Jan 15, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

With the NFL regular season wrapped up and one game left to go in the college season, it's officially time to take a look at the 2025 NFL Draft. This year's class is full of talent on both sides of the ball that could change the fate of many franchises. The top five picks of any draft are usually the most sought-after players by fans and organizations. Lucky for them, there is no shortage of exciting players who could be picked in this range.
Knicks would be foolish to trade for Jonas Valanciunas

Jan 15, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

One of the most prominent trade rumors surrounding the Knicks in recent weeks has been that of Wizards big man Jonas Valanciunas. On paper, this makes sense. The Knicks' depth has been far from ideal this season, and with Mitchell Robinson not returning until February, they are likely in the market for backup bigs. Even with this in mind, it would be incredibly foolish for them to trade for Valanciunas for several reasons. Most notably, it's his defense.
Three teams that must be buyers at NBA trade deadline

Jan 14, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

The NBA trade deadline is approaching. As we near the season's halfway point, we have a good enough sample size to label each team as a buyer or a seller. When thinking of potential buyers, three teams immediately come to mind. Two have disappointed, and one has been a top team in its conference despite numerous injuries. Regardless, they must be buyers at the deadline to maximize their hopes of a deep playoff run. 1.
How twins Amen, Ausar Thompson defy basketball logic

Jan 14, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

When you think of the typical wing in the modern NBA, you likely think of one who can shoot. In a league so focused on shooting as many threes as possible, slashing forwards are seemingly going extinct. That is, except for the Thompson twins, Amen and Ausar. They have defied basketball logic every step of the way in their NBA journeys and have played pivotal roles for their individual teams in a year when they may both make the playoffs.

Three shooting specialists Knicks can trade for ahead of deadline

Jan 13, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

One of the biggest issues plaguing the New York Knicks this season has been their three-point shooting. While they have been rather efficient from beyond the arc on the season, ranked tied for seventh in three-point percentage with 37.4, they have been in a rut recently that has caused their efficiency to tank. In their last 10 games, the Knicks have been shooting 29.9 percent from three, which ranks dead last in the NBA. Alongside this, they also rank dead last in attempts in this period.
It's time for the Bulls to trade Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic

Jan 13, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

Rumors about the Chicago Bulls finally moving on from Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević have been running rampant for years now. However, in a lost season with no additional help on the roster, Chicago may finally be ready to move on from its star players. At least, it must if it wishes to have any real hopes of future success. This era of Bulls basketball has dragged on for far too long now, and this core should have been broken up a long time ago.

Why Jaguars need to do whatever they can to land Ben Johnson

Jan 12, 2025 | yardbarker.com | Desmond Novack

Since taking over as the Lions OC in 2022, Johnson has been praised as one of the smartest offensive minds in the NFL. The Jaguars, on the other hand, just finished up a season in which they ranked 25th in total yards and 24th in points scored. The Lions' offensive personnel is much better than the Jaguars, of course, but Johnson has put together productive offenses in worse situations.
