When it comes to presumptive first-overall pick Cooper Flagg, there have been no shortage of comparisons to other NBA stars, past and present. The Duke star has similarities to many elite defensive-minded players of the past. Scouts have mentioned that Flagg has elements of Scottie Pippen, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Garnett, Jayson Tatum, and a host of other two-way stars. All of these are obviously high compliments, but what about some more off-the-wall comps?Recently, former NBA All-Star Baron Davis, who played in the league for 13 seasons for the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, and New York Knicks,…

Compared to recent years, Arsenal’s summer looks relatively quiet. So far they only have three games lined up across the next two months before the Premier League gets under way again. They are yet to confirm whether the Emirates Cup will return as a final curtain raiser in north London, whilst there is no planned trip to Nurnberg ahead of a pre-season tour either.Last year, when there was a major tournament to factor in, Arsenal played five matches between July 25 and August 11. They were split between America and then N5 with players joining up irregularly due to involvement…

The Los Angeles Lakers got a taste of what their team can look like with Luka Doncic leading the way, and now they go into the offseason looking to build a roster better suited to make use of his talents. Doncic fundamentally changed the identity of the Lakers and head coach JJ Redick was forced to pivot and reconfigure his lineups to accommodate his star. By trading away Anthony Davis, Los Angeles almost had no choice but to roll out smaller lineups and while they worked in the regular season the Minnesota Timberwolves exposed them in the postseason. President of…

The Los Angeles Lakers may have just received a significant offseason boost in their quest to retool the roster around Luka Doncic. According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, veteran big man Clint Capela will not be returning to the Atlanta Hawks and is expected to hit free agency this summer. “Clint Capela will be moving on from the Hawks in free agency.” “Unlikely to be a starter at this point in his career, Capela is set to receive interest from contenders in need of priority backup bigs.” While Capela may no longer be seen as a starting-caliber center in today’s…
