Our Princeton friends spend a lot of time focused on Xavian Lee and Caden Pierce (and implicitly what might have been for the Tigers), and fair enough. Meanwhile, we haven’t heard much about Danny Wolf and Yale’s own ‘what might have been.’ Wolf is averaging 8.8 points per game for the Brooklyn Nets, 11.4 ppg in the last ten games as his time in the rotation has increased. Add Wolf to his classmates Nick Townsend and Casey Simmons and the rest of this Eli team - James Jones would have had some high class problems in allocating playing time. Yale might be heading into Tuscaloosa in nine days as favorites. But I’m enjoying this year’s team just fine.

I stumbled across this video while tumbling down another YouTube basketball rabbit hole. Thought you might find it interesting.
He’s exceeded my expectations in the NBA. He had a roughly timed ankle sprain to start the year but it seems to be a blessing in disguise to be drafted to the Nets where he can be a primary playmaker when on the floor.
Funny clip from Draymond Green about the “Jewish Joker”
Thanks! He was interesting as a Yale freshman, really good as a Yale sophomore, better at Michigan and seemingly still improving.
Thanks for the video; I had lost track of his NBA career. He looks legit.
