Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey and VJ Edgecombe have been the most popular names projected in the tier behind Cooper Flagg all year. It’s sounding like Flagg’s Duke teammate, 7-foot-1 freshman center Khaman Maluach, may be entering that tier. Some think he’s going to be the surprise name to leapfrog Edgecombe or wind up going ahead of Tre Johnson, Kon Knueppel and Jeremiah Fears.

The lead guard has glaring similarities to Cade Cunningham and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and even though it’s a bit of a crowded roster, the Spurs could find a way to make it work. However, they also have the No. 14 pick in the draft and are most likely talking to teams about possibly packaging both picks and a player or two for a franchise player (ahem, Giannis Antetokounmpo).

One of the biggest things I learned — or re-learned — over the past 12 months is that any job is about who you work for, not what you’re doing or how much money you’re making.
