The Houston Rockets selected guard Reed Sheppard with the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The 20-year-old proved to be quite the sharpshooter in his one season playing collegiately for Kentucky. Houston bet on his overall progress to continue by selecting him with such a high lottery pick.

When a top three overall recruit in the country signs on to play Kentucky basketball, everyone thinks high draft pick. That wasn’t the case for former blue-chip recruit Justin Edwards. Edwards was on the wrong side of history when he became the first top-three recruit to go undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft. This is even more daunting when considering the 2024 NBA draft class was widely regarded as weak. In Edward’s mind though, all this was a mistake. In an interview with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards reportedly stated,

There are nine former MVPs in the league. One is expected to be traded from his current team any day now. Interestingly, another one of them has reportedly expressed an interest in playing with him. The first player is Russell Westbrook, and the second player is Nikola Jokic. The reigning triple-double leader and perhaps the guy with the most realistic shot at overtaking him. It’s tempting to wonder, though, if the Denver Nuggets would have benefited more from adding Westbrook last season instead.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will almost certainly face some type of suspension following his eventful offseason. Back in April, the wide receiver was responsible for a six-car crash after driving 119 miles per hour in a Lamborghini. The former second-round pick left the scene of the crime without checking in on the potentially injured civilians before eventually surrendering himself to the police. Shortly after this event, police investigated Rice for allegedly assaulting a photographer in a nightclub.

Coming into the draft there was a lot of reports about Bronny James. Some of them were his agent Rich Paul saying he wouldn’t sign a two-way contract, and limiting his draft workouts. Even on draft night, it came out that Rich Paul was telling teams not to draft Bronny or he is playing overseas. That way they could get Bronny to the team they wanted him to go to. Ultimately he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers at pick 55. Because of how everything went down, people were saying that he is only in the NBA because of LeBron James. He should have stayed in college one more year, he isn’t good enough to be in the NBA.
