  • Flory Bidunga Is the Story — The National Media Doesn’t Understand What It’s Watching
    Feb 11 2026

    Kansas basketball is dominating, but the national media is missing the story — the real star is Bidunga, not Melvin Council. In this episode, we break down the disconnect between the stats and the narrative, showing how Bidunga is anchoring Kansas’ top-ten defense, controlling the paint, and dominating elite competition. From game-winning blocks to advanced efficiency metrics, we expose why the national conversation continues to overlook the Player-of-the-Year candidate. Don’t miss this deep dive into what’s really happening on the court in the “Council Era.”https://theresourcenexus.com/flory-bidunga-is-the-story-and-the-national-media-is-missing-it/#KansasBasketball #Bidunga #CollegeBasketball #MarchMadness #PlayerOfTheYear #CBBAnalysis #NCAAB #AdvancedStats #BasketballAnalytics #DarynPeterson #MelvinCouncil #EliteDefense #MarchStrategy #CollegeHoops #BasketballBreakdown

  • NBA Trade Deadline: Grades & What Each Deal Signals
    Feb 5 2026


    The NBA trade deadline delivered chaos, confusion, and some massive swings — but did these teams actually get better?


    https://theresourcenexus.com/nba-trade-deadline-grades-2026/

    In this video, I break down the most important NBA trade deadline deals using analytics, timelines, and roster construction — not headlines. We dive into the Anthony Davis–Trae Young pairing in Washington, Dallas moving off AD, why Milwaukee holding Giannis may be a mistake, Utah’s expensive gamble on Jaren Jackson Jr., and which teams quietly won the deadline.

    This isn’t reactionary grading. It’s about value, contracts, injury risk, cap flexibility, and realistic contention windows.

    Topics covered:

    • Anthony Davis trade: Wizards vs Mavericks breakdown

    • Trae Young’s impact and long-term decline concerns

    • Why the Bucks keeping Giannis hurts their leverage

    • Jazz overpaying for Jaren Jackson Jr.

    • Cavs betting on James Harden over Darius Garland

    • Which trades actually raise playoff ceilings

    If you want real trade analysis instead of hot takes, this one’s for you.

  • The Canadian Coach College Basketball Is Sleeping On: Dave Smart
    Jan 30 2026

    Dave Smart is one of the most fascinating and under-discussed coaching prospects and figures in college basketball. After a brief adjustment period at Pacific, the results are starting to show, and the bigger picture is hard to ignore.

    In this episode, we dive into Smart’s unique background, his historic dominance at Carleton University, and why his Canadian pipeline gives him an edge most Division One coaches simply don’t have. We break down the data, the wins, the system, and why Smart might be one of the highest-upside coaching hires in the country if the right program is willing to take a swing.

    This is a conversation about coaching development, talent evaluation, and how success outside the traditional U.S. pipeline can still translate at the highest levels of college basketball. If you’re interested in Canadian basketball, under-the-radar coaching prospects, or finding the next big hire before everyone else catches on, this episode is for you.
