Jaden Ivey is the most dynamic guard in the draft and considered a virtual lock to be a top five pick. Most mock drafts currently have him slotted at either four or five to Sacramento or Detroit respectively, but there’s a possibility someone in the top three opts to bet on his potential too.

High School Ivey’s mother, Nielle Ivey, who is currently the head women’s basketball coach at Notre Dame, had just finishing her first season in the WNBA when she had Jaden.

Louis van Gaal had been sacked with the FA Cup plonked right in front of him. United's alarming slump With 2017 the last time Manchester United won a major trophy, they are now on their longest drought in four decades. After victory in the 1977 FA Cup, they had to wait until 1983 for their next triumph … [Read more...] about Manchester United’s five years of failure examined: How and why the trophies stopped and key factors explored

A maiden IPL hundred was a just reward for his clean, non-muddled hitting for RCB on Wednesday night (May 25). His innings ensured that RCB reach a very challenging total against LSG and in a prime position to reach Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals.
