Former Florida State forward, Scottie Barnes, has flown up draft boards in recent weeks, shattering the narrative that there is a clear top five in the 2021 NBA Draft. Barnes has been moving up due to his length, improved shooting, and high energy.
While the 2021 NFL season is still months away, it is never too early to prepare for the fantasy season. Today, I am going to give three bold fantasy predictions for the New England Patriots in 2021.
In the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox added another highly-rated prospect. With the 40th overall pick, the Red Sox selected Jud Fabian. The Florida native was seen as a top-four pick before the college season began but saw his stock fall.
The Buffalo Bills are making headlines around the NFL as the countdown to Week 1 continues to wind down. Locking down plans for a new stadium, the franchise plans to build a brand new building on top of the current grounds on Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.
Corey Kispert was one of the best players in college basketball during the 2020-2021 season, leading Gonzaga to the National Championship game. Kispert is a knockdown shooter, but critics have concerns about upside due to his age. Let’s take a look at the skillset of the Gonzaga product.
Alperen Sengun is one of the most polarizing prospects in the draft. Many scouts are enamored by his post-scoring ability and offensive upside. Others are worried about his defense and lack of athleticism in the ‘modern NBA’. Let’s take a look at the skillset of the Turkish prospect.
Another week, and another set of college football positional rankings. This week we have a great group of linebackers, including a handful of players who command more recognition on the national level.
The All-Star Game isn’t exactly the halfway point in the season (most teams have played close to 90 games at this point) but it’s a logical stopping point to access which players are dominating. I did this exercise at the quarter-point in the season, it’s interesting to see how things have changed (or not) since then. As the season goes on, we’ll do this again at the three quarters through the year and then at the end of the season. A Rookie of the Year category has been added for this checkpoint and will be included in the two editions later in the season.
The New York Jets almost lost every game and were looking like the top team to draft Trevor Lawrence. However, a year after Joe Douglas’ first full draft, the team played hard and would win two games. While the season wasn’t good, largely due to Adam Gase, the players from the 2020 draft should inspire hope in Jets fans.
The Diamondbacks are nearly three dozen games out of the top spot in the NL East. This would be terrible if the season was over, but it is infinitely times more despicable considering we’re only at the unofficial halfway point. Now, for yet another season, Arizona is a clear seller ahead of the deadline.
Keon Johnson played one year for the University of Tennessee and is now entering the NBA draft at 19 years old. Johnson was a five-star prospect and his upside and athleticism has improved his stock over the past season.
The Babe Ruth comparisons continued as the Angels Shohei Ohtani arrived in Denver for the 2021 All-Star festivities. The two-way sensation is not Ruth. There will never be another Babe Ruth. However, in many ways, he may be something better. He’s ShowTime! Something needed in today’s often cynical sports world. Evident in his epic first-round derby battle with another young face of baseball.
