Hyland doesn’t lack confidence – on or off the court. For example, he started some of his meetings at the NBA Draft Combine by rapping for the decision-makers in attendance. “I rapped for some of the teams; I have some songs that I’ve made and I did a little snippet of those for them, and they loved it!” Hyland told BasketballNews.com in July. “Just right off the bat, from the rip, I was rapping. I ain’t shy. They just loved me, honestly.”
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

With his style of play and personality, Denver rookie Bones Hyland is becoming a fan favorite.
“I’m that guy who’s got the best personality,” @BizzyBones11 told me in July. “No matter what, I can light up a room. I’m a kid you’re gonna fall in love with.” basketballnews.com/stories/nugget… – 4:15 PM

Coach Malone said “the ball was flying” when I asked about the 33 assists. He then broke it down by player, because it was a collective passing effort. Here’s the full rundown:
Jokić 8
Campazzo 8
Morris 4
Gordon 4
Hyland 3
(Jeff) Green 3
Reed 2
(JaMychal) Green 1 – 11:30 PM

Denver takes a 72-56 lead over the Spurs a half.
Markus Howard is lighting it up from deep as he has 5 3-pointers.
Bones Hyland is shooting lights out with 11 early points & Jokic remains the best player in the world.
If you’re Coach Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 9:44 PM

Jokic is 3 of 3 from 3-point range, but it’s the firm of Hyland & Howard that’s hurting the Spurs. H&H is a combined 8 of 12 from distance off the bench.
Overall, the Nuggets have hit 12 of 22 shots from deep (57.1%) to lead 59-40 with 4:10 left in first half. – 9:36 PM

Bones Hyland did his best to try to prevent JaMychal Green from getting that technical foul.
Green STILL picked up the technical foul.
The vet has been smarter about the decision making – 9:23 PM

Three straight 3-pointers for Bones Hyland.
Microwave type of scorer that only needs to see one go in before he’s feeling it.
Well, he’s feeling it. – 9:20 PM
