[Carson Hilton @CarsonLHilton]

Legendary series. Feels like a real crowning moment for Wembanyama.

[Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA]

Wow, Shai just noped on Wemby with the season on the line instead of trying to draw the and-one. Incrediblle.

The Runnin’ Utes have picked up a commitment from American Fork guard, Bryce Mella. Previously signed with Utah State, Mella opened up his recruitment after the coaching change. He will serve a church mission first and then join the program after his two years of service.

Everyone better get used to seeing the Spurs in the WCF/Finals. That young core getting there every year for at least a decade

@McCadeP8 Ahh the Kearns dungeon

at my highschool we had a LGBTQ+ legend hall in the second floor by the gym. jason collins picture + story was the first thing to greet u before seeing the basketball nets. huge impact on me and other athletic students struggling w identity. very sad day in the league today :(

@TuskedUp Darren’s defense upside is really what really excites me honestly, especially with his size and length. I get AJ is awesome and there’s some concerns with DP, but I’m kinda surprised at how a lot of people think AJ is the consensus number 1

[Carson Hilton @CarsonLHilton]

I don’t understand why people assume the Jazz will trade up for AJ. Frankly moving up makes no sense for Utah

Makes more sense for Memphis or Chicago. And this only happens if Cam or Caleb is the guy for Washington, which would shock me

Washington is staying. Don’t be fooled

[Carson Hilton @CarsonLHilton]

Getting Ace Bailey and (probably) Darryn Peterson is why you tank. Jazz did exactly what they needed to.

[Carson Hilton @CarsonLHilton]

HUUGE for the Jazz man. After all these years Utah finally gets lottery luck

[Carson Hilton @CarsonLHilton]

TOP 4!!

Says Jeff Cluff, UHSAA director of officiating, “One of the biggest reasons we have a hard time retaining people is because of people leaving because of the bad behavior of parents, of coaches, of players. But mostly from parents.” | Carson Hilton https://t.co/m1ragq6mth
