Latest buzz from the NBA Draft combine. Debate at No. 1. Cam Carr and Morez Johnson Jr rising and the latest on Malachi Moreno. His decision to not do 5-v-5 feels more like NIL leverage instead of a first-round promise. Full article: hoopshq.com/nba-draft/nba-…

@aightmatt Matt, the agent works for the player. Yes, the conversations were driven by Omar Cooper but Ace going along with refusing workouts was a joint decision. The Jazz electing to still draft Ace without a workout was a risk and it worked out!

It’s unreal that there are real reporters that still don’t know it was Ace Bailey’s agent (who he fired a couple months later) that wanted him to be selected by Washington/Brooklyn/New Orleans. Ace did not have a “preferred destination” it was his corrupt agent.

The Jazz took Ace a year ago after his preferred destination was Washington and he never even came in for a workout. They still drafted him at 5! If you’ve heard Will Hardy talk about Ace, they’re not trading him. This isn’t happening.

Duke commit Cam Williams in Vegas at @impactbball working out with Indiana forward Aiden Sherrell and North Carolina transfer guard Terrence Brown.

Cameron Carr, Morez Johnson Jr. and Mikel Brown Jr. lead draft combine top performers. More from the week in Chicago for NBA.com: nba.com/news/2026-nba-…

What a weekend for Marcus Spears Jr. Game winner yesterday against Indy Heat and 35 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a battle against JL3 (81-71). Spears and Beckham Black were the best players on the court this weekend in front of every HM coach.

JJ Crawford put on an absolute scoring clinic for NWR scoring 30 points (7-8 from 3) and added 4 assists in a 81-61 win over Drive Nation. Jordan Mize had 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Coaches from Duke, Michigan, Baylor and Tennessee were there.

Lewis Ovwo picking up right where he left off after session 1. He just had 8 blocks and 8 points against CP3. Just a menace at the rim. The 6'10" center's recruitment is about to pick up after the live period. He's playing for Nightrydas Elite on the EYBL, Prolific Prep next year

Mikel Brown Jr had a ball in his hands from day 1. His parents had him in college while his dad, Christopher, was still playing basketball. "My dad used to take me to a lot of practices, I used to sleep in the dorms with them, he would take me to class." nba.com/news/hockey-da…

@albertoeghim One of my favorite articles I've ever written! I love this class and all their backstories.
