As the Parade Winds Down, Draft Prep Does Too
Our friends at You+Dallas bring us this outstanding look at last week's Mavericks championship parade: But as the euphoria wanes a bit into the doldrums of another Texas summer, what is next for the Mavs? Whenever the labor situation is figured out (could take a while), they have important...
NBA Draft Open Thread
The 2011 Draft, held this Thursday, is the first victim of the contentious CBA negotiations between the NBA and the Player's Association. Fearing the opportunity cost of a missed season, most of college basketball's top prospects returned to school, reversing a decade-long trend. That should...
Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson to Declare for the 2011 NBA Draft
It's been fun guys. You too, Dogus. Cursing Rick Barnes has become a pastime if you’re a Longhorn hoops fan. Considering this unexpected news, maybe Rick Barnes is just cursed? In talking with a few people close to the players that would know these kind of up-to-the-minute aspirations, it’s...
NBA Scouting 101: The Five-Tool Basketball Player (And A Look at Texas’ NBA Prospects)
Basketball can be thought of as live-action chess. Each side has five pieces (ideally) moving in unity with the goal of shooting a ball into a basket. The offense tries to create a situation where a player can get an open look at the basket, while the defense tries to prevent the same...
Mavs Summer 2010
Please make welcome to the center stage, HornMafia! He'll be doing work with us here on FanTake on a variety of sites. Here's his view of the Dallas Mavericks this summer. -- S.R.

NBA Draft Tonight
I can't let this glorious event pass by without giving it some love, especially since it is now (and will continue to be) Longhorn hoops heavy. While most of you will still be in line waiting to buy the new Iphone, the future of NBA franchises will be at stake (ok maybe one or two franchise with...
Varez Ward Shawn Williams Get Redshirts; Avery and DJ Update
According to ESPN, the NCAA has granted Ward and Williams medical red shirts for the 2009-2010 season. The NCAA hasn't ruled on whether UT fans do or not. This excites me for some reason even though it was expected. These guys should be solid program guys for the next few years. Ward will be a...
Avery Bradley Signs with an Agent
Indeed a startling turn of events in the sports news cycle, on par with Janet Napolitano professing her fanatic love for the WNBA, Avery Bradley has signed with an agent. Even more surprising is there seems to be a contingent of NBA scouts/coaches/execs that have the hubris to think they can turn...
Kevin Durant The Future of The Thunder
The Thunder are thundering(!?) down the stretch, having just dispatched the execrable 76ers in Philly by 19. My favorite atmospheric disturbance is now 45-28, playoff locked and roster loaded, and firmly in the mix to plant anywhere from a #3 to a #8 seed in the competitive, fertile West. I just...
Avery Bradley: One and Done?
Looks like it. NBAdraft.net learned (and tweeted) Monday that Bradley intends to enter his name into the NBA draft, having already planned to ship his car home to Washington and will head home on Wednesday. It's a tough loss for Texas fans trying to figure out how things actually get better next...
