Great time breaking down film with projected 1st round pick MarJon Beauchamp at the NBA Combine in Chicago. Energetic two-way wing who impacts the game without needing any plays called for him. Love his activity. Improving perimeter shooter.
The top-3 picks in the draft rarely end up becoming the best players in their class. @Mike_Schmitz and me looked at four prospects who might end up being better than the 'Big Three' long-term espn.com/nba/insider/st…
Footage of Santa Clara's Jalen Williams from the BDA Pro Day The 6'6 wing put his 7'2 wingspan, 39 inch vertical and 40% 3-point stroke on display in front of an array of NBA executives in Santa Barbara today.
New on YouTube: ESPN Film Session with one of the biggest winners of the pre-draft process, Jalen Williams. 6-6, 7-2 wingspan, defends multiple positions, touch from 3 & great PnR feel. Really enjoyed talking 🏀 and learning more about Jalen’s trajectory. youtu.be/o6OxjcC6pTg
Top international prospect Henri Veesaar has committed to Arizona, he told ESPN. The 7-foot, 18-year old is considered arguably the most promising European prospect committing to the college route in the class of 2022. Story: es.pn/3LLkY0C
Great time breaking down film with former Colorado forward Jabari Walker this afternoon in Santa Barbara. Still just 19 years old, the 6-8 Walker had a strong showing at the NBA Combine averaging 14 PTS and 7 REBS over two games while shooting 40% from 3. Skilled and versatile.
Will be releasing short breakdown tapes that didn't make it onto our NBA Combine show. First up, Dyson Daniels of the G League Ignite. Quick look at a few of the plays that illustrate his two-way impact and feel for the game at 6-8.
A furious, emotional and fed up Steve Kerr pleaded with senators to do something about the mass shootings.
Full 2022 NBA Combine recap and top-100 update on ESPN from @Mike_Schmitz and me, including a look at where things stand at No. 1 with Orlando and Jabari Smith: espn.com/nba/insider/st…
Let’s go! 🇺🇬

New on YouTube: ESPN Film Session with potential top-5 pick, Keegan Murray. youtu.be/KJCOZutzhgk
Great to break down film with potential lottery pick Ousmane Dieng in Chicago. We took a look at how the New Zealand Breakers forward compares to another French wing. The 19-year-old Dieng is still at an early stage of development but is really skilled and fluid at 6-10.
Full 10-minute interview with Karlo Matkovic from earlier this year in Belgrade: youtu.be/HpSY2HO8Aec. Bouncy, energetic big man with a budding skill set. x.com/draftexpress/s…

ESPN Film Session with Ohio State star forward and projected 1st round pick, EJ Liddell youtu.be/GF5Pvtyo134
Big showing for Mega Mozzart's Karlo Matkovic at the Excel Pro Day. Wasn't on many teams' radar prior but walked out with a slew of workout invites. Bouncy 6'11 big with a much nicer stroke than you'd expect considering he's barely taken any 3s in his career. Has some good buzz.

ESPN Film Session with Ohio State star forward and projected 1st round pick, EJ Liddell youtu.be/GF5Pvtyo134
Yes Sir!!
Spent some time with potential top pick Chet Holmgren in Santa Barbara. We broke down film and talked through some of his go-to moves on the court. Here’s a portion of the interview that aired this afternoon on NBA Today. Much more to come on ESPN YouTube.
It’s only fitting that the Mexican pizza is back at Taco Bell today. Happy birthday to my brother @Mike_Schmitz . Love you man!
Happy birthday to the man, the myth, my brother, and the legend, @Mike_Schmitz keep on keepin on my dude 😎 love you
“I feel like trying to be someone else is harder than being yourself.” I profiled Iowa's Keegan Murray @ringer ahead of the NBA draft. A story about work ethic, family, late bloomers, perfectionism, and trusting in one's journey: theringer.com/2022/5/19/2312…
Kid is SPECIAL
Spent the day with projected No. 1 pick Chet Holmgren in Santa Barbara. Stay tuned for some really cool content with the 2022 draft’s top prospect.
Really enjoyed the piece from @Mike_Schmitz, @kpelton and @DraftExpress on the lessons learned from their prospect evaluation misses (both too high and too low). Reflection and self-evaluation are so important and they did a great job: espn.com/nba/insider/in…
Here in Santa Barbara watching one of best coaches I’ve been around @bucketsworth handle pre draft workout for Ben Mathurin. Charlie doing an amazing job preparing 19 y.o. Lottery pick. #Veritas
Five-star senior Julian Phillips announces his commitment to Tennessee, becoming the Volunteers' sixth five-star recruit in their last four recruiting classes. Adds an element of versatility and huge potential to what was already a top-20 roster. Big for Rick Barnes' program.
Working!
Watched Ohio State star EJ Liddell workout in Santa Barbara this week. In great shape, shooting it comfortably from beyond the arc. One of the most productive players in the draft with game film that speaks for itself. Averaged 19.4 PTS, 7.9 REBS, 2.4 AST + 2.5 BLK in 33.1 MIN.
EJ is a beast. If you watched him this year, you see it. PRO. @EasyE2432
🏀 Sorry for the lack of #NBADraft content this weekend… Was busy winning my own Lottery😊
My favorite part of Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell’s game is his chase down block ability. Had some monster highlight block. @backcourtv and I recently discussed his underrated athleticism, switchability, and more. Full clip ➡️ youtu.be/ESV0JFQ_g_Q
Whoaaaa
Who is the true prize of the 2023 NBA Draft? Victor Wembanyama. We often overuse the term "generational prospect." This is not one of those times. espn.com/nba/insider/st…
@ridley_shema landed safely in LA. I can’t thank @Mike_Schmitz enough for connecting Ridley with Veritus Prep in LA. Great opportunity for Ridley to build, work hard & achieve his goals. Thanks to the Veritus coaches for taking a chance on him and giving him this opportunity.
There are not enough words to describe my gratitude and excitement for this opportunity. Thrilled to return to my hometown as I join the ESPN MMA family to cover UFC 274 and a sport I love so much. espnfrontrow.com/?p=184506 via @ESPNFrontRow
