Victor Wembanyama is going to be the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. It’s a matter of which team will draw the first overall position, not a matter of who that team is going to draft.

Wembanyama is a unicorn. Basketball has largely evolved into a positionless game, and the 19-year-old French superstar is the perfect fit for any system in the league.
At 7-foot-4, calling him a “big” would be an insult to his raw athleticism.

NBA Draft prospect Victor Wembanyama is widely considered to be the best prospect in the draft this year, as the 7’2” forward has dominated the LNB Pro A in France. Despite his size, Wembanyama has consistently showed his high-level outside shooting and dribbling skill. 
His entire skill set was on display on Sunday, as the 19-year-old produced a viral highlight in a game. While isolated on a defender, Wembanyama gained separation through a series of dribbles and shot a step back three-pointer. Although he missed, Wembanyama followed his own shot for an incredible putback dunk.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey’s wardrobe choices have been among March Madness’ biggest storylines. With the Tigers in the women’s national title game on Sunday, the expectations were high for Mulkey to raise the stake. Unsurprisingly, she did not disappoint.
Mulkey bypassed a pink-themed outfit she’s used in the previous two rounds of the tournament for a mascot-inspired look, donning sequined tiger stripes shimmering in black and gold from head to toe. To put it mildly, it was a show-stopper.

Giancarlo Stanton hit a ball 485 feet on Sunday afternoon against the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium.

Purdue’s Zach Edey is the official recipient of the.2023 men’s Naismith Player of the Year award, it was announced on Sunday.
The 7’4” star helped lead the Boilermakers to the Big Ten conference title. However, Edey’s chances at a national title were cut short after the team lost in the first round of the 2023 NCAA men’s tournament as a No. 1 seed to No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson.
As a Canadian, Edey is the first college player from the country to win the award. On top of that, he made history by becoming the first player of Chinese heritage to earn the award.

Just one week before Opening Day, the Mississippi Braves grounds crew is scrambling to redo the team’s entire infield. The clock is ticking to get it right!
The Braves, based out of Pearl, Mississippi, are the Double-A Minor League Baseball affiliate for Atlanta. Hence the name.
They will begin their season at home on Friday against the Biloxi Shuckers— but only if everything goes according to plan. The field at Trustmark Park has to be up to standard, which it wasn’t as recently as last week.
Ole Miss and Southern Miss played a neutral site game in Pearl last Tuesday.

For many New York Rangers fans, Alexis Lafrenière has not lived up to expectations. As the #1 pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, many expected him to immediately be a force in the league.
But not all #1 picks are created equally. For example, Connor McDavid is barely human. He’s basically a hockey-playing machine. Expecting Lafrenière to be McDavid is unfair.
Plus, McDavid is top-line player. For his entire Rangers career, Lafrenière has generally been relegated to third or fourth line duties. That’s a good problem for the team, which has veterans capable of filling those top-line roles.

Stoners of the NBA rejoice!
Under a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the NBA will no longer test for marijuana, The Athletic reported.
The league and the National Basketball Players Association announced the new CBA on Saturday, but it still needs to be ratified before it becomes official.
If ratified, the seven-year deal would include a stipulation that marijuana will be removed from the drug testing program and NBA players will no longer be penalized for its use.

HOUSTON – By the numbers, midnight in the garden of good and bad seeds nears for Cinderella San Diego State.
Christmas with Connecticut may not be coming Monday night for the No. 5 seed Aztecs (32-6), who never ventured past the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament before this March.

The UConn Huskies (30-8) are waiting as 7-to-8 point favorites in the NCAA college basketball national championship game Monday (9:20 p.m., CBS). UConn came to this generic Final Four as the best seed at No.

While assisting his team in the blowout, Thompson maintained an unbelievable consistency: all three of his home runs had an exit velocity of 107.5 mph.
