#Packers would love to find a true WR1 with one of their two 1st-rd picks (22 and 28) — and finally draft a WR in the 1st-rd during the Aaron Rodgers era.
Keep an eye on Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks and Jahan Dotson — all terrific players with immense skill sets. – 3:45 PM

I had too many Knicks thoughts left over from the season, so I wrote them all down before it ended.
Story on…
• Toppin’s passing
• A 10-day-old pass
• Quickley’s point guardiness
• RJ vs. switches
And more…

I’ll say it again b/c it’s still true:
There is a absolutely, positively no reason for Alec Burks to start at PG for the Knicks tonight.
In fact, rest Burks in the final two games (he’s already set a career-high in minutes played this season.)

The Wizards are resting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kristaps Porzingis tonight vs. the Knicks. Kyle Kuzma also remains out with tendinitis, so expect it to be the young guys’ show for the last two games of the season most likely. – 11:53 AM

Per source close to team, Dolphins today are working out former Alabama All American LB Reuben Foster, the 31st overall pick in 2017 (Washington) who missed 2019 and 2020 with major knee injury. Health fine now and he’s looking for comeback. Overlapped with McDaniel in SF in 2018 – 9:14 AM

“I’m a stubborn kid,” RJ Barrett said. “I’m going to the rim. Even if a 7-footer is down there, I can score over him.”
But what about when scoring isn’t an option?
