As great as Jayson Tatum is, he hasn't been dominant in these playoffs and isn't considered as a top-three NBA player like the stars on most recent ...

- The Netsannouncedthis week that they’ve hired Sam Zussman to be the CEO of BSE Global, the team’s parent company. - Fred Katz and Andrew Schlecht of The Athleticspoke to a high-ranking scout and an Eastern Conference assistant general manager to get their thoughts on 11 players the Knicks may be considering with the No. 11 pick, including Ochai Agbaji(“I don’t think it’s a guarantee that he’s an elite shooter,” the assistant GM said), Dyson Daniels(“He’s probably not the full-time offensive engine”), and Tari Eason(“His game is as an energy big with a little bit of shooting”). - Holding only the No. 33 pick in this year’s draft, the Raptors are preparing for a wide number of scenarios on draft night, team executive Dan Tolzman told reporters on Wednesday. “We’re working really hard trying to narrow down the group of guys that we think we’re going to be looking at, and then trying to fine-tune who we like in that group,” Tolzman said, perDoug Smith of The Toronto Star. “But then you also have to kind of prepare for, you know, five to 10 guys that might drop to you just in case, and then how do they compare against the guys that we were preparing for that we expect to be there?” Tolzman added that the team expects the player it selects to be on next season’s roster, meaning a draft-and-stash selection is unlikely.
