At the 2nd annual ‘Camp DJ’ ran by Louisville alumni and former NBA draft pick David Johnson. Excellent event for kids in the city of Louisville. Johnson will play in the NBL this upcoming season.
Tyler Kolek putting on a show here at Cox Pavilion. 23 points in the first half on 6-9 shooting including five three pointers. Looks motivated after a tough performance last time out.
This Pistons summer league squad has looked dialed in and connected since arriving here in Vegas. Also seems like every time Chaz Lanier gets a three up with space - - he knocks it down.
I’ve said for about 2+ years that Deron Rippey Jr. was a Top-5 player in America. He’s been that. Glad the country has been put on notice this year. Scary part is, he is only getting better.
The Memphis Grizzlies have selected Tennessee's Jahmai Mashack with the No. 59 pick. Perhaps the best perimeter defender in college basketball.
heard that! the dream realized for VFL Jahmai Mashack
Two years and one day ago, I got the chance to watch Will Riley put on an absolute clinic. He continued to blossom, was an amazing kid to interview and cover. Now, he’s about to be selected at No. 21 to the Washington Wizards.
First bucket of the day for Top-30 2025 prospect Will Riley. Penn State, St. John’s, Seton Hall (x2), among those who already had established interest (or offered) in Riley, that are currently on-hand.
Shocked that I still see Asa Newell in the green room. Will be a guy with a chip on his shoulder, one team is going to get very lucky landing him in the 20’s.
Utah gets Ace Bailey at No. 5 and now Walter Clayton Jr. at 18. Some teams leaving this draft with two elite level prospects. This is a great land for the Jazz, who are stocked with young talent.
Yang, the 16th selection. Attended the draft this evening and sat in the crowd, not the green room. Stunner in the first round.
Wow. This draft was made for suspense. Hansen Yang is headed to Portland with the 16th overall selection. Skilled big man jumps into the first-round.
Spurs continue to kill it in the draft. Carter Bryant is a heck of a land at 14. Could’ve gone higher IMO, but the Spurs land a dynamic duo of Bryant and Dylan Harper in the first round.
Pelicans with a heck of a lottery haul. Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen. Excellent picks for New Orleans in the first round of the 2025 draft. Two elite level prospects.
Hats off to Jon Scheyer and Duke. Three Top-10 selections. This is a trend that will likely continue for years to come. Very talented core of Blue Devils off the board in the lottery.
Collin Murray-Boyles finds himself in the Top-10. Raptors with the selection. Was viewed as a potential riser throughout the process and here he is, a Top-10 draft pick at No. 9. South Carolina star headed to Toronto.
Net fans boo’ing Egor Demin, who was just selected by Brooklyn, clearly haven’t watched him play. What a great pick by the Nets. Super skilled player.
Here’s how the draft board looks seven selections in. 7 (!!!) one-and-done prospects picked to begin the draft. Talented board with plenty of more talent available.
Team Herro’s 2027 prospect Donovan Davis has heard from Kentucky, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Iowa State, BYU, Syracuse, Iowa, Wisconsin, Marquette, and a slew of others, he told @Stockrisers. Will visit Iowa State at the end of the month [June 25th].
