Last sentence of the SI evaluation of the Cason Wallace selection is interesting...

The Thunder move up to land arguably the best non-Wembanyama defensive prospect in the draft. Wallace’s offensive game was somewhat inconsistent at Kentucky, but he was forced into difficult situations on a team with limited floor spacing. He’s outstanding at the point of attack on the defensive end though, projecting as a guy who can pick up top point and shooting guards throughout the league. Plus, Kentucky guards have often overperformed their draft position in the NBA under John Calipari.

The second round isn't over yet. There's still hope for Uros!

Welp, Julian Phillips goes #35 to the Celtics, as several outlets had projected, best of luck to JP!

looks like he’s going to be playing in Chicago instead

Congrats to Julian! 35th was about where I thought he'd land when the season production ended up being what it was. His physical size/talent was going to get him drafted regardless of what he did on the court, but had he had a season like Miller had he could have pushed himself into a lottery pick.

Reports that Grant Williams may be moving on from Celtics. Mavs and Pacers are possible destinations

Considering how much their fanbase rags on him all the time, might not be the worst thing for him to have a change of scenery.

Huh? That's not what I hear from Celtic fans that I know.

Tbf I’m assuming you may know a lot of Vol-Celtics fans. A lot of Celtics fans really have bagged on Grant this season

Boston fans kinda bag on all their players. Seems like a miserable place to play. I’ll be kinda happy if he moves on and I don’t have any reason to root for them anymore.

Sometime a fresh start helps seemed like the Miami series he was the scapegoat over the Jimmy Butler thing.Dallas with Luka And Kyrie good spot they need spotup three point shooter and Lord knows he would help their defense.

Nope. I am the only Vols-Celts fan I know. Lived in Mass most of my life before escaping to Tenn. Friends and family from Mass generally like Grant. They appreciate a guy who hustles and plays defense. Now the sports writers - they are a different story. They can be brutal.

Fair enough. A lot of fans I see online are brutal, but maybe that’s not representative

Wow - I thought he was almost impossible to stay in front of as he seemed to drive the lane at will. That’s got to hurt

I hear Bama has a spot. Only way it’s possible to dislike a guy even more is if he suits up for Bama.

Κevin Punter stays with Partizan, Barcelona's deal with him broke down - Eurohoops

 

[johnfnkelly]

Has Punter quietly had the most euro success of any UT player? He's been a killer for Partizan.

I don't know who has had the most success overseas, but I can tell you John Fields is has not stopped playing since he was here. He's primarily been in Asia, currently in Taiwan.
