Brayden Burries declares for 2026 NBA Draft, doubling Arizona’s one-and-done departures
The first handful of games were bumpy, but by the end of the 2025-26 season Brayden Burries had established himself as Arizona’s go-to scorer by showing off the skill set that made him a highly coveted pro prospect. Burries will now take those skills to the next level, officially declaring for the 2026 NBA Draft […]
The Knicks made progress in some areas in Game 3, but crippling problems remain
If Mikal Bridges’ stepback mid-range went in on Monday… If that blocked Jalen Johnson dunk attempt bounced your way on Thursday… The Knicks are a pair of bounces away from this series being all but over, up 3-0. Any neutral basketball fan would expect that, in a one-possession game in the final minute, the team […]

Joel Embiid ruled out for Game 3 vs. Celtics after participating in practice
Well, this is all moving quite fast now, isn’t it? The Sixers released their injury report ahead of Game 3 as the first round series shifts to Philadelphia, and Joel Embiid wasn’t initially ruled out on it. He is listed as doubtful with post appendectomy surgery recovery. It’s truly remarkable that Embiid could play in […]

As expected, Alba Berlin combo guard Jack Kayil has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft, according to agents Kevin Bradbury and Milan Nikolic.

Initial Thoughts on the Caleb Banks Pick
When I first discovered that the Minnesota Vikings picked Caleb Banks with the 18th pick, I was completely surprised. My first thought was what a poor value it was for the Vikings at that point in the draft- Banks was expected to go in the second round and there really wasn’t any buzz about him […]
Trevor Zegras and Porter Martone are the Men We Need
One year ago, the Philadelphia Flyers were sitting on their couches, hoping the ping pong balls might fall their way at the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery. The rebuild was still very much a rebuild. Matvei Michkov had a strong rookie season, Jamie Drysdale found his way, and there were a few other improvements you could point to, but the Flyers were still searching for another X-factor or two to really get them to the next level. Well, it didn’t take too long for Danny Briere to find the nex...
ANALYSIS: How Nets got 10 picks in trades for Bridges, Cam J
In June 2024, the Nets traded Mikal Bridges for five firsts, four unprotected,, a first swap etc. He was supposed to be key piece for the Knicks in a championship run. He scored 0 points in a big post-season loss Thursday night. His team is now down 2-1 in the East. In June 2025, the […]
Seahawks NFL Draft 2026 Reacts results: Fans give Jadarian Price selection a ‘B’ grade
Seattle Seahawks fans had a longer night to wait as Seattle did not pick until 32, the last of Round 1 in the 2026 NFL Draft. Surely fans will take this long a wait since it was the result of the Seahawks winning Super Bowl 60. With the final pick in the first round, the […]

What Needs Should the Vikings Address on Day 2?
In Thursday night’s first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings addressed one of their biggest needs with one of the Draft’s biggest players, selecting Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks with the 18th overall pick. Now, as we move into Day 2 of this year’s selection meeting, it’s time to focus on which […]
Could the Seattle Seahawks trade for Kayvon Thibodeaux?
Day one of the NFL Draft has come and gone. In a night filled with trades, surprising picks, and the Seahawks drafting another running back in the first round, one non-Seattle pick stood out as well. And no, I am not talking about the Los Angeles Rams selecting quarterback, Ty Simpson. Rather, it is the […]
Arizona forward Koa Peat declares for 2026 NBA Draft
It only took one game to see that Koa Peat was not going to be play at the college level for long. And despite some ups and downs after that, the Arizona freshman is ready to begin his pro career. Peat officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft on Friday, the final day for players […]
Nats Head To The Southside For Three Game Set With Scrappy White Sox
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
