Post Lottery 2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0

  Atlanta Hawks: Alex Sarr, 7'1", F/C, Perth In a draft where there's not a 100% consensus #1 pick, Sarr is the closest thing to it. Sarr seems like a good fit to pair with Trae Young and can form a good young front court duo with Okungwu. Sarr shows good upside as a versatile defender and has some shooting upside Washington Wizards: Ron Holland, 6'6", W/F, Ignite My personal #1 prospect in this draft class, Holland offers a higher upside than any other prospect for the Wizards in this spot. A good slasher and transition player, Holland shows All-Defensive potential. His shot leaves a lot to be desired right now, but I think he can grow into a capable shooter. For an organization with perhaps zero building blocks (Coulibaly?), Holland gives Washington fans a prospect to get excited about. Houston Rockets: Donovan Clingan, 7'2", C, UConn Rockets are in a weird spot here where they do not have any glaring needs. A lot of this depends on what they envision h

2024-25 NFL Hot Takes

A week from today we will get to watch NFL football! With that fact I feel like it is a great time to share some of my " hot takes " for the upcoming NFL season. Let me know your thoughts and any hot takes that you may have! 1. The Seattle Seahawks are the #1 seed in the NFC I am very high on the Seahawks and think they can be a legit contender if everything clicks. I am a believer in the offense as I think Geno Smith is a very underrated QB, their WR trio is top 5 in the league, Kenneth Walker III will have a breakout year, and I think they have talented pieces on the defensive side. They compete in maybe the best division in the NFL but I would not be surprised to see Seattle come out on top. 2. Kyler Murray is the NFL MVP Kyler is finally healthy. With the arrival of MHJ he has a true #1 WR for the first time since DeAndre Hopkins. Couple this with the fact that the Cardinals defense is projected to be abysmal, expect the Cardinals to rely on Kyler to put up gaudy numbers

Grading Every NBA Team's 2023-24 Season!

With the NBA season finally over, we reflect back on how each team performed this season. We look forward to what promises to be a busy and exciting offseason in the NBA! Comment below your thoughts, your favorite moments of the 2023-24 season, and what you look forward to this offseason! Eastern Conference Atlanta Hawks: C- The Atlanta Hawks once again fell into mediocrity for the 2023-24 season. They had the 5th highest PPG total in the NBA but gave up almost 121 points a game, which was third worst in the league. They did deal with injuries as Trae Young, DeAndre Hunter, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okungwu combined for 106 total missed games. With the decline of Clint Capela and the total disappearance of sophomore AJ Griffin, the Hawks simply did not have enough to compete even in a weaker East.  Bright Spot: The emergence of Jalen Johnson is very exciting for the future of Atlanta. Johnson was easily on pace to win the MIP before having his season end with injury. Offseason Question
