During the NBA, college and international seasons, my Tuesday newsletter will focus on NBA rookies and sophomores as well as prospects for the 2022 NBA Draft, especially those who have helped or hurt their stock in the past week.

He had 22 points, three rebounds, six assists and three steals and shot 4-for-6 from 3 in his first game for the Pacers against Cleveland on Friday and followed it up against the Timberwolves on Sunday with a huge 22-point, six-rebound, 16-assist game in which he shot 6-for-12 from 3.
