A little while ago, we discussed the NBA players who were most overperforming their preseason rankings in 2023-24. To judge that, we looked at our consensus Top 100 player rankings – which used rankings from our site, ESPN, Bleacher Report, The Ringer and CBS Sports from before the season to find a consensus ranking of the Top 100 players in the NBA for 2023-24 – and judged that against our own Global Rating data to see which players were most overperforming those preseason rankings.

Eric Gordon, the team’s third best player with Beal and Nurkic out, played 24 minutes as the starter and only got up two shots. “Early on in the season, it was better. And lately, there just hasn’t been an emphasis [to get me more looks],” Gordon told B/R. “So, it’s definitely different. Lately I haven’t been getting hardly any touches really.”

It doesn’t get any easier, but Booker is trying to keep perspective. “I’ve been through worse than this,” Devin Booker told Bleacher Report. “Remember those first five years for me? I’ve seen this before. I trust everybody in here. We have the talent to turn it around. I’m not too discouraged, but there’s a pep in our step now. We know we have some work to clean up.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro heard the outside noise while spending almost six weeks recovering from a sprained right ankle. Is the Heat better without Herro? Should Herro move to a bench role? Is Herro more valuable to the Heat as a trade chip than he is on the court? But Herro ignored all of it. “I mean, people love to talk about me, so I don’t really feed into it,” said Herro, who turns 24 on Jan. 20. “People talk about me all day, literally all day about this or that, wins or losses, points or no points...

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons admitted Friday night that the lower back nerve impingement that’s sidelined him for nearly two months has him as frustrated as he’s ever been. “It’s probably one of the most frustrating points in my career just because I wanna be out there to help my team win and compete,” he said before Brooklyn took on the defending champion Denver Nuggets at Barclays Center. “But at the end of the day, it’s one of those things that’s a part of sports. Not every game’s promised. Читать дальше...

Atlanta dangled Clint Capela this past offseason, league sources told Yahoo Sports, and held significant discussions with the Dallas Mavericks before talks fell apart.
