Scoring
Jaden Springer can score with some of the best of college basketball’s guards. He has the ability to score at all three levels of the court. These scoring skills should translate well when he gets to the NBA. He was a driving force behind the Tennessee offense as a freshman last year. The NBA can never fill its need for scoring guards completely, so there will always be a spot for players like the young Tennessee freshman. Springer has the ability to slash, shoot from the mid-range, and can even hit consistently from beyond the arc as well.

Play-In Tournament Guidelines
The rules for the 2021 NBA play-in tournament are simple. In each conference, the top six seeds are set and guaranteed playoff spots in the 16-team playoff bracket. Teams that finished anywhere seven and ten in their respective conferences are set to compete for the seventh and eighth seeds in each conference. The seventh seed plays the eighth seed and the ninth seed plays the tenth seed. The team that wins the game between the seventh and eighth seed will earn the seventh seed. Meanwhile, the loser of the seventh and eighth seed matchup will play the winner of the ninth and tenth seed play-in game. From there, the team that wins that game will earn the eighth seed.
