It’s always a bit tricky, figuring out when to draft a punter or kicker. Those positions are obviously valuable. Ask a team that has a shaky kicker or a subpar punter how much angst that causes. The Cleveland Browns were the first team to jump into the kicker/punter pool. And it wasn’t the much-hyped San Diego State punter Matt Araiza. The Browns took LSU kicker Cade York in the fourth round, with the 124th overall pick. ESPN said that’s the highest a kicker has gone in the draft since …… Source link

It’s a three-man race for the top rookie honor. Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes are all deserving of Rookie of the Year for different reasons and it will be interesting to see which ways voters lean. Mobley was forced to sit out several games with an ankle injury to close out the season, but was incredible all season long. Cunningham started the season slow, coming off an injury of his own. Barnes averages the most minutes out of any rookie in the class (35.5), but has… Source link

In the beginning of the NBA season, it appeared to be a two-man race between Evan Mobley and Scottie Barnes for the rookie top honor, but now a few other players have entered the conversation. Cade Cunningham, Franz Wagner and Josh Giddey all had strong starts to the second half of the season, and the gap between the top five rookies is smaller than ever. Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs returned to the court Jan. 14 after being sidelined for five weeks with a thumb injury. Two second-round… Source link

It was a banner spell for NBA referees over the past week, who decided to dish out their version of law and order. First, it was No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham getting tossed after a highlight dunk and a point to his team’s bench as if to say, “Told y’all so.” Then a few days later, Jimmy Butler got rang up twice after unleashing on one official following an and-one, likely after a missed call on the previous end. Butler earned one technical for sure, but the second was called by a trail… Source link

The top five looks to be falling into place with Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham the consensus favorite for the No. 1 overall pick (-5000 at BetMGM), although the Pistons reportedly are not locked in on a pick yet and are still looking at Jalen Green and Evan Mobley. This is the deepest and most talented draft class in recent memory and a few players like James Bouknight, Ziaire Williams and Joshua Primo are climbing up draft boards late.  Here’s a look at Yahoo Sports’ projected first… Source link

Tuesday was Cade Cunningham’s night as the Detroit Pistons received the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA draft. Cunningham has been the favored top pick since the midway through the college season and all signs point to Pistons picking Cunningham on July 29. They had early success drafting Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart last year, and Cunningham will be an instant impact guy alongside Killian Hayes next season.  There’s a drop-off after Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs, Evan Mobley and Jonathan Kuminga… Source link

For some lucky fanbases, it’s the NBA Playoffs. For Detroit Pistons faithful, it’s mock draft szn. Until the NBA Draft Lottery on June 22, the Pistons will be picking second in these mock drafts. That means a lot of Jalen Green, Evan Mobley and Jalen Suggs. What it also means is not a lot of Cade Cunningham, the golden goose of the draft. Except, maybe it doesn’t. Krysten Peek of Yahoo! Sports released a mock draft today that actually had the Pistons landing Cunningham with the… Source link

Thanks to a huge performance from star freshman Cade Cunningham, Oklahoma State has reached the Big 12 championship game. The Cowboys, behind a 25-point night from Cunningham, knocked off top-seeded Baylor 83-74 on Friday night at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Baylor held a five-point lead with just less than six minutes to go. With just more than two minutes to go, Oklahoma State took control. The Cowboys ended the night on a 10-2 run over the last 2:33 of the game, and held Baylor… Source link

The 2021 NBA draft class is one of the most talented and deepest in recent memory. There is a lot of potential star power at the top of the draft and plenty of long, playmaking guards projected to go in the first round. The McDonald’s All American game and Nike’s Hoop Summit were both canceled in 2020 so NBA scouts haven’t seen the top freshmen prospects in person yet. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, NBA teams also can’t attend college practices this year giving a slight… Source link
