Hosted by Cooper Hird, the Hird It Here NBA Podcast acts as an outlet for a basketball fanatic learning the ins-and-outs of the NBA, mostly through the NBA Draft. As a full-time data analyst, I aim to bring a nuanced approach to the stats that modern sports rely upon, but the some fan struggle to contextualize. By translating analytics to plain English, and combining it with what we see on the court, I aim to help make the modern basketball fan (and analyst!) more capable of evaluating the game of basketball, where analytics are simply one tool at our disposal.

Is the G League Ignite a Failure?
<p>Adam Silver made some slightly surprising comments a couple weeks ago regarding the current state of the G League Ignite program, and prospect development overall. I go over some of the ramifications of his comments, and tried to fairly judge whether the G League Ignite program has been more or less successful at preparing its prospects for the NBA. I compare to situations like the NBL's Next Stars program, OTE, Prep School, and prospects like Darius Garland and Michael Porter Jr. who missed their year of college before going pro.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Overall, do I think the G League Ignite is a failed program? No, I think that's too far. But I think it needs a reboot and a re-envisioning of what the end goal is, not just of the Ignite but the entire G League.</p>

Sidy Cissoko + Spurs Propaganda
<p>Hey folks! Today I was lucky enough to have TWO phenomenal guests to talk about the San Antonio Spurs draft - Evan Townsend (@EvanTownsend_) and Mike Garcia (@CanyonDriver)!</p> <p><br></p> <p>We mostly talked about Alamo City's other new Frenchman, Sidy Cissoko, as well as little time on Wembanyama, the Leonard Miller trade, and a couple minutes on Sir'Jabari Rice and the three Exhibit-10 players signed thus far (Charles Bediako, Seth Millner, and Logan Johnson).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thanks again to Mike and Evan for taking the time to record! Apologies in advance but I accidentally used my AirPods to record audio so there's a few glitchy spots, I tried to smooth it out so hopefully y'all still enjoy!</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can also follow me on Twitter at @HirdItHereHoops!</p>

Victor Wembanyama's Path to Greatness w/ Evan Townsend
<p>Hey folks - Evan Townsend (contributor to Project Spurs and kindly cult leader of Spurs Twitter Spaces) was kind enough to join me to talk about the future face of the Spurs franchise, Victor Wembanyama. We talked a little bit about guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ralph Sampson, and Rik Smits as comparisons for the specific skills Wemby has flashed thus far, but mostly just talked about the greatness of the French fellow that is soon to be kicking it in Bexar County!</p> <p><br></p> <p>I also wrote an article about Wemby and comparing parts of his game to certain uber-tall players in the past. Check it out here: https://hirditheresports.substack.com/p/is-there-anyone-like-victor-wembanyama</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Evan on Twitter @EvanTownsend_</p> <p>Follow me on Twitter @HirdItHereHoops</p> <p><br></p>
