. Use ur own interpretation! This is a very open assignment that let's you be the judge in the end! Have fun! Ask questions or give feedback, im happy to hear it! I just love concepts tbh, that's all i rlly wanna do with this. The most will be little stories to go with this world. I'll reblog with more ppl LATER!!!

Michael Jordan: an ALPHA who (supposedly) PRESENTED very, very LATE. No one is exactly sure when he presented. Even Michael's story changes from before getting cut in highschool to after to college to the 'flu' game. But Everyone, at one point, thought he was going to be a beta. ( His siblings laugh at this. ) And then he wasn't. And then he won. And then he became a dictator. After Dennis announced being an omega who ROIDed to even an alpha status, distrust spread to every alignment, no matter how high. An omega becoming an alpha was rare, but now possible thanks to Dennis's admittance. It takes a certain strength, dedication, and insanity to undergo all the medicine, but someone competitive and desperate enough to do it could. Someone like Michael Jordan. Michael merely smirks whenever asked, which is quite Often. Those around him gag at his powerful cigar smoke scent, enough to overwhelm any alpha to their knees. Before his fame, he was quieter, more contained. He did his own laundry, knitted his own clothes, because no one wants a man without a secondary nature. When his alpha nature was finally announced, he stopped smiling and started smirking.

Allen Iverson, an ALPHA who was known to take protecting and providing for the pack a little too seriously. Like Isiah, his status as an alpha was highly doubted due to size. Unlike Isiah, his independent dominance humbled the doubting media time and time again, ultimately trailblazing in the NBA and expanding the game's personal freedom through his refusal to cave into other's wants or needs if he found disagreement. Unfortunately, his hard-headed strengths would also serve as some of his weaknesses, giving some alpha traditionalists confidence to nag on his struggles with finances and championships, always bringing up how a Real alpha would never. For a select few, no matter what Iverson did or didn't, he would never be ‘alpha enough’ to them all over something as silly as height. AI just finds the thought comical, he's probably taller than 50% of those alpha Truist freaks, and he knows for damn sure that he's 101% cooler than all those motherfuckers combined. He doesn't care if they don't think he's an alpha with all of their highly-opinionated evidence, people have hated on him out of basic bitch jealousy his whole damn life. Other people have never changed his mind, and other people never will. If he says he's wearing cornrows, he's wearing cornrows. If he says he's buying everyone everything, shieet, he's buying everyone everything! If he says he's getting a tattoo, he's getting a tattoo. If he says he's an alpha, he's a Fucking alpha. Argue with the wall.

Charles Barkley: ALPHA. hilarious and prickly, perhaps too prickly at times, can be his own downfall from either sheer laziness or stubbornness. Example of how just being an alpha isn't an automatic win in life like some alpha fanboys or egoists might try to persuade

Wilt Chamberlain: ALPHA. was a great player, but personality-wise? .... other alphas like Kareem butted heads with him..

Kareem: ALPHA. Even betas like Magic would then butt heads with Kareem. Standoffish, he tries to keep his distance even from his team due to the stigma of alphas being violent always following him especially because of his height and looks. Even in childhood. Distrustworthy of everyone because of deep-rooted trauma

Isiah Thomas: ALPHA. defends his team and their troubles like a bull, oftentimes a hypocritical.. near-sighted bull. Alpha status is often questioned because of his height. Many think Bill is the real alpha and Isiah is the beta. Those that have the pleasure (or displeasure, as Michael would say), stand firm on their stance that Yes, Isiah is an alpha. Unfortunately, you can really tell. Very protective of his team, especially of Dennis Rodman/omegas in general. Thinks the Bulls are bad for Dennis and doubts Michael’s way of ruling. The Bulls, in his opinion, are too hands-off and don't feel like the kind of loving pack a team is meant to be. Very maternal to his team, which doesn't help his beta questioning case, but everyone close to him vouches his alpha assurance with an annoyed strength. Rumored to have been heard asking if Magic took too much of a specific, unnamed medicine during his sickness, which sprung a lot of people into a panic of whether or not Magic Really is a beta or a ROIDed beta. Isiah firmly denies ever saying this, but Magic believes otherwise even though he’s forgiven him. When questioned about Michael’s status (is he Really an alpha who presented late, or is there ROIDing in the case), Isiah huffed, narrowed thick angry brows, and stated in a high and mighty voice how that's really none of his business, no matter how annoying Michael may be to him.

Larry Bird: ALPHA. Competitive. And fucking Rude. Left baseball even though he was good at it because he was bored with the minutes he was getting. Needs the ball and will clutch the most unexpected games as his form of thanking the coach. Magic is his favorite teasing victim. A famous quote

A reporter rooting around for drama: so, Larry, with all this ROIDing and SUPPRESSOR stuff going around thanks to that weirdo, Rodman, is there anyone you know is using? Like, anyone.. you're close with? Magic’s been under the weather, I heard. Could be a bad side effect of ROIDing.. he smell funny to you?

Larry, cracking open a beer by squeezing the sides until it popped: Magic is Magic.

And refused to elaborate, as he casually turned away and started to play basketball. The camera crew left out of fear for their equipments’ safety when Bird ‘accidentally’ let the ball rebound into a lens.

Bill Laimbeer: BETA who will beat the breaks off anyone. People are surprised for his violence, except for Isiah, who lovingly regales it as Bill's best job. Notably not a big peacemaker for a beta. Just a guy who comes in and plays hard. Not here to be a coddler like other betas were brought on to do or a media darling like Alphas. “I'm here to play basketball and piss people off. Speaking off, hey, Larry” “fuck you, Bill.” Known as The Odd Couple whenever him and Isiah are together, which they often are. In Dennis's book, he regards Bill to be surprisingly cold for a beta, and that Isiah would always be the one to tutor him instead. He only learned from Bill by watching Bill rather than asking, perhaps intimidated. If you want consolation or coddling, go to Isiah, not Bill.

Scottie Pippen: BETA. would try to middleman Jordan's frustrations with his team, especially the rups (rookie 'pups', men playfully called pups because they're new to the sport). Grew envious of Jordan, mainly disturbed by his frequent Sidekick sidelining. Switches up on his stories to whatever he thinks will boost his image best. Sometimes that's siding with Jordan, sometimes it's not. It's not easy being Michael's beta, the enigma. Wafted his calming scent around like febreeze from all the arguments and heated moments he had to calm down regarding Jordan and his competitive temper. Pippen’s scent grew the strongest during Michael’s …flu game. When questioned about Michael’s status, Pippen hummed and turned away, looking conflicted and guilty.

Shaq: BETA. Magic and him both have humorous charms that make them Feel like alphas.. but they needed more to get a ring. They needed alpha teammates, ultimately. no matter how big or bad or good a Beta may be, they are always Second. But they should never, never be considered first. That's an alpha's job. Orlando made that mistake drafting a beta to win them a ring, a beta that would eventually leave to ringchase with any alpha he could. Shaq's a bit shameless for a beta, but being shameless is maybe the only path to 'fame' (becoming a simple shtick to an easy-to-remember title, either being Sidekick, Dumb, Helpful, Funny, Enforcer, etc) for the life of a beta. At least in that time. People wonder if Shaq ever ROIDed into an alpha during key games only, to increase his dominance. He says that would be too much effort. He's just a big ass beta <- his words

Magic Johnson: BETA. Or Was he really? People RUMOR, after Rodman's reveal and especially after Magic's scare, if he was actually a self-conscious, self-compensating omega who craved the lure of feeling needed? And then even went an extra step with the rut inducers to make him a Shiny beta, charismatic enough to peacock? Or was he just that magic to be a really flashy beta? OR OR.. is Magic all of that all at once? Maybe, if he did do it, he needed to? What is known is that he grew up with an alpha mother and an omega father. He yearns to impress and lead people, and showing off gives him a high satisfaction. Because of his beta hierarchy, he had a bigger barrel to fish out of with less scrutiny, so to speak. And man, did he like fishing.

Dennis Rodman: OMEGA. one of the first in the NBA to openly admit to ROIDing so he can change hierarchies. First, he used amplified rut inducers and heat suppressors to hide his omega nature into a beta, just to make the nba transition with less pitfalls and drama, as (out there) omegas were virtually nonexistent due to prejudice. Being a beta on the pistons was phenomenal, he played whatever role was needed, and what happened to be needed was his favorite kind of role: defensive agitator. But, he ended up having to play another role afterwards.. one he found far less amicable. After getting traded, he took more and more of the ROID medicine, not caring for the symptoms of overdoing it. He became an alpha on the Bulls, and his behavior became worrisome for Isiah, but the Bulls had championships to worry about, not teammates. His behavior continued until, after one wild night, Michael Jordan, the mysterious apathetic alpha when it came to worry or kindness, dumped all his ROIDs down the toilet. That was the turnaround, that was the moment that Dennis decided to come clean and tell the world that he was an Omega from the start. And he would be an omega in the end, refusing to go back to ROIDing to become something he knew others only wanted. While he admitted how ROIDing wasn’t for him, he also elaborated how it's really a personal decision, he knows some guys consider it a positive part of their life and he loves that for them. But for him, personally, his decision to ROID was not for himself, in the end, it was for others. And Dennis was notorious for not listening to others; he watched. He watched and realized that he refused to allow others to saddle him, the mustang, so why saddle himself? He was going to play as omega this time, a completely uncovered omega. And the Bulls went on to win. And Dennis became one of the first unROIDed Omegas to win a championship, while being one of the top three pieces-no, Players involved to do so. His decision changed the game for future hierarchies, bridging the option of omegas openly playing sport. But he still stands firm on his flexibility of whether or not to ROID, laughing over how it's ultimately a matter of the self, not the sayers. For him, he felt more true to himself without the medicine, for others, they may say the opposite and that's okay. He knows many like that already. But it's up to the person to deem what is true to himself.. and what is true to the people, that's the hard part: ego.

There's plenty of other older figures to assign, but these guys above are mainly the best for lore-building purposes. To sum the rest up, back then there were mainly alphas and betas. Omegas were either considered too useless or too weak. Alphas would lead, betas would follow. That is.. until LeBron.

LeBron : a BETA who presented late. Everyone thought/wanted him to be an alpha. The highschool phenom was such a hot topic, the truly invasive reporters would go as far as trying to sniff out a deciding scent just so they could be the ones who'd release the giant unveiling first. He was following Michael's Stardom, and everyone wanted him to be the same or larger. When he happily announced his hierarchy reveal after shaking The Cavs hands, the media turned, the team turned, and LeBron realized telling an adult the truth doesn't always grant the clemency family cartoons wished you to believe. His team hated him, refusing to pass or cheer when he was winning. Betas Don't Lead. That's how it’s Always been. His white wine scent tried to soothe their tempers, but it only made them nauseous. Through talent, effort, and unfortunate youthful uphill battle experience, LeBron managed to carve out a name for himself and for other hierarchies to breach the mold besides simply Alphas. The tide was starting to turn. Now, he has fans who prefer him over Michael, an alpha, because he feels more believable, more attainable to them. His beta nature made him more all-around, less competitively daggered than Jordan's rule. But those that hated him then still do with a ruthless vigor. They dislike the change, and they Detest his outspoken advocacy for allowing Omegas into the league. Of any kind. Because of LeBron, Steph was inspired. Reporters asked Michael if he had any strong disagreements with what LeBron's doing to the game. He smirked, “the flopping is funny.” And then smiled, just a bit. Just a touch soft. The cigar smell fades. “Everything else? I could give less of a damn.”

Kyrie Irving: ALPHA who eventually couldn't stand being in a beta's shadow, especially when the dynamics started flipping from the media because of it

Russell Westbrook: OMEGA famous (and infamous) for 'Playing like an alpha'. Giannis's idol. His security and power in his status drives alphas away. Doesn't care for the alignment system because that's what he's always been fighting against (banking against). Criticized for playing so hard that it makes his own teammates wary, Russ just rolls his big shoulders and snaps back, matter-of-fact like a rubber band's elastic response, “then get out of the kitchen.”

KD: ALPHA. His only pack is a gold bust of himself now. Cares about the alignment system because that's what he's always been fighting for (banking on)

James Harden: ALPHA. Known for being more carefree than most alphas. This annoys hard-core alpha basketball elitists. Because of his own traditional condemnation, he holds a not-so discreet disdain toward omegas.

Giannis: OMEGA. People confuse him and his brother's statuses often. Believe it or not, though, Thanasis is an alpha and Giannis is an omega. The bucks were a doubted organization for a Long time due to their strange and rare lack of a strong alpha presence. Giannis is a heavily criticized super star, mainly by alphas, but even some disgruntled betas join the scorn. Some audiences don't consider him a real superstar, merely an omega who got lucky with a superstar body blessing. Giannis grins, his sugary sweet cotton candy scent making Khris cough next to him, and chirps how he wishes he could be blessed with a good 3-point-shot too then, since he's just such a talentless miracle

Thanasis: ALPHA. Dedicates 99.99999% of his life to helping his family. Laughing stock of the NBA fans for Giannis feeling more like the alpha and him feeling like the omega. That's when Giannis gets mad.

Jrue: BETA. Always stands up for his team, while still humbling them. Was brought on as the perfect systematic beta, started to become something more before he was eventually traded for a systematic Alpha after the bucks caved into the idea of there not being enough

Khris Middleton: BETA. Found giannis's attempts to be seen as a Westbrook-like leader annoying at first. They balanced each other out later

Damian Lillard: ALPHA. Quiet, let's his game tell you what he is. If that's not enough, he'll butt heads with other alphas to dig the point. Notably more withdrawn and teasing to packs than classically alpha protective. Rumored to have been a beta who ROIDed into an alpha out of pressure to win. Dislikes Giannis instantly accepting him as the bucks new leader. Uncomfortable by the thought of never being enough

CJ McCollum: BETA. Starting to branch into more leader-like positions after being inspired by LeBron

Steven Adams: BETA. Casually admitted to originally having been an Alpha, but hard dosed rut suppressants because he simply didn't feel like dealing with all the complications and ruckus of being an alpha. Friends with Russ because they hold similar ideologies about not really caring about alignments, they just want to play ball the way they like best

Kawhi Leonard: BETA. Once dropped in an interview that he was an omega who ROIDed into a beta because he didn't like attention and high needs, and he knew he'd be swamped with it if he went into the NBA as one. Then laughed his weird little Kawhi Leonard laugh and left like he just told a silly little dad joke and not an atomic bomb of information. Paul George choked on his water

Paul George: ALPHA who, at first, tried to play the original alpha role by buying into The Savior hype he received after being drafted. LeBron's playoff showdown helped widen his eyes about other hierarchy skill, so when being the packs dependable alpha that didn't work out the way he planned, he tried to play it diluted. Then he tried the beta role. Then the omega role. .. then Kawhi made that monotone announcement and.. he got embarrassed. And confused. And now he's just confused. Like most alphas, he grew leaning into the alignment system that favored him for his high status. Like most alphas now, he doesn't know what to think of it. It's all kind of muddled now. (dammit George! HOW do you keep letting OMEGAS or.. ex-omegas? TOP you?? HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE PAUL GEORGE LEGACY ?!?? ..ugh, he just won't think about it..)

Joel Embiid: ALPHA. WAS an Undisclosed: Beta who ROIDed into an alpha to contribute to The Process. Now too afraid to go back because it failed. Tries hard to be an alpha when others want him to, until he's too tired to when they actually need him to. Known as one of 'The Lazy Alphas' now

Ben Simmons: ALPHA whose anxieties got too high from the pressures of The Process

Markelle Fultz: ALPHA who was pushed to PRESENT EARLY as one by The Process. Was going to present as an alpha anyways, but the sixers needed him to be revealed as one on Their time

Tobias Harris: BETA disliked by the originally alpha heavy sixers organization for not being dominant enough

Boban: ALPHA, given a lot of leeway for both his status and his size

Tyrese Maxey: ALPHA. Praised as the golden alpha sixers child, although they're not used to his low-aggression levels for an alpha. They're not exactly opposed, though, his sweetness is captivating. Slowly, Maxey is softening the once toxic city

Jokic: ALPHA who once hated not being seen as one due to incorrect aesthetics (alphas are supposed to be strong, so eventually he got strong enough to match their idealization), but now hates being seen as one. Dislikes attention and attraction. He's apparently 'accepted' as an alpha, but STILL not a Complete one for other opinionated reasons. Whatever (similar plight of Allen Iverson + Isiah Thomas, responds like AI by not responding)

DeMar DeRozan: BETA who PRESENTED LATE. It's always a gamble to draft an unpresented pick. When the raptors realized their potential alpha Savior wasn't what they expected him to be, they were blatantly disappointed.. but because of LeBron.. gave him a chance. Maybe he could be like Him? They already had similar stories and hardships? Maybe Toronto had their own LeBron? But DeMar wasn't LeBron. DeMar was DeMar. Toronto deemed him unfit for his playoff struggles. They traded him not for an alpha, but a beta who could at least dominate like one. But the hardest blow was his split with Kyle.

Kyle Lowry: ALPHA. Rough around the edges, smiling at you one second, scowling the next. His turbulent past consisted of personality conflicts the most. He was bristly, suffering from the lone alpha wolf syndrome teams disliked where, instead of leading the team toward him, the alpha pushed them away out of some form of pride. But the Raptors were known for their big culture of chances. Maybe it was thanks to Canadian clemency that Kyle found the one beta who wasn't afraid to step in and calm him, who didn't tire of his temper, whose scent never tried to overwhelm him out of desperate, and was just lowkey enough to extend a comfort enough for Kyle to settle down and calm down in. Maybe it was just a happy coincidence. And then another beta came, one who smelled of mystery and not like the movies. And His beta was sent away. And so was Kyle's secret dreams to settle with their rups and start something he'd be otherwise afraid to do alone. …then an alpha swept in.

Jimmy Butler: ALPHA who PRESENTED LATE. Smells like freshly brewed coffee. Lauded as the next Michael, or at least very similar, he tries Very hard to keep the kind of athletic aggression alphas are typically known for alive. He says it's for himself, working on what he does best, but saying you're not influenced by something (or someone) is always easier than committing to the actual practice of abstention.

OG Anunoby: BETA who refuses to coddle anyone's feelings, yet, despite his best efforts at apathy, still somehow draws in disgusting extroverts to be his friends. He doesn't know why. Likes to subtly stir things up rather than calm them down. Kyle finds him very funny. Their unique Raptor squad was a real unique charm.

Norman Powell: BETA who just craves to be involved, worried about being invisible

Serge Ibaka: a fussy ALPHA with peculiar tastes. Considered to have a very intriguing behavior for an alpha, which allures omegas and betas toward him (usually so they can tease him for being funny, but he does a certain charm to him, admittedly)

De’aaron Fox: ALPHA. Bubbly, welcoming, and teasing, he attracts everyone with his confidence, most particularly other alphas seeking his sunlight

Tyrese Haliburton: a beta who ROIDed into an ALPHA out of desire to help the pacers. Calmer than most alphas, but will hold competitive grudges like the worst of them. Tired of being a loser

Jalen Smith: OMEGA, beloved by locals but barely recognized by outside nba fans for being an omega center/forward. While omegas are actually allowed to show themselves in the league now, that doesn't mean they're allowed to do so without some words by unwarranted audiences.

Buddy Hield: omega who ROIDed into a BETA. Switches from polite to petty on a dime

Steph Curry: OMEGA. Inspired by those that expanded the game before him, he's taking the handle through his moves on and off the court to increase the league’s talent and prosperity for everyone. Those that dislike him disparage him for not being physical enough, which is the only reason why he, an omega, has been so successful. Proving them wrong by going in the paint. Now, they're focusing on whether he can carry a team with a crumbling alpha..

Klay Thompson: a beta who ROIDed into an ALPHA for his team. The injury has left him feeling hopeless, a ghost of his former self. Worst of all, he can't ROID any further to help

Draymond Green: Omega who ROIDed into a BETA and is suffering some of the personal side effects.

Andrew Wiggins: OMEGA who USED to be a ROIDed beta and only stopped when he went to the warriors and Curry consoled him Only because it was hurting him more than helping him

Jordan Poole: ALPHA under constant pressure

Jabari Smith Jr: stuffy ALPHA whose father was a beta. Distrusts the use of ROIDing because, according to his father, it's not playing Fair.

Jalen Green: ALPHA. People like to doubt his hierarchy because he likes to preen and doesn’t hold the same kind of aggressiveness or possessiveness most people perceive alphas to have. Jalen just minds his business and enjoys what he enjoys

Alperen Şengün: beta who ROIDed into an ALPHA. New to the effects, but doesn't mind them. Likes protecting his pack but also keeping the peace. ROIDed to bring more prosperity back to his family through his fame

Aaron Holiday: OMEGA. Jrue likes to tease him since he's the youngest, but the middle Holiday brother will Not let Anyone hurt his little brother or his feelings. Aaron works hard on defense so he can win a ring like his brothers

Justin Holiday: ALPHA who gets confused for a beta at times for his peaceful and placated personality. ‘Blames’ it on being the eldest brother

Anthony Edwards: no known status of any kind as he has YET TO PRESENT. Still. Has to tell reporters to stop sniffing him all the time. Another MJ comparison player. Everyone, including himself, is Hoping for an Alpha reveal, lord knows The Timberwolves need it. Got in trouble for posting a video making fun of omegas, and why would he make fun of something he is? See? Everyone can stop worrying now! It's all gonna be okay!! He swears! ..he hopes. Well, at least he has his charm. If people aren't bored with it yet…

Karl-Anthony Towns: beta who ROIDed into an ALPHA and thinks no one knows but, trust me, everyone does .

Anthony Davis: alpha who ROIDed into a BETA. Heavily hated for this decision, but doesn't care because he says he's more comfortable as a beta, so he's being a beta whether people like it or not. LeBron says he supports it, but people like to stir that he really thinks otherwise

JA morant: ALPHA who PRESENTED LATE. Actively argues against his ROIDing rumors, taking them as a blow to his pride. Hates whenever people confuse Jaren and his hierarchies, then acts out to try and prove them wrong. When he's not obsessed with outside opinion on himself, he's a protective and kind alpha, especially to his pack. Very close to his attracted crowds.. no matter what kind they may be

Jaren Jackson Jr: BETA. His alphas’ number one hype man. May or may not have an (unfortunate) thing for alphas or betas who act like alphas. Thought to be an alpha for his height, but his family and friends quickly disregard that possibility regarding his personality. While it's very difficult to get him actually mad, it's quite easy to get him upset or huffy. For a beta, Jaren’s usually the one who needs calming down rather than the vice-versa of his hierarchy’s original talents. Seeks constant validation because of this, worried he's not the best beta

Desmond Bane: BETA. Withdrawn and would rather stay back to let people fight things out than intervene. He's here to work out, then work. Unfortunately attracts self-conscious crowds with his quiet confidence. Often confused as an alpha.

Dillon Brooks: BETA who ROIDed DOWN from an alpha. If you thought he’s bad as a beta, you should’ve seen him when he was originally an alpha. Oh, he's a Saint now. He only ROIDed because Houston was worried they had too many alphas on the team, an error proven to be bad back in the 80s.

Zion Williamson: a nervous ALPHA who ROIDED from beta to alpha to try and appease his college hype. It's not exactly working..

RJ Barrett: ALPHA who was being pressured into ROIDing into a beta but didn't only because he got trades before the process could really start. Keeps to himself. Known for being charismatic, chirpy, and a bit controlling to those he trusts. Which is fewer than some.

Keldon Johnson: OMEGA. Instantly adopted by older betas and alphas for his happy-go-lucky ( and airheaded ) glee, but secretly yearns for rups of his own to tease and protect. More than willing to step up and be a leader and a shoulder his new rups can lean on when needed, but secretly growing more worried with each passing criticism that he can't be as strong for his rups as his mentor figures were for him

Mindset

Opening verse:

Colossians 3:2 - Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Introduction: could have been the great of all time

I know not all of you here watch professional basketball or even follow the Lakers, but I am sure you have heard of a basketball player named Shaquille O’Neal

He played center for the Lakers and won three consecutive championships in the early 2000s

He was a dominant force in his prime and is widely considered to be one of the top 50 NBA players of all time

You could count the number of people who could give him a challenge on one hand

Shaq himself only admitted to two people he struggled to play against

As great as Shaq was, he had glaring flaws

He was a terrible free throw shooter - less than 50% for his career.

He did not have the maniacal work effort like his teammate Kobe Bryant

His ego and inability to share the ball with Kobe (who admittedly had a big ego also) caused a schism on the Lakers

Shaq was ultimately traded away

Don’t get me wrong - Shaq had a great career, winning 4 NBA championships among all sorts of other accolades

However, if Shaq actually worked half as hard as Kobe and raised his free throw shooting percentage to 75%, he could have been the highest scoring player of all time

Not only that, if he stayed with the Lakers, he and Kobe could have easily won at least another 3 championships together, if not not more

What I am saying is Shaq could have been the greatest player of all time, even greater than Michael Jordan or Lebron James

What hindered him?

He just did not have the mindset

Mindset

Whether you are going to propose to someone, try to get fitter, or became the greatest basketball player in the world, you must first have the mindset to achieve such goals

What do I mean by mindset?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines mindset as a fixed attitude, disposition, mood, or intention

While we often talk about mindset in achieving physical and earthly goals, I would like to talk about the importance of having a spiritual mindset

There are two passages I would like for you to keen in mind for today’s message

2 Timothy 3:1-5

Revelation 2:2-5 - the loveless church

Saul

What do you know of King Saul of the Bible?

Some people would answer that he was the first king of Israel

Most people would say he was an unfaithful king who was eventually replaced by David

I am sure quite a few of you here would say he was the guy who consulted with the witch of Endor in that famous Bible story all good Adventists know

To be sure, those are defining aspects of Saul’s life

What if I were to tell you if Saul had remained completely faithful to God, we would be calling Jesus the son of Saul?

I would like to take a brief look at Saul’s life so we can learn some insights about spiritual mindset

First appearance

We first meet Saul in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 9

At this time the people of Israel began asking for a king to lead them, to be like other nations

While this was a terrible idea which would have long-lasting repercussions, God obliged and chose Saul to be their king

Saul was looking for his father’s lost donkeys

He ended up going to the prophet Samuel to inquire for his help

(This is a rather mundane request to ask of a prophet, if you think about it)

Samuel invited Saul to eat with him and told him to not worry about the donkeys

And Samuel said something rather interesting to Saul:

“And on whom is all the desire of Israel?  Is it not on you and on all your father’s house?”

Saul’s response:

1 Samuel 9:21 - And Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin?  Why then do you speak like this to me?

What was Saul’s mindset at this time?

Doesn’t he seem rather humble?

This is very interesting since the Bible first describes Saul as being very handsome and a head taller than ay of the people in Israel

Saul was also the son of Kish, who was described as a mighty man of power

If Saul were alive today, he probably could have become an athlete or a movie star

Yet, he saw himself as a regular person, a nobody even

Saul anointed as king

Let’s go to the next chapter

Samuel anointed Saul to be king of Israel

The Holy Spirit came upon Saul and he prophesied with a group of prophets

When Saul finally came home, he told his uncle he went out looking for the donkeys and went to see the prophet Samuel

Saul’s uncle asked what Samuel said to him

How did Saul answer:?

1 Samuel 10:16 - So Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.”  But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel said.

Isn’t that interesting?

Saul didn’t tell uncle that Samuel anointed him king of all Israel or that he was prophesying with other prophets

When Samuel proclaimed to Israel that Saul was to be their king, no one could find him

They actually had to inquire of the Lord to find Saul

1 Samuel 10:22 - …and the Lord answered, “He is there, hidden among the equipment”

The new king of Israel was hiding from his own coronation!

It seems evident he did not feel he was qualified to be king

However, there were some people in Israel who did not approve of Saul as king

1 Samuel 10:27 - But some rebels said, “How can this man save us?”  So they despised him, and brought him no presents.  But he held his peace.

Saul could have commanded the dissidents be punished, imprisoned, or even put to death, but he did not

This showed great character

Saul’s victory

Jabesh Gilead besieged by the Ammonites

The Holy Spirit came upon Saul (1 Samuel 11:6) and he rallied the Israelites to fight the Ammonites

Saul led the Israelites to a great victory

The people wanted to put the rebels who despised Saul to death, but Saul intervened on their behalf

1 Samuel 11:13 - “Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel”

Saul was open to the Holy Spirit

Saul showed mercy to those who despised him

Saul gave all credit to God for his victory

Turning point 1: Saul’s unlawful sacrifice (1 Samuel 13:1-15)

Two years later, Israel at war with the Philistines

Saul had 3000 men, Philistines had 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen alone 

People were scattered, in hiding, afraid

Saul waited seven days to meet Samuel at an appointed place 

However, Samuel seemingly did not appear on time

Saul decided to offer the a sacrifice to the Lord on his own

Samuel arrived when Saul just finished the offering

Saul was severely rebuked

God was testing Saul’s heart and he failed

Had Saul passed, God would have established Saul’s kingdom forever

Saul was found to NOT be a man after God’s own heart

Turning point 2: Saul’s rash oath

1 Samuel 14:24 - “And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.”

‭‭The men of Israel were faint and hungry but were afraid of Saul’s curse

Even when they found honey, they did not eat it

Jonathan, who earlier won a battle acting on faith, returned and saw the honey

He did not know about the oath and ate some honey

He was told of the oath, but he disagreed with what his father had commanded

When the Philistines were driven back and it was evening, the people took the spoils, slew the sheep and oxen, and ate them with blood

Saul built his first altar to God

When Saul inquired of God, he received no answer

Saul blamed the people’ sin on Jonathan and tried to have him killed 

However, the people rejected this and saved Johnathan

Turning point 3: Saul’s failure to completely eradicate the Amalekites

Saul was commanded by God to completely destroy the Amalekites

However, Saul spared Agar, the Amalekite king

Saul and the Israelites also spared the best livestock, which they took as spoils

1 Samuel 15:12 - “So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.

Note when Samuel went to meet Saul, he found out Saul set up a monument for himself

When Samuel confronted Saul and told him he did not follow God’s command, Saul tried to justify himself

Samuel told Saul that God will choose someone else to lead Israel, Saul was most concerned about his reputation and keeping up appearances (1 Samuel 15:30)

What happened to Saul?

When we first met Saul, it seemed that he had the right mindset to be a good king for Israel, a good Christian, and a faithful follower of God

Yet, in only two years, Saul was already drifting away

1 Samuel 13:14 - But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

Did God make a mistake in choosing Saul?  

Or did God purposely pick someone faulty to teach the people of Israel a lesson?

I don’t think so

Consider last five years of NBA drafts

The first pick in the past five years did not prove to be the best player in that year’s draft

(Picks 3-5 seem to have better careers so far)

Why were those number 1 draft picks chosen in the first place?

Oftentimes, it was based on their athletic ability and their potential to be even greater

Saul had all the qualities necessary to be a good king for Israel

He had the potential to be a great example for all of Israel

However, it was up to Saul to make the commitment to be completely faithful to God

A man after God’s own heart

Acts 13:22 - And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.”

How was David superior to Saul?

if you compare what the Bible records about Saul and David, relatively speaking, Saul’s sins pale in comparison to David’s sins

Let’s be honest, David’s spiritual life at times was a dumpster fire

David committed sexual assault, adultery, murder

He was a liar, he was a poor father

One time his pride caused a plague to fall upon Israel Is this same David really a man after God’s own heart?

Yet, as spectacular as David has fallen spiritually at times, he always came back to God

Unlike Saul, David confessed his sins and repented of them

He endured the consequences of his sins, but in the end, David put his trust in God

While Saul had a great spiritual experience in the beginning, he did not advance further spiritually

Saul’s actions during those three pivotal moments of his life showed that he grew to be reliant upon himself, rather than upon God

He had experienced spiritual eyes as a prophet and a king, but he did not grow further spiritually

Ultimately, Saul’s mindset was focused on worldly greatness

What is your mindset?

Are you more like Saul or David when it comes to your spiritual life?

Do you truly believe Jesus is your Lord and Savior?

Do you have the right spiritual mindset?

Does your inward spiritual life reflect the outward life you portray to other people?

Are you willing to commit more time to prayer and Bible study every day?

Going to church every week or even going to things like GYC is not going to cut it with God

Representation is not salvation

I’ve heard the adults in the Vietnamese group talk

“Oh, if we had someone else like Jessica or John or Hung or Kristi, our church would be able to do more.”

I understand their sentiment, but they are wrong

We have you

You all have potential for greatness in the kingdom of God

Are you truly hungry for righteousness?

Are your eyes completely upon Jesus?

Do you have the mindset to follow Jesus wherever He guides you?

How Emoni Bates survived the early hype and remained a top NBA prospect

Emoni Bates is still standing after the premature.

Emoni Bates didn’t ask to be hyped as the “next Kevin Durant” from the time he was 14 years old. He didn’t request Sports Illustrated to put him on a magazine cover a year later that bears a striking resemblance to the first one LeBron James graced in high school. He certainly didn’t urge the publication to write that he “often resembles a 6’ 9” Stephen Curry.”

All of this was outside of Bates’ control before he was legally old enough to drive a car. After a standout performance at his first USA Basketball junior minicamp in 2018, he was considered the best high school freshman in recent memory by some of the sharpest people in the industry. He felt like a player who personified the recent evolution of the modern game: a tall, lanky wing who could handle the ball like a guard and pull-up confidently with his jump shot from anywhere on the floor all before he was legally old enough to drive a car. I won’t act like I was above it. When I wrote a list of the best long-term prospects in the high school ranks three years ago, I put Bates at No. 1 just ahead of Jalen Green, Anthony Edwards, and Evan Mobley.

It all feels so unfair to Bates now, not because he’s necessarily fallen short of his ‘generational prospect’ status, but because the burden of those expectations would be unfair to anyone. The fact that Bates is still standing near the top of his class rankings is a testament to both his focus and talent.

Bates’ high school career feels like it ended in the blink of an eye. As a freshman, he led Lincoln High to a state championship in Michigan. The next year, he became the first sophomore to win boys Gatorade National Player of the Year, but the pandemic interrupted his playoff run. As a junior, Bates left Lincoln for a start-up prep school founded by his father. It was at Ypsi Prep that the same people who hyped Bates in the first place started to wonder if he was coming up short: there were some big losses, concerns about his scoring efficiency and frame, and rumors of tension with his teammates. Somewhere in between, he committed and decommitted from Michigan State, lost his No. 1 ranking to Jalen Duren, and had to publicly ask for more scholarship offers from college coaches who assumed he would never step foot on campus.

Bates should be preparing for senior year right now, but like most aspects of his life, he surged past that, too. Bates reclassified to essentially skip his final year of high school ball and get ready for the next level. It’s a common move for big-time high school prospects — R.J. Barrett, Marvin Bagley III, and Andrew Wiggins did it, too — but Bates is in a particularly unique situation because he’s too young to enter the 2022 NBA Draft regardless of what path he chooses.

Bates is about to announce his next step. He has four finalists: Memphis, Oregon, Michigan State, and the G League Ignite. While the G League would have been his only profitable route only a few months ago, the adoption of NIL rules across college basketball means Bates would now see a big pay day while going to school. ESPN has already named him the most marketable player in men’s college basketball before he makes his decision.

The discourse around Bates has already been swirling for years in every direction. Where is Bates really at as a player right now? This is what we see from him on the brink of his big announcement.

Why Emoni Bates is still an excellent prospect

Emoni Bates almost certainly won’t be the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the first year he’s eligible to enter. That distinction will go to the next super prospect to earn the ‘generational’ tag: 7’3 French big man Victor Wembanyama. But even if Bates doesn’t eventually become a No. 1 overall pick, he’s certainly going to get selected near the top of the draft when he’s able to enter.

That’s because Bates is still an awesome prospect.

The appeal of Bates starts with his intersection of height and shooting. Most measurements put Bates at 6’8.5 or 6’9. He typically plays with the ball in his hands, and often dribbles it up the court like a lead guard. Bates’ scoring mindset could be described in one word: aggressive. As soon as he touches the ball in the halfcourt, he’s ready to set his man up to surrender a bucket.

Bates’ top skill is shooting off the dribble. He shoots an effortless ball with deep range. He already has a bag to step-backs and step-steps he can go into to get off open looks from three-point range. You won’t find another player in high school ranks that has this level of shot-making at the same size.

Bates is also an advanced ball handler at this stage, especially for a nominal wing. Ball handling is typically one of the biggest areas of improvement for high school age wings, but Bates usually has good control of the ball and knows who to create separation off the bounce. This is where his status as a super-hyped prospect from a young age has paid off: he has the handle of someone who had to learn how to open up space because he knew the ball was always going to be in his hands.

Check out the quick change of direction and body control on this layup.

While Bates’ feel for the game has come under question at times, he certainly has some impressive passing flashes. His occasionally poor shot selection could be chalked up to the fact the he had to score for Bates Fundamentals, the Nike EYBL team founded by his father, because he was so obviously the best player on the team.

The easier way for Bates to level up offensively is to continue growing as a playmaker for others. He’s going to generate so much defensive attention that his teammates are bound to be open if he can find them.

His play is another example of Bates using his tight handle to get into the paint, and then keep his eyes up until his teammate pops open. This sort of thing is exactly what NBA scouts are going to want to see from him at his next stop:

While Bates is still rail thin and badly needs to add muscle, he doesn’t shy away from contact — he embraces it. His ability to get two feet in the paint and try to initiate or play through contract will help him even as he tries to add weight early in his career.

Again you see his body control and burst with the ball in these plays. It’s encouraging to see him drive the ball to the basket instead of settling for his jumper all the time.

The upside here is a 6’9 wing who can be high volume three-point shooter, act as a secondary initiator in the halfcourt, and put some pressure on the rim with dribble combinations and solid burst helped by the threat of his shooting. These can still be bankable NBA skills if he isn’t a once-in-a-generation prospect.

Why Bates might not be as ‘generational’ as he was once thought to be

Bates started so far ahead of his peers in part because he stood out so much for his height. Three years later, other players in Bates’ class have caught up to him physically. He hasn’t gotten much taller or added much weight since the hype began.

Bates is still tall for a wing, but the lack of strength holds him back at times. He also isn’t particularly long, with a wingspan reportedly proportional to his height. It will be tough for him to slide up in lineups at the NBA level unless he adds significant bulk.

The last time we saw Bates was at Nike Peach Jam. While he put together some remarkable highlights, his scoring efficiency left a lot to be desired. During nine games in July, Bates averaged 20 points per game on 37.8 percent shooting from the field, 30.2 percent shooting from three (on 53 attempts), and 89 percent shooting from the foul line. He had the same number of assists (25) as turnovers, and he didn’t record a block, but he did grab 1.4 steals and 5.2 rebounds per night.

Keep in mind that Bates was asked to carry a huge offensive load for his team at Peach Jam, but it would have been nice to see him score the ball more efficiently given his lofty status.

Mike Gribanov, an analyst who has written for The Stepien, noted that outside of Bates’ shot-making, the rest of his skill set development hasn’t progressed as quickly as hoped. Gribanov said he thought Bates would have benefitted from playing on a more established high school team last year. He has Bates No. 6 overall in the early projection of the 2023 draft class.

“Building the school and building the team around him feels like it has been a bit of a problem,” Gribanov told SB Nation. “It happened to the determent of Emoni’s long-term upside. If he had played at Montverde or IMG, his future as a player would almost certainly turn out better than it has this year.”

The areas where Bates lacks on the court often feel more based on intangibles. He needs to learn to keep the ball moving in the halfcourt, and how to pick his spots as a scorer without holding the ball. More than anything, evaluators would like to see Bates simply play a winning brand of basketball.

“His feel for the game hasn’t always been good, but he also hasn’t been put in great spots,” Gribanov said. “Put him in a place with more established coaches and a program that has a lot of talent around him, and you’ll see if it improves. Hopefully they get him in a good spot and he figures some of those things out as far as his approach goes.”

Gribanov said Bates reminds him a bit of two players who were just taken in the 2021 NBA Draft: B.J. Boston and Ziarie Williams. Gribanov thinks Bates has higher upside than either player, but sees similar appeals to their games.

“It’s the ability to make shots and make shots off the dribble at a young age. Maybe you’ll see 6’1 or 6’2 guys hit shots off the dribble at that stage, but 6’8, 6’9 guys it’s not very common to be able to do that the way he does.”

How Bates fit with other great players on Team Final

Bates has had an insular upbringing in the game since rising to fame. He played for his father’s grassroots program on the EYBL, and later at his father’s prep school that was designed specifically for him. He never played on USA Basketball’s junior teams. But Bates did embrace playing on a talented, veteran team when he spent parts of May and June playing with Team Final.

Team Final is one of the premier programs on the EYBL based out of Philadelphia (alumni include Mikal Bridges and Cam Reddish). Bates had close relationships with several players on the team, including fellow top-10 overall recruits Jalen Duren and Dereck Lively. According to Team Final assistant Wayne Jones, Bates saw something special going on with the program and wanted to be part of it.

“People don’t realize how coachable and how much of a team player he was,” Jones said of Bates’ time with the team. “He was a listener and not a talker. He fit way better than most people would have thought he could. He superseded all expectations as a teammate. He was bringing energy, being a vocal leader, doing everything you want out of a player of that caliber.”

Bates was back playing for his father’s program by the time Peach Jam started, but according to Jones it felt like he never really felt Team Final. As Team Final took the floor for the championship game at Peach Jam, Bates was there working with the guys in the warmup line. When Duren passed Bates in the rankings for the No. 1 player in the class of 2022, Jones said Bates was the first to congratulate him.

Jones also saw a more well-rounded player when Bates joined Team Final. On such a loaded roster, he didn’t need to focus solely on scoring. There were some games where he didn’t even start, and he was fine with that.

“Emoni didn’t care about starting,” Jones said. “He did anything for the team. Sometimes he was a shooting guard, sometimes he’s a four man, he just fit in with the team. The kids on our team loved each other, and they brought him in with open arms.”

“He went against a lot of double times, junk defenses, and box and one (on Bates Fundamentals),” Jones said. “He has to score the ball for the teams he plays on. He takes some tough shots, but when you’re the best player on the court night in and night out you’re going to get forced to take shots like that. when he gets to the next level, his supporting cast is going to be better. You could see how diverse his game is when he played with us.”

Bates is about to fully step outside of the bubble that was created for him after his rise to notoriety. Memphis will be expected to be a top-10 team if he commits there. Having another superstar freshman in Duren next to him will alleviate some of the burden he’d likely feel to carry the team. Having a coaching staff with Penny Hardaway, Larry Brown, and Rasheed Wallace could be massively beneficial, too.

The spotlight on Bates has always felt a little more intense than other top prospects since he entered it. At the next level, the early hype and outrageous comparisons will matter less. It will be about contributing to winning at a high level and proving his skill set can scale alongside and against other great players.

Bates has been touted for so long that it’s hard to believe he was born in Jan. of 2004 and is still only 17 years old. For as exhausting as his path as felt at times, there is still so much room for him to write his own story. The next chapter starts now.

2021 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: Corey Kispert

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/nba/2021-nba-draft-prospect-profiles-corey-kispert/

2021 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: Corey Kispert

Over the next month, GBB will be profiling various players the Memphis Grizzlies may target in the 2021 NBA Draft. This year we will be breaking it up in to three sections – five to likely trade up for, five potentially available right around pick #17 where Memphis is slotted to pick, and five that surely will be there or perhaps the Grizzlies could even trade back and still select.

The first we’ll examine in the “potentially available” category is Corey Kispert from Gonzaga.

COREY KISPERT, WING, UNIVERSITY OF GONZAGA

6’7”, 220 pounds (6’7” wingspan), 22-years-old, Shoreline, WA.

Four seasons at Gonzaga—27.4 minutes per game, 11.6 points per game, 48.3% from the field, 40.8% from three, 82.4 % from free throw line, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals.

STATS OF STRENGTH: Three-point shooting (44% as a senior), PER (25.3), true shooting percentage (67%)

STATS TO IMPROVE: Assist percentage (9.0%)

ACCOLADES AND AWARDS: Consensus first-team All-American (2021), Julius Erving Award (2021), WCC Player of the Year (2021), 2× First-team All-WCC (2020, 2021), Academic All-American of the Year (2021)

CURRENT BIG BOARD PLACEMENTS: 13th (ESPN), 13th (Tankathon), 9th (Athletic), 13th (Ringer), 15th (CBS Sports)

I’m going to make this simple right from the jump: Corey Kispert is the best shooter in the 2021 NBA Draft, and he far brings more than just pure shooting to the table. He’s a winner in every sense of the word; in college basketball where 20 wins is generally viewed as the barometer of success, he never won less than 30 games over four years at Gonzaga, and he was their best player for the last two years. He’s a savvy ball-handler, a high-IQ defender, and an absurdly efficient scorer from every area on the court.

The dude is a baller.

Unfortunately for him and his draft stock, “ageism”—a topic which I discussed at length last November—has continued to be a trend in prospect evaluation. NBA executives and talent evaluators usually prioritize younger, rawer talent with more perceived upside over more accomplished, but older players that they deem to be much closer to finished products. It was a significant factor in why the Grizzlies were able to get steals in Brandon Clarke, Desmond Bane, and Xavier Tillman in consecutive drafts, and it could be how they end up with Corey Kispert.

They are, of course, questions beyond his age and perceived lack of upside. His overall athleticism is questionable and leads one to wonder whether he can hold his own defensively in the pace-and-space NBA.

But as far as expected production is concerned, Corey Kispert is about as close to a sure thing that you’re ever going to find in an NBA Draft. He will not fail, and if he is available at 17, then the Grizzlies will probably not have to think about it for too long.

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

There really isn’t much more to be said about Corey Kispert’s ability as a shooter. He ranked 6th in the nation as a senior in 3PT% (44%) on 6.5 attempts per game , and he was the only player in the top-8 of that category to have attempted at least 200 threes. Whether it was off-ball relocations, down screens, or just extremely deep heaves in spot-up situations, he stretched opposing defenses to their breaking point.

— Mike Schmitz (@Mike_Schmitz) December 27, 2020

As a pure shooter, he can be a potential game-breaker at any time when he gets hot, and that should translate to the next level considering how much the modern NBA is reliant upon three-point shooting and floor spacing. In this way, the Joe Harris comparisons seem relatively adequate.

However, where that comparison falls short is that Kispert was much more than a mere shooter in college and could be much more so in the NBA; you aren’t the best player on one of the best college basketball teams of all time if all you can do is shoot. He regularly displayed an ability not only attack closeouts like many other effective shooters, but also to penetrate and create as a secondary facilitator while also being a constant threat to pull up off the dribble. That along with his ability to cut and finish around the basket was why he shot 61% on two-pointers this past year.

To put that in perspective, Jonas Valanciunas and Xavier Tillman were the only Grizzlies who shot at least that percentage on twos last year.

— Backcourt Violation (@backcourtv) June 21, 2021

Now Kispert isn’t going to be asked to be a consistent pick-and-roll ball-handler in the NBA, but how much his ability to create off the dribble and score from all three levels will determine whether he becomes a taller Joe Harris—which I think is closer to his floor—or *prepares the hot take cannon* something akin to Klay Thompson offensively. He won’t be anywhere near the defender that Thompson has been in the NBA (which I’ll touch on more in the improvement section), but he has an almost identical physical profile and was an objectively better shooter and overall more efficient scorer with similar production on a soundly better college basketball team.

Of course, just because their profiles are similar and Kispert was probably a better player in college doesn’t mean that he’s going to end up being as good offensively as arguably the second best shooter ever. That’s just not the way it usually works. Klay was also a more naturally talented creator with the ball in his hands coming out of college, exhibited by the fact that he had a 25% assist percentage as compared to Kispert’s 9%, which seems a bit low considering the offensive talent with which he played.

Still, Kispert was a fantastic offensive player in college, and all of the the various nuances of his overall offensive game will enable him to thrive in the pace-and-space NBA. To say that he’s just a shooter is to both embrace a lazy stereotype and undersell what he can bring to an NBA team.

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

Kispert was not a bad defensive player in college; in fact, he was a plus in some ways. He was 4th in defensive win shares (1.8) on a Gonzaga team that ranked 21st in the nation in defensive efficiency. He regularly displayed innate defensive instincts and generally proved to be an effective defender within the team’s defensive scheme.

Yet the vast majority of his games were played against WCC opponents, and questions still remain about how well he will be able to defend perimeter players in the NBA. He’s not a quick-twitch athlete by any stretch of the imagination, and he will have to work to improve his hips so that he can have adequate lateral quickness at the next level.

However, even if he ends up being a relative sieve defensively in the NBA (which I don’t think will be the case), what he brings as a shooter and offensively in general will more than outweigh any issues on the other end. After all, the Clippers and Sixers managed to hide 6’3” J.J. Redick on defense throughout the prime of his career, while Joe Harris and Duncan Robinson’s lack of defensive ability hasn’t hurt their ability to positively impact their teams.

Kispert has good size at 6’7”, 220 pounds and will be a high-IQ defender within a team’s defensive scheme. Those qualities alone will make him at least passable on defense even if he physically struggles a bit on that end to start his career.

IndyStar-USA TODAY Sports

In short, it’s perfect.

Imagine a lineup of Ja Morant-Desmond Bane-Corey Kispert-Jaren Jackson Jr.-Jonas Valanciunas. That amount of elite shooting and floor spacing next to Morant and Valanciunas would open up a world of possibilities both in the paint and on the perimeter that could empower the Grizzlies to become one of the best offensive teams in the NBA. And if you really want to get drunk with the power of the shooting possibilities, think of a Ja Morant-Desmond Bane-Dillon Brooks-Corey Kispert-Jaren Jackson Jr. lineup, which would not only be even more prolific from three but even better defensively while also giving Morant spacing and driving lanes that he’s never had before. That’s one way to help Morant grow from a borderline all-star into an MVP candidate.

Surrounding Ja Morant with shooters should be among the Grizzlies’ top priorities going forward, so why not give him the absolute best shooter in the draft that also happens to be one of the winningest players in the history of college basketball?

So if Kispert is on the board for the Grizzlies at 17, they probably shouldn’t have to even think about it, unless something extremely unexpected happens with some of the top prospects on their board (Moses Moody, Keon Johnson, etc.). The only argument that you could make against it is that the Grizzlies should be looking to take a home-run swing on a younger prospect with more perceived upside since they need to find their third star next to Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

To be sure, he probably wouldn’t grow into the Grizzlies’ third star or even some version of Klay Thompson. But he almost absolutely will be a superb role player boasting an elite skill that happens to not only be an area of need for the Grizzlies, but also the most important one in the game today. And with the 17th pick, you could hardly expect to ever do better than that.

Corey Kispert is more than just a shooter, even if he is the best shooter in his class. And the Grizzlies should not fall victim to ageism like so many of their peers is he’s available to them at 17, even if I think that he’s probably gone before then.
