January 29, 2026 2026 NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Top 5 Is WAY Better Than The Rest
Cyro Asseo breaks down HoopsHype’s Aggregate 2026 NBA Mock Draft 3.0,
updated Jan. 23, 2026, as a “special” class starts to come into focus.
In this episode (28–35 minutes), Cyro explains why the Top 3 is
separating while the rest of the board remains volatile — with injuries,
slow starts, and hot stretches reshaping the consensus every week.
Cyro also digs into a key theme scouts keep repeating: this is a
guard-and-wing-heavy draft with questionable frontcourt depth, plus a
fascinating split late in the first round between prospects who could
return to school for NIL and older/overseas players who are locks to
declare.
Top prospects covered early:
Darryn Peterson (Kansas)
AJ Dybantsa (BYU)
Cameron Boozer (Duke)
Caleb Wilson (North Carolina)
Mikel Brown Jr. (Louisville)

January 22, 2026 Knicks Interested In Yves Missi & Jose Alvarado
The New York Knicks are surveying the trade market with a clear focus on
defensive identity and backcourt toughness. Per SNY’s Ian Begley, New
York has shown interest in Yves Missi and Jose Alvarado—two players who
bring energy, disruption, and edge on both ends of the floor.
In this breakdown, Cyro Asseo examines how Missi’s rim protection,
mobility, and rebounding could stabilize New York’s interior rotation,
while Alvarado’s point-of-attack defense and tempo-changing pressure fit
perfectly with Mike Brown’s system. These targets reveal what the
Knicks are prioritizing: defensive versatility, playoff-ready intensity,
and complementary pieces around Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Are the Knicks positioning themselves for a marginal upgrade—or a
structural shift in how they defend at the highest level?

January 22, 2026 Pacers, Pelicans Discussing Yves Missi Trade For Bennedict Mathurin
The Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly engaged in
trade talks centered around a potential Yves Missi–for–Bennedict
Mathurin framework, per Jake Fischer of The Stein Line. It’s a concept
that connects two franchises at very different crossroads—Indiana
balancing long-term upside with win-now pressure, and New Orleans
rethinking its frontcourt identity.
In this breakdown, Cyro Asseo explores why Missi’s rim protection and
vertical spacing could appeal to the Pacers, how Mathurin’s shot
creation and scoring punch might fit alongside Zion Williamson and Derik
Queen, and what this signals about each team’s broader direction.
Is this the kind of structural reset New Orleans needs? And would
Indiana really move off a former lottery scorer for a defensive anchor?

their playoff push. Per ESPN, the front office has shown interest in

Peyton Watson—each offering a different blend of defense, athleticism,
and two-way impact.
In this breakdown, Cyro Asseo analyzes what each player brings, how they
fit next to LeBron James and Luka Doncic, and which archetype the
Lakers truly need at the deadline. From perimeter stoppers to
high-upside wings, this is a look at the strategic direction L.A. may be
heading—and what it signals about their championship window.

needle in the West?

January 22, 2026 Who Can Replace Jimmy Butler? Golden State Warriors’ Top Trade Options Explained
With Jimmy Butler officially ruled out for the season after a torn ACL, Cyro Asseo breaks down realistic Golden State Warriors trade options to stabilize the roster and stay competitive in the Western Conference playoff race.

Cyro starts with a Warriors team snapshot—a 25–20 record, top-10 net rating (+2.9), and elite three-point volume—before detailing how Butler’s injury removes 20.0 PPG, primary wing defense, and secondary playmaking from an already fragile rotation. With Seth Curry and Al Horford also sidelined, Golden State is facing a depth and balance crisis.

From there, the video explores external trade solutions tied directly to the team’s statistical needs:

Tyus Jones (Magic) as a steady, low-turnover point guard who can reduce Golden State’s ball security issues and ease the offensive burden on Stephen Curry.

Klay Thompson (Mavericks) as a familiar system fit to address shooting consistency and wing scoring.

Daniel Gafford (Mavericks) as a solution to the Warriors’ bottom-third defensive rebounding and lack of interior presence.

Cyro ties each option back to Golden State’s data-driven weaknesses—29th in three-point percentage despite leading the league in attempts, turnover issues, and minimal rim pressure—while evaluating how these moves would reshape the rotation around Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and the Warriors’ guard-heavy core.

The breakdown concludes with a needs-based trade philosophy, outlining how Golden State can replace Butler’s impact by committee rather than chasing a single star, while preserving flexibility ahead of the postseason push.
