NBA Trade Rumors: Ty Lawson An Outcast In Denver?

Ty Lawson’s stint with the Denver Nuggets seems to be hanging on a string as the team got hold of two potential franchise point guards this summer.

Will he be

Could Zhou Qi be China’s "Next Big Thing" in the NBA?

Chinese basketball has been popping in online wires the past few weeks, particularly about 2015 NBA Draft prospect Emmanuel Mudiay. The 6'5" combo-guard, who decided to forgo playing in the NCAA and instead immerse himself in international play with the Guangdong Southern Tigers in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), is a projected top-5 pick. However, Chinese fans and NBA scouts, have been raving about another player as of late. Someone with a 7'2" frame.

The Best Guards in the Draft

The Case for D’Angelo Russell or Emmanuel Mudiay being the No. 1 Draft Pick

First, another bit of NBA history. The last time I've heard of a Draft that had its first two teams pickup centers was in 1984. The Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers, both drafting on need, picked up who they thought were the best pivot men prospects at the time. The Rockets drafted Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon first overall. The Blazers, snatched up "the best available big," and drafted Sam Bowie at number two. The Chicago Bulls, took a guard with its third pick. Someone named Michael Jordan. Well, we all know how that turned out.
