The Best College-Aged Player on Every NBA Team This Season
The NBA is full of young prospects who could still be playing in college, and it's also brimming with ripe young international talent.
With March Madness in full swing, we set out to find the top college-aged players on each squad in the Association. Who is the most statistically productive and impactful prodigy every franchise can boast?
Our list of gifted youngsters includes players who would still be balling in the NCAA had they stayed for a traditional four years (or in the case of transfers, their four years of eligibility). For international stars who never attended college in the U.S., we kept the age limit at 21.
In a league littered with baby-faced prospects, which top performers represent each franchise?
The list does not include the following teams that do not have a college-aged prospect: Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers.
Atlanta Hawks: Dennis Schroder, 6'1" PG
1 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 21 years, 177 days
College: N/A
2014-15 Stats: 19.0 MPG, 9.1 PPG, 4.0 APG, .433 FG%, .357 3FG%
It wasn't long ago that Dennis Schroder was an enigmatic 19-year-old making the jump from Germany to the NBA. A year-and-a-half later, he's one of the key role players on the top squad in the Eastern Conference.
In fact, he has quickly become one of the best backup point guards in the Association. Mike Budenholzer and the Atlanta Hawks staff have no problem handing him the keys whenever Jeff Teague needs a breather.
Schroder's assist percentage of 34.6 is better than half of the league's starting floor generals, thanks to his speed and vision. He's become masterful at getting into the lane and creating for himself and teammates. Through the first four games of March, Schroder averaged 7.5 assists per contest along with 14.8 points.
After entering the league as an exciting mystery, he's rapidly developed into a dependable playmaker. The next question is whether he can translate these skills to the playoffs.
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart, 6'4" PG
2 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 21 years, 5 days
College: Oklahoma State (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 26.1 MPG, 7.6 PPG, 3.4 APG, 1.3 SPG, .361 FG%, .325 3FG%
You rarely see first-year players with this kind of moxie and assertiveness. Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart isn't in the Rookie of the Year conversation, but he's certainly one of the best two-way newbies in the league.
His overall scoring is far from efficient, but his perimeter shooting has been promising. From beyond the arc, Smart is actually faring better this year (33 percent) than he did from the college line last year (30 percent). He's converting 37 percent of his catch-and-shoot triples, according to SportVU.
Defensively, he figures to be an elite stopper in the near future. Smart plays fearlessly and instinctively, and he has the strong frame and quickness to back it up. Celtics skipper Brad Stevens talked with ESPNBoston.com's Chris Forsberg about the youngster's boldness:
"He makes mistakes on both ends of the court, and he will always make mistakes on both ends of the court because he's kind of got that competitive edge that makes him sometimes take a risk or take a gamble. But most of the time his stuff pans out because of his aggressiveness. And that's a great person to build with.
"
When Boston makes its full-fledged return to the postseason next year, Smart will be a huge catalyst.
Brooklyn Nets: Sergey Karasev, 6'7" SF
3 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 21 years, 136 days
College: N/A
2014-15 Stats: 16.8 MPG, 4.6 PPG, 1.4 APG, .403 FG%, .296 3FG%
This selection aptly illustrates the Brooklyn Nets' relative lack of young talent. Sergey Karasev is their representative by default, as he's the only college-aged baller on the squad.
Drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013, Karasev rode the pine during his rookie year, but in Brooklyn he's been able to showcase his skills a little.
The Russian wing isn't an upper-tier athlete. He makes most of his plays with smooth movements, timely cuts and deft passing. For a young player, he has a great feel for the game and how to collaborate with teammates.
He left Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a knee injury, and the team announced Wednesday that he will miss the rest of the season due to a torn MCL.
Charlotte Hornets: Cody Zeller, 7'0" PF/C
4 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 22 years, 157 days
College: Indiana (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 24.1 MPG, 7.7 PPG, 5.8 RPG, .465 FG%, .778 FT%
Along with guys like Victor Oladipo and Noah Vonleh, Cody Zeller is a talented Indiana product who left long before Hoosiers fans would have liked.
A top-five pick in 2013, Zeller is still growing into his role as a two-way power forward for the Charlotte Hornets. He doesn't dazzle you in any one area, but he's solid all the way around.
Zeller's timing and end-to-end athleticism serve him well in the open floor, and he also owns a nice mid-range jumper and some post moves. Although his scoring hasn't spiked in Year 2, he's posting cleaner percentages from the field and charity stripe.
His defense has been particularly impressive this season. Zeller is holding opponents to 45 percent shooting on two-point field goals, which is 4 percent better than the rest of the league, per SportVU.
Denver Nuggets: Jusuf Nurkic, 6'11" C
5 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 20 years, 200 days
College: N/A
2014-15 Stats: 18.1 MPG, 7.2 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.3 BPG, .441 FG%, .667 FT%
Up until an ankle injury sidelined him, Jusuf Nurkic was one of the league's biggest surprises. The Denver Nuggets pulled off a quintessential European draft heist when they nabbed him 16th in 2014.
Leading up to the season, it was unclear how long it would take for Nurkic to acclimate to the NBA. Once he started seeing minutes in late December, it was apparent that he's confident and impactful on both ends of the floor.
His massive frame and bruising playing style have churned out 14-plus points and 13-plus rebounds per 36 minutes, as he wears down opponents around the rim. Nurkic is also blocking 2.6 shots in that time frame.
The most obvious next step for him is to become more disciplined in each phase. He must improve his field-goal percentage (from 44 percent) and drastically cut down the fouls (6.5 per 36 minutes).
Detroit Pistons: Andre Drummond, 6'11"
6 of 24
Year: Third
Age: 21 years, 213 days
College: Connecticut (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 30.0 MPG, 13.0 PPG, 13.1 RPG, 1.8 BPG, .505 FG%, .392 FT%
The basketball gods put catlike agility in the body of a grizzly bear. That's what the Detroit Pistons have in Andre Drummond, and they're lucky he fell to No. 9 overall in 2012.
He was built to thrive in open space and close quarters. Therefore, he's a pick-and-roll nightmare who inhales 15.7 rebounds and swats 2.2 shots per 36 minutes.
Drummond's offensive stats have not jumped this year, but he's taking encouraging steps to expand his game. He's mixing in some back-to-the-basket post-ups, baby hook shots and bankers. Instead of being almost exclusively a dunker, he's taking more than a quarter of his shots from the 3-to-10-foot range.
Good luck to the Central Division if his skill set continues to catch up with his offensive rebounding prowess and defensive tools.
Golden State Warriors: James Michael McAdoo, 6'9" PF
7 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 22 years, 66 days
College: North Carolina (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats (four games): 5.0 MPG, 3.5 PPG, 1.3 RPG, .714 FG%, .571 FT%
He's spent most of the season in the D-League, but we're including James Michael McAdoo because he's the only college-aged baller on the Warriors roster.
Once thought to be a top-10 prospect in 2012 and 2013, he's now stuck in limbo between the minor leagues and the big stage. With the Santa Cruz Warriors, he's putting up 19.4 points and 8.8 rebounds on 58 percent shooting, and he earned a D-League All-Star nod in February.
Will his size, athleticism and D-League production ever translate to a substantial NBA role?
Maybe, but it's hard to see him cracking the rotation of the Warriors anytime soon. His skills and feel for the game didn't develop throughout college the way scouts had hoped, so he still relies on his physical tools and explosiveness for most of his production.
Houston Rockets: K.J. McDaniels, 6'6" SF
8 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 22 years, 30 days
College: Clemson (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 23.7 MPG, 8.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, .397 FG%, .291 3FG%
It's difficult to tell whether newcomer K.J. McDaniels will be better than prospect Clint Capela in the future, but for now he's the Houston Rockets' best youngster.
He started the season with the Philadelphia 76ers, vastly outplaying his second-round pick status by attacking every area of the game. McDaniels drove the ball, scored from the perimeter, protected the rim and dogged swingman challengers.
During their trade-deadline flurry, the Sixers dealt him while his value was still high. Unsurprisingly, he holds a much smaller role in H-Town as a peripheral bench piece.
While McDaniels isn't in the top-rookie conversation anymore, the fact remains that he's a high-level defender who looks like he belongs in the league.
Los Angeles Clippers: Austin Rivers, 6'4" PG/SG
9 of 24
Year: Third
Age: 22 years, 222 days
College: Duke (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 21.1 MPG, 7.1 PPG, 2.2 APG, .399 FG%, .286 3FG%
Doc Rivers plucked his son from the New Orleans Pelicans in an effort to enhance his frontcourt, but Austin isn't positively impacting the Los Angeles Clippers on either end of the floor.
The Clippers score 109 points per 100 possessions when he's in action and 115.3 when he's sitting, per 82games.com. On defense, they surrender 111 when he's playing and 107.9 when he's benched.
Similar to his time in New Orleans, he doesn't collaborate dynamically with teammates or make them better. ESPN's Ryen Russillo aptly described Rivers' ball-dominant dilemma.
"Rivers is really struggling out there," he tweeted. "When your game is based on having the ball all the time, it just doesn't work unless you are special."
Los Angeles Lakers: Jordan Clarkson, 6'5" PG/SG
10 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 22 years, 277 days
College: Missouri (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 21.0 MPG, 9.4 PPG, 2.5 APG, .435 FG%, .297 3FG%
While Julius Randle nurses his leg back to health, let's focus on the Los Angeles Lakers' other 2014 draft prize, Jordan Clarkson.
Despite a breakout season at Missouri in 2013-14 (he transferred from Tulsa), he somehow slipped to the middle of the second round in last year's draft. A host of NBA teams are now kicking themselves for passing him up.
With an increased role as the season progresses, Clarkson has proved to be an electrifying young combo guard. His speed and length allow him to slice through the defense and make plays over opponents, and those same tools make him a potentially superb defender.
Jump shooting was his primary area of concern entering the league, but he's shooting 41 percent on pull-up jumpers, per SportVU. While the Lakers were unfortunate with Randle's opening-day injury, they were lucky to land a second-round steal in Clarkson.
Memphis Grizzlies: Jordan Adams, 6'5" SG
11 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 20 years, 246 days
College: UCLA (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 7.3 MPG, 2.6 PPG, 0.7 RPG, .474 FG%, .455 3FG%
Neither of Memphis' college-aged prospects serves a significant role for the Grizzlies. Between Jordan Adams and Jarnell Stokes, Adams makes a marginally greater impact.
Adams led UCLA to the Sweet 16 in last year's NCAA tourney, and he translated his smooth scoring talent and high draft stock into a first-round selection. He landed on a team with a veteran identity and culture, but there's reason to believe he can stick in the NBA.
Thanks to his polished scoring touch and tremendous off-ball instincts, he has a knack for finding high-percentage opportunities all over the floor. He compensates for mediocre agility with footwork, ball skills and sharp court awareness.
Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo, 6'11" SF
12 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 20 years, 95 days
College: N/A
2014-15 Stats: 30.4 MPG, 12.3 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 2.5 APG, .493 FG%, .737 FT%
It would probably be a close race between Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo for Milwaukee's "Best Young Player" honors, but we'll disqualify Parker due to ACL rehab.
The Greek Freak is worthy of praise anyway, so the Bucks have plenty to be excited about moving forward.
When Milwaukee drafted him less than two years ago, everyone wondered whether the raw teenager would see meaningful minutes early in his career. He turned out to be a surprisingly impactful rookie, and as a sophomore he's a key cog on a playoff-bound squad.
Antetokounmpo is still ironing out his jump shot, but there's little he can't do on the floor. His per-36 minute numbers illustrate how influential his physical tools and motor are: 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.3 blocks and 4.8 free-throw attempts.
The rest of the league should shudder at the fact that he's barely 20 years old.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Andrew Wiggins, 6'8" SG/SF
13 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 20 years, 16 days
College: Kansas (would be sophomore in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 35.0 MPG, 15.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG, .436 FG%, .340 3FG%
Speaking of jaw-dropping prospects who just turned 20, Andrew Wiggins looks like he's on course to reach stardom early in his career.
A relatively modest freshman year at Kansas helped bring expectations back down to earth for the hyped Canadian prospect. Midway through his rookie campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he settled into his role as a shoot-and-slash weapon and wing stopper.
Since January 1, he's notched 20 games of 18-plus points. He's become a confident creator on the wing, and as expected, he's an absolute terror in transition. Meanwhile, he might even be scarier right now as a defender, as Zach Harper of CBS Sports explains:
"There have been 18 players in the NBA this season that have defended at least 80 possessions in isolation and Wiggins is the sixth best defender on that list. He rarely fouls in those situations (5.9 percent of those possessions end up at the free throw line) and opponents score only 38.8 percent of the time.
"
Give him two years, and he'll be one of the top five two-way players in the league.
New Orleans Pelicans: Anthony Davis, 6'10" PF
14 of 24
Year: Third
Age: 22 years, 0 days
College: Kentucky (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 35.6 MPG, 24.5 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 2.8 BPG, .545 FG%, .830 FT%
Anthony Davis' statistics don't match his age. But then again, we're talking about the kid who led Kentucky to an NCAA crown as a gangly freshman.
His skill set, poise and command of the game don't match his age either. He's systematically dominating opponents on offense and defense, and he's single-handedly keeping the New Orleans Pelicans in the playoff hunt.
Power forwards and centers can't contain him because he mixes rebounding tenacity with face-up fluidity and shooting efficiency. Meanwhile, they can't solve him on defense because he can cover acres in a single, swift stride.
The result is an analytics nerd's dream. He is posting a 31.4 player efficiency rating, .602 true shooting percentage and 1.4 blocks per foul committed.
His outburst Monday in New Orleans' win over Milwaukee (43 points, 17-of-23 shooting, 10 rebounds and six assists) showed how valuable he is. In the likely event that he misses out on MVP honors, his season should still go down as one of the best by any power forward of this era.
New York Knicks: Shane Larkin, 5'11" PG
15 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 22 years, 160 days
College: Miami (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 22.7 MPG, 5.7 PPG, 2.5 APG, .422 FG%, .323 3FG%
Shane Larkin was a vastly superior athlete and elite playmaker against collegiate competition, but he's not in the ACC anymore.
It's much tougher for the diminutive point guard to create separation and execute plays in the NBA. He's learning the hard way during the New York Knicks' tumultuous season, averaging just 4.0 assists per 36 minutes and shooting 42 percent from the field.
His foot speed and explosiveness match up with the top athletes in the league, but it's tricky for him to be a difference-maker when he's undersized almost every game. His effort in every facet is unquestionable, however.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Mitch McGary, 6'10" PF
16 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 22 years, 278 days
College: Michigan (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 15.4 MPG, 6.9 PPG, 5.2 RPG, .506 FG%, .654 FT%
It was a tough choice between Steven Adams and Mitch McGary. Of the two Oklahoma City big men, Adams is a far better defender and has seen more minutes, but McGary has outplayed him in nearly every other category and metric.
According to 82games.com, McGary's net points per 100 possessions is plus-2.2, whereas Adams' is minus-0.2. The Michigan product just does so much more on the offensive end, and he's a better per-minute rebounder as well.
McGary reminds me of a more athletic version of David Lee. He's a cagey lefty who can face up, post up, work off the ball and knock down the elbow-range jumper. With great awareness of his teammates and a nose for the ball, he's averaging 12.2 rebounds per 36 minutes, including 4.9 offensive boards.
His health has been a limiting factor as he transitions from college to the pro ranks. If he can stay on the floor more consistently, he'll be a top-shelf role player for OKC and go down as a 2014 draft steal.
Orlando Magic: Elfrid Payton, 6'4" PG
17 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 21 years, 17 days
College: Louisiana-Lafayette (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 28.6 MPG, 8.0 PPG, 5.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, .414 FG%, .547 FT%
It's crazy to think Elfrid Payton could still be playing against Sun Belt competition right now if he wanted to.
But he smartly cashed in on his high draft stock, earning a top-10 selection in the 2014 draft and a place in Orlando's starting lineup. He's going through some inevitable growing pains, but the Magic must love his multidimensional impact on the game.
As Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com pointed out, Payton is in the top 10 among rookies in six different categories. That's because he can defend multiple positions, attack the rim, make innovative passes and rebound exceptionally well for his position.
While he's slowly gaining confidence in his jump shot, it's still his biggest deficiency. His improvement in that department will determine his NBA ceiling.
Philadelphia 76ers: Nerlens Noel, 6'11" PF/C
18 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 20 years, 335 days
College: Kentucky (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 30.8 MPG, 8.8 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 1.9 BPG, .444 FG%, .610 FT%
With Michael Carter-Williams out the door and Joel Embiid still rehabbing his foot, Nerlens Noel is the clear-cut top youngster on the Philadelphia 76ers right now.
His scoring repertoire is still raw, but he's doing a much better job of attacking, rebounding and getting to the free-throw line. In February and March, he's averaging four-plus free-throw attempts per game, a nice improvement over barely two attempts per night from November through January.
While Noel's offense continues to develop, his defense is already a huge nuisance for opponents. His quickness, awareness and energy as a frontcourt stopper have led to 1.9 blocks per game and a defensive rating of 99.
When Philly finally puts the optimal pieces in place alongside him, it will only enhance his impact and production.
Phoenix Suns: Alex Len, 7'1" C
19 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 21 years, 268 days
College: Maryland (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 21.7 MPG, 6.5 PPG, 6.6 RPG, .526 FG%, .722 3FG%
The Phoenix Suns' post-All-Star slide has been hard to watch, but there's still plenty of optimism surrounding the team's core.
Coach Jeff Hornacek will be one of the first to point out that Alex Len is a big part of the future plans. The Ukrainian-bred prospect went No. 5 in 2013 via Maryland, and this year he's finally healthy and showcasing his skills.
"Alex is one of our hardest workers in the weight room," Hornacek told Matt Petersen of Suns.com. "He works extremely hard with the coaches. He watches a lot of video. He’s just really mature and is really a professional guy for a 21-year-old. I think you see the results of that."
We do see the results of it: He's averaging a double-double plus 2.6 blocks per 36 minutes, exhibiting increased strength and an expanded low-post assertiveness.
Sacramento Kings: Ben McLemore, 6'5" SG
20 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 22 years, 28 days
College: Kansas (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 32.9 MPG, 11.9 PPG, 2.9 RPG, .430 FG%, .354 3FG%
I thought Nik Stauskas was going to give Ben McLemore a run for his spot as the Sacramento Kings' primary off-guard.
Stauskas ended up struggling more than anticipated, while McLemore also improved significantly. The former one-and-done Kansas Jayhawk is shooting the rock more efficiently and executing better on defense than he did in 2013-14.
His perimeter defense has been particularly effective, as he's holding opponents to 32 percent shooting outside 15 feet, per SportVU. That's one of the main reasons Sac-Town surrenders 8.4 fewer points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor compared to when he's sitting, per 82games.com.
Don't forget about the highlight-reel acrobatics. He's sensational in the open floor, making turnovers and defensive mistakes that much more costly for foes.
San Antonio Spurs: Kyle Anderson, 6'9" G/F
21 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 21 years, 172 days
College: UCLA (would be junior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 12.6 MPG, 2.6 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.0 APG, .358 FG%, .273 3FG%
The San Antonio Spurs' lone college-aged baller is Kyle Anderson, who was an enigmatic draftee coming out of UCLA.
He's only played 27 games for Gregg Popovich, failing to muster much production unless his mid-range shot is cooking. Anderson hasn't yet gained the wherewithal to counteract the speed and agility of NBA players, so his playmaking creativity has been spotty.
However, he's made some promising strides during his stints with the Austin Spurs of the D-League. Anderson is averaging 22.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists down on the farm, and he won NBADL Player of the Month honors for February.
Can he successfully make the transition to full-time San Antonio duties in the near future? That depends on his three-point shooting and defensive capabilities.
Toronto Raptors: Bruno Caboclo, 6'9" F
22 of 24
Year: Rookie
Age: 19 years, 171 days
College: N/A
2014-15 Stats (four games): 4.0 MPG, 2.0 PPG, 0.5 RPG, .333 FG%, .667 3FG%
Jonas Valanciunas and Lucas Nogueira are both over our 21-year-old age limit, so Brazilian teenager Bruno Caboclo gets the nod for the Toronto Raptors.
Like James Michael McAdoo of the Warriors and Kyle Anderson of the Spurs, he hasn't spent much time on the NBA hardwood even though he's technically on the big league roster. He's spent most of the 2014-15 campaign bouncing back and forth between the Raptors and their shared D-League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
We're not going to know exactly where he is in the development process until he gets consistent appearances on the Mad Ants or Raptors. For now, we're stuck marveling at his rangy, fluid athleticism and the occasional 10-minute stint in Fort Wayne.
Utah Jazz: Trey Burke, 6'1" PG
23 of 24
Year: Second
Age: 22 years, 119 days
College: Michigan (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 30.9 MPG, 12.8 PPG, 4.5 APG, .371 FG%, .318 3FG%
With apologies to promising rookies Dante Exum and Rodney Hood, sophomore Trey Burke is still the best college-aged player on the Utah Jazz.
That being said, he's having a rough stretch at the helm of the team's offense. It's been a roller-coaster season for him, and he's clearly in one of the low stretches, shooting 29 percent from the field and 16 percent from distance so far in March.
His ball-handling skills and creativity are impressive, but he lacks that extra gear for separation and struggles to shoot consistently—hence the underwhelming .457 true shooting percentage.
While his offense has been inconsistent at best, his defense has been consistently poor. Burke has difficulty corralling opposing playmakers, and you can tell he's just not a natural talent on that end of the court.
It may not be long before Hood and Exum surpass him when it comes to value and impact.
Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal, 6'5" SG
24 of 24
Year: Third
Age: 21 years, 256 days
College: Florida (would be senior in 2014-15)
2014-15 Stats: 33.4 MPG, 14.8 PPG, 3.0 APG, .420 FG%, .417 3FG%
Bradley Beal's leg injury and shooting slump contributed to the Washington Wizards' recent woes, but he has time to regain his midseason groove and help the club improve come spring.
John Wall's favorite target was red-hot throughout December and January, but toe and fibula maladies derailed him in February. He's just getting back into a rhythm, scoring 13-plus points in each of his last three games.
When healthy, Beal remains one of the most lethal young shooters in the league. For the balance of the season, he's drilling 43 percent of his catch-and-shoot triples, per SportVU. He's also attacking closeouts and creating off the bounce using his underrated ball-handling skills and passing vision.
The Wizards' stock is down at the moment. Among other things, the team needs Beal to start boiling again if it wants to go deep in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all stats come from Basketball-Reference.com and NBA.com and are current heading into March 11.
