LaVar Ball’s will be done? LiAngelo Ball, the brother of Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, has declared himself eligible for the 2018 NBA draft. Though many haven’t expected him to even be selected, that has yet to stop him from making a round of interviews. Next up, though? Private workouts with the Lakers, [...]

If NBA teams are hoping to get a last look at Luka Doncic before this June’s draft, they’ll need to pore over a bunch of film. Because he’s not holding an official audition for them. From Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: That’s an issue for any team hoping to draft Doncic, though. His commitment to Real Madrid [...]

Utah Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey badly wanted to make sure Donovan Mitchell would still be on the board when his team was on the clock, at No. 13, during last year’s draft. How badly? So badly, he apparently threatened to fire anyone who leaked any details of Mitchell’s pre-draft workout, and how well it [...]

The Markelle Fultz situation in Philadelphia is one of the most bizarre things I have seen in the NBA. The No. 1 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, who was known for his sweet shooting stroke in college and his ability to score from anywhere on the court, apparently decided to completely change his jump [...]

LeBron James has invited Derrick Rose to work out with him in Las Vegas. Whatever. The two are teammates now. James probably wants to make sure both of Rose’s knees are attached. This happens. But Eric Bledsoe is already in Vegas working out beside James, which is something I’m sure no one will read into, [...]

The Boston Celtics got a workout with Markelle Fultz, the NBA’s consensus No. 1 overall pick. They won’t be getting one with Josh Jackson. Sources told ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman and Marc J. Spears that Kansas’ wing, who is projected to go in the top five of this year’s prospect pageant, bailed on his scheduled meeting [...]

Because of his loud mouth, gregarious, offensive and in your face father, Lavar, Lonzo Ball is probably the most recognized name in the 2017 NBA Draft. As a 6’6″ point guard and a local Los Angeles kid who played for his hometown school in college, the UCLA Bruins, and a player with potentially special play [...]

Contrary to all recent reports on the matter, projected No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz has agreed to a workout with the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. [tweet https://twitter.com/NESN/status/873155734439170048] This could just be a courtesy for Fultz for whatever reason, or maybe he lost a bet with Vlade Divac who knows, but it is hard not to [...]

How sure is Markelle Fultz that he’ll be drafted with the first overall pick? Really sure. Like, really, really sure. Really, really, ridiculously sure. So sure, he will only be working out with the Boston Celtics, owners of that No. 1 pick, according to Philly.com’s Keith Pompey: [tweet https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/871732492990124032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.masslive.com%2Fceltics%2Findex.ssf%2F2017%2F06%2Fmarkelle_fultz_nba_draft_rumor.html] This isn’t exactly ground-breaking stuff. A [...]

LaVar Ball totally called it. He said the Los Angeles Lakers would keep their top-three pick, which they did. And then he said they’d use it to draft his son, Lonzo Ball, which they might. Armed with the second-overall selection in this year’s draft, the Lakers are in prime Lonzo territory. Markelle Fultz is expected [...]
