1 I went back and forth a dozen times on who to go with at No. 1. Big picture, I’m betting on the uncertainty of this year’s draft class leading to an unsuspecting player winding up as the best pick — and for that player to get taken outside of the top five. Knecht is the choice. Knecht is beating …

Jimmy Butler saved the Miami Heat. It’s easy to forget that now. The Heat are a model organization, after all, and their failures are far rarer than their successes. But Miami had won only one playoff series in the five years since LeBron James left. Their balance sheet was bogged down with pricey contracts given to Hassan Whiteside, Kelly Olynyk, …

Zach Edey was the most dominant player in college hoops this past season. He controlled the paint with his 7-foot-4 frame. He averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 32 minutes.
