Donovan Mitchell Goes Off Against Nets In Paris!

By on


        The Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers played a match all the way in Paris, France. There are many notable NBA players to come from France such as Tony Parker, Rudy Gobert, Evan Fourner, Nicholas Batum and Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama. The first time the NBA played in Paris was in 1997 featuring Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls. The second time was in 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic, featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets in which the Bucks won the game (Bucks 116, Hornets 103). The last time the NBA played in France was last year featuring the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons in which the Bulls won the game (Bulls 126, Pistons 108). 



        The Cleveland Cavaliers had full control of the game against the Brooklyn Nets from beginning to end. The Nets never led in this game and the Cavaliers got great contributions from all of their players. Off the bench, Caris LeVert scored 21 points and George Niang with a solid 10 points. The player that was on fire for the Cleveland Cavaliers was Donovan Mitchell. 



        Donovan Mitchell has had a lot of responsibility with Darius Garland sidelined with a jaw injury. However the challenge is nothing new to him as he's been in that situation plenty of times when he was on the Utah Jazz. Donovan Mitchell gave the people of Paris a fabulous performance scoring a new season-high 45 points shooting 15 of 30 (50%) from the field and 4 of 12 (33%) from 3-point range, grabbed 12 rebounds, along with 6 assist and 4 steals. The Cavaliers left Paris with a huge win over the Nets (Cavaliers 111, Nets 102).

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
