NBA Draft Report: Zaccharie Risacher Of JL Bourg

by Zachary Cohen

Fluid wings with size that can shoot the basketball like Zaccharie Risacher are as valuable as any archetype in the league, but he lacks the on-ball creation to be the type of franchise altering talent we typically expect at the top of the draft.

by Christopher Reina

The Celtics contain more multitudes than any title contender in recent memory given how long they've been in this position and the quality and diversity of their top-6. And they possess enough dominant ways to play to withstand a vintage Kyrie Irving performance.

I met a guy the other day he told me a story about Sparky. He met him at a golf course and he was eating and Sparky and Tramell and others were just leaving and the guy stopped Sparky to ask him a quick baseball question and Sparky stopped to give him a long good answer. The other guys said we'll meet you in the car and they were clearly in a hurry, but Sparky sat down for like 5-10 minutes cause after he answered the question it triggered another story that really went along with the topic so he sat there to give him this long full complete story and even one of the guys came back in to pull him out cause they were trying to leave and Sparky was like it'll have to wait, we're talking baseball over here.
