MLB Draft Grades: First round results and analysis

The 2024 NBA Draft class was considered weak at the top after some of the most highly touted prospects coming into the cycle struggled more than expected in their pre-draft season. Matas Buzelis fits that description. The 6’10 forward was the No. 1 player on our initial board published the day after the 2023 draft, but a rough season in the G League where he shot the ball poorly and lost constantly pushed him down to the No. 11 pick, where the Chicago Bulls happily scooped him up.

Lauri Markkanen is the biggest name left on the NBA trade market. The 27-year-old forward is being shopped by the Utah Jazz as he becomes eligible for a contract extension next month.

Alex Sarr was just scratching the surface of his long-term potential when he entered the 2024 NBA Draft. The 7’1 French big man wasn’t emphatically productive in a smaller role playing in Australia’s NBL league, but his overwhelming combination of length and athleticism made him one of the draft’s best long-term bets. A lot of people viewed Sarr as the front-runner to go No. 1 overall before the Atlanta Hawks zeroed in on Zaccharie Risacher, and the Washington Wizards were thrilled to scoop him up with the No. 2 pick.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said.
