They kept their picks after all. Which means a subsequent deal could be imminent. The Nets held consecutive late first-round picks in Thursday’s NBA Draft and were expected to package picks Nos. 21 and 22 in an attempt to either move up in the draft or put together a trade package for an impact player or another star. They did neither. Instead, the Nets selected Alabama’s freshman stretch four Noah Clowney 21st overall, then took Duke’s 3-and-D forward Dariq Whitehead with the ensuing pick. Brooklyn’s front office clearly put an emphasis on floor spacing.

  • As Broncos sort through RB options, rookie Audric Estime aims to make decision easy: “Hopefully I can keep on building trust”
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 12/24/2024 - 06:04 PM

    The Broncos’ running back question might only be adding more potential answers. Denver brought Tyler Badie back to practice on Tuesday, opening his 21-day return-to-play window ahead of Saturday’s game at Cincinnati. Badie had just ascended to the 53-man roster and seemingly into the Broncos’ regular running back rotation when he suffered a scary back injury Week 4 at the New York Jets. “He’s doing well,” head coach Sean Payton said.
