Ziemer was the 71st overall pick by the Sabres in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday. A native of Minnesota and product of the famed Shattuck St. Mary's program, Ziemer saw his draft stock rise throughout the season. He played a key role (26 goals, 65 points in 59 games) for the US NTDP and served as Team USA's captain at the World U18's, a tournament in which he was brilliant (12 points in seven games). Ziemer has an excellent shot and seemingly always finds himself in the middle of the action. The main drawback on Ziemer is that there isn't a ton of creativity to his game. He's an ideal multi-year college draft-and-stash prospect. Ziemer will stay home and join the Minnesota Golden Gophers this coming fall.

New Orleans, LA

The Pelicans exercised Alvarado's $1.99 million team option for 2024-25 on Friday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. An undrafted point guard out of Georgia Tech in 2021, Alvarado has solidified himself as the Pelicans' top backup point guard over the last three seasons and will likely maintain that role heading into 2024-25. During this past season, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 18.4 minutes per game across 56 appearances.

Bronny James has reportedly been a target of the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round throughout the NBA Draft process, and on Thursday, ESPN's Bob Myers offered a revealing report that might just help him get there. According to Myers, James' agent, Rich Paul, is telling teams not to draft James, and that if they do pick him, he will go to Australia rather than signing.

The Hornets are declining Thor's fourth-year player option on Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Thor spent the last three seasons in Charlotte. He averaged 3.2 points and rebounds in 12.4 minutes across 63 appearances (three starts) in 2023-24. The 21-year-old forward will test the open market in free agency, but it's unclear what type of attention he'll draw.

Reeves was drafted by the Pelicans with the No. 47 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

In 2023-24, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 33 games. Reeves's greatest strength is his outside shot, which he displayed by converting 44.7 percent of his 5.7 three-point attempts per contest last year.

Durisic was selected by the Hawks with the No. 43 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. An intriguing wing prospect with good size, Durisic is firmly a developmental project for the Hawks. The 20-year-old Serbian will likely spend at least one more season overseas before potentially coming over to the NBA.

Stott is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Marlins. He was out of the lineup Tuesday against a lefty and will also begin this one on the bench as the Marlins send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Stott did pinch hit in Tuesday's contest, so perhaps another mid-game appearance is possible. Whit Merrifield is handling second base for the Phillies on Thursday.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
