Share 3. Walker Kessler, Utah Jazz If the Bulls are finally ready to consider life after Nikola Vučević, then they'll need a new anchor on the interior. In a perfect world, that player would provide a lot more resistance at the rim than Vučević ever has. How about Walker Kessler? The 7-footer is a block or a board waiting to happen. He finally became a full-time starter this season and promptly averaged 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks.

If the Bulls plan to move forward with Josh Giddey (an unrestricted free agent), then they need to maximize the spacing around their 22-year-old floor general. Isaiah Joe ranks favorably among the best spacers in basketball. Since becoming a rotation regular in 2022-23, he has averaged 2.2 triples with a 41.2 percent splash rate. And he provides all that net-shredding while also being a competent and pesky player at the defensive end.

Tuesday's Play-in Predictions3 of 3 Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic These Southeast Division rivals are very familiar with one another. This matchup will be their fifth of the season and the ultimate tiebreaker of sorts, since the squads split their four regular-season meetings 2-2. That record is a touch misleading, though, since their last matchup came in a meaningless season finale on Sunday and saw most of the rotation regulars sit out.

Postseason Predictions3 of 3 Eakin Howard/Getty Images The Warriors win the play-in, then knock out the Rockets. Is it ideal for this aging, fatigued Golden State squad to begin its postseason journey in the play-in tournament? Not at all. There is, however, one potential silver lining, and that's if the Warriors handle the Grizzlies in the 7-8 game, then they'll wind up drawing the second-seeded (but potentially vulnerable) Houston in the first round.

An Early Draft Night for Cam Ward? 1 of 3 Stacy Revere/Getty Images Miami quarterback Cam Ward wasn't the Heisman Trophy winner. He's not the highest-ranked prospect on the B/R NFL Scouting Department's big board, either. (Both of those honors belong to Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter.)Ward finds himself standing alone at the top of this draft now, though. All three mocks had the Tennessee Titans taking him with the first overall pick.

Another dope drop from Panini, this time celebrating 3x dunk contest champ Mac McClung. These look awesome! https://t.co/PSGTF5bmjG
Stephon Castle showed out. Just ran into a Mac truck.
Before complaining about the competition, who's actually challenging McClung in this? A 29-year-old LaVine? The stars who aren't coming (Ja/Ant/Zion)? This is ridiculous work.
