Ime Udoka turns focus to attacking zone defenses, creating space

As the Houston Rockets gear up for the 2025-26 season, head coach Ime Udoka is prioritizing offense, particularly in countering zone defenses. With offseason acquisitions like Kevin Durant, who shot over 40% from three last season, and Clint Capela, a reliable lob threat, the Rockets aim to enhance their offensive versatility. This shift comes after a successful 2024-25 season characterized by a top-five defense but limited scoring efficiency.

Udoka's coaching staff regularly assesses strategies from various leagues and will apply these insights to leverage the strengths of their new players. The integration of these athletes is expected to create better spacing on the court and open up scoring opportunities, complementing the Rockets' existing defensive prowess.

How will the Rockets' defense hold up with these offensive changes?What are the expectations for the Rockets this season?How will Udoka's approach differ from past coaches?What should we expect from second-year guard Reed Sheppard?

Steph Curry Shares Missed Play Involving Cooper Flagg - Athlon Sports

Cooper Flagg, selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2025 NBA Draft, has generated significant buzz since joining the league. His journey was highlighted by a moment shared with Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, who recently acknowledged Flagg's arrival in the NBA via social media. Despite Curry's reputation for offense over defense, Flagg's ability to navigate this challenge speaks volumes about his skill set.

Flagg, known for his impressive stats during his single season with the Duke Blue Devils, where he averaged 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds, is now tasked with turning around a Mavericks team that struggled last season. As he enters the league, the pressure to perform against elite defenders intensifies, particularly when facing off against teams like the Warriors, who dominated them in their previous encounters. Flagg's performance could redefine the Mavericks' trajectory in the league.

What unique qualities does Cooper Flagg bring to the Mavericks?What are the biggest expectations for Flagg this season?How will Flagg's relationship with Curry evolve throughout the season?What strategies should the Mavericks implement to support Flagg's success?

Los Angeles Lakers sign UNC basketball guard RJ Davis to two-way deal

RJ Davis, the standout guard from the University of North Carolina, has signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers after going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft. Throughout his five-year collegiate career, Davis averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, with a remarkable final season where he was named the ACC Player of the Year. His strong performance in college and shooting accuracy—41.8% from the field and 36.7% from beyond the arc—demonstrated his potential to contribute at the professional level.

This quick signing by the Lakers suggests a significant interest, and Davis will have the opportunity to showcase his skills during the NBA Summer League, where he can compete for a regular roster spot. His journey from a top collegiate player to an NBA hopeful is one to watch as he aims to make an impact with the storied franchise.

What impact could RJ Davis's signing have on the Lakers' depth chart?What role can RJ Davis expect to play during the Summer League?What lessons can RJ Davis learn from his time with the Lakers?How can the Lakers use RJ Davis in their offensive scheme?

Social media reacts: Bucks select Bogoljub Markovic 47th in NBA draft

The Milwaukee Bucks made headlines by selecting international prospect Bogoljub Markovic with the 47th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Standing at 6-foot-11, Markovic showcased impressive stats while playing for Mega Basket in Serbia, averaging 13.7 points and 6.8 rebounds across 30 games. His shooting ability was notable, with a 37% success rate from beyond the arc and 53.8% from the field overall.

Draft analyst Jonathan Givony highlighted Markovic's potential, noting his ability to space the floor and contribute on both ends of the court.

Social media reactions to the Bucks' choice were varied, reflecting the mixed feelings of fans regarding this international pick.
