NBA to hold draft 2020 on November 18

The NBA will hold its annual draft for the year 2020 on November 18, a month before the league\’s 2020-2021 season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves hold the number one overall pick\’s rights, followed by the Golden State Warriors. The Charlotte Hornets has the third pick and the Chicago Bulls in the fourth.
Anthony Edwards, from the Georgia Bulldogs, is the favorite for the top pick. James Wiseman, who played with the Memphis Tigers, is another frontrunner and the youngest in the Ball brothers, Lamelo.
Ball played overseas with the Illawarra Hawks and the top pick in a mock draft by several sports analysts.
However, there is a rumor that the Warriors are willing to trade their second overall pick to acquire LaMarcus Aldridge from the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran power forward/center is known as a bucket in the low post, which the Warriors need.
He can create more space for the outside shooters like the splash brothers, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, to attract a double team in the post.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have no plan to trade their top pick as they continue to rebuild.
They currently have the 2015 NBA top pick Karl Anthony Towns. They also acquired the second overall pick from the same draft, D’Angelo Russell, from the Warriors by trading their 2014 top pick Andrew Wiggins.
If the Timberwolves pick Edwards, they will have a broader offensive lineup with Russel at the point guard spot, Edwards as the shooting guard, and Towns in the middle.
Nonetheless, teams will have to work double-time after the free agency and draft night to ensure that the new players will build the chemistry they will need for the season.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
