New bombshells have entered the villa
Happy NBA Draft!
Cooper Flagg went number one to Dallas (duh) despite his twin brother, Ace Flagg, setting up a series of Home Alone-like traps over the course of his life to keep him at home where they could continue playing, idk, Fortnite together. Not really but, imagine being the twin brother to the number one draft pick…I shudder to think. For more information on the brothers Flagg, check out the newest episode of Pickup.
Here’s the top 10 picks from round one:
1. Dallas Mavericks - Cooper Flagg, F - Duke
2. San Antonio Spurs - Dylan Harper, G - Rutgers
3. Philadelphia 76ers - VJ Edgecombe, G - Baylor
4. Charlotte Hornets - Kon Knueppel, G/F - Duke
5. Utah Jazz - Ace Bailey, G/F - Rutgers
6. Washington Wizards - Tre Johnson, G - Texas
7. New Orleans Pelicans - Jeremiah Fears, G - Oklahoma
8. Brooklyn Nets - Egor Demin, G - BYU
9. Toronto Raptors - Collin Murray-Boyles, F - South Carolina
10. Phoenix Suns (from HOU) - Khaman Maluach, C - Duke
Round 2 airs tonight at 8pm ET. (@ Portland Trail Blazers, that was a threat.)
DeWanna Try, DeWanna Try, DeWanna Try No More…
DeWanna Bonner has been waived by the Indiana Fever after she reportedly requested a trade, after not having played a game since June 10th for “personal reasons”.
(via Hawkeyes Wire) “I want to sincerely thank the Indiana Fever for the opportunity to be part of the Fever franchise. Despite our shared goals and excitement heading into the season, I felt the fit did not work out and I appreciate the organization’s willingness to grant my request to move on, particularly at this point in my career. I wish the Fever great success as they continue to build around this dynamic group of young players.”
We aren’t getting locker room poison vibes from Bonner, so we have to assume that something weird is going on with the Fever…
