This year's NBA Draft was historic for the Duke Blue Devils as they produced three top-10 picks: Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach. Flagg went first overall to the Dallas Mavericks, Knueppel was picked fourth by the Charlotte Hornets, and Maluach rounded out the top ten heading to the Phoenix Suns, despite officially wearing a Houston Rockets hat due to an impending trade. This marks only the third time in the modern draft era that a single college program has had three players selected in the top 10.

Cooper Flagg, who reclassified to join the 2024 class early, showcased his elite skills at Duke, winning multiple player of the year honors and becoming the second-youngest No. 1 overall pick in history. Kon Knueppel, an exceptional shooter, averaged 14.4 points and earned ACC Tournament MVP honors. Khaman Maluach is expected to develop into a formidable rim protector and lob threat, capitalizing on his athleticism.

The New York Knicks are now the only team with a vacant head coach position following the Phoenix Suns' announcement of Jordan Ott as their new head coach. With a roster that just reached the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks' choice of coach is critical for their championship aspirations.

Among potential candidates, Cavaliers assistant Johnnie Bryant has emerged as a leading option since he was passed over for the Suns job. Former Villanova coach Jay Wright, although a popular name, is reportedly not interested in the NBA. Current NBA coaches Ime Udoka and Jason Kidd have also been discussed, but Udoka's interview with the Knicks is hindered by Houston's disinterest in allowing it. Kidd, meanwhile, might find it possible to interview if Dallas permits it.

Other names in the mix include former coaches Michael Malone, Mike Budenholzer, and Jeff Van Gundy. The Knicks are reportedly interested in selecting someone with considerable experience, signaling their aim for a coach who can lead them beyond mere playoff contention. The Knicks are not in a rush, as they are comfortable waiting until July 10, the date of the Las Vegas Summer League, to finalize their decision.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have recently made significant roster adjustments, emphasizing their strategy to enhance team depth. Notably, they signed Nae'Qwan Tomlin to a two-year, two-way contract after an impressive stint in the G League, where he averaged 19.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. His performance in the NBA so far, while limited, shows potential, as he scored 3.3 points with a 50% shooting rate in just 4.7 minutes per game. This move indicates the Cavaliers' commitment to developing talent within their ranks.

In contrast, JT Thor, who had been on a two-way contract, was waived to make room for Tomlin. Thor's departure reflects the Cavaliers' decision to prioritize players like Emoni Bates and Luke Travers, who have higher ceilings. As the Cavaliers aim to refine their roster for a playoff push, Tomlin's growth in the NBA will be closely monitored, making him an intriguing player for fantasy enthusiasts.
