COLUMBUS, Ohio – A month later than normal (but what’s normal these days??), the NBA will host its draft on Thursday evening at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. 60 players will have a dream come true of hearing their name called on draft night and Buckeye Duane Washington Jr. is hoping to be one of the select few.
The All-Big Ten honoree has had an impressive 2021, leading the Buckeyes in scoring this past year and then showed his skills at both the NBA G League Elite Camp and the NBA Draft Combine this summer.

Wolves gonna be Wolves, some of you lamented.
Why didn t the Wolves tank, you wondered.
Way to screw up a chance at Jalen Suggs, you charged.
I m not sure how their intentions didn t sink in during the final weeks of the season, when the Wolves made it clear they wanted to win as many games as possible. D Angelo Russell was finally healthy and was able to play with Karl-Anthony Towns for an extended run. Wolves major-domo Gersson Rosas wanted to see how the roster he rebuilt looked with key players available.
Other than Malik Beasley, they were healthy down the stretch. They went 7-5 over their final 12 games and passed teams like Detroit and Orlando that were in free fall after making white flag trades at the deadline. The Wolves finished with the seventh pick and had to send it to the Warriors to complete the Andrew Wiggins trade. Since they also dealt their second-round pick, the Wolves will sit this draft out unless they trade Beasley, perhaps for a pick.
