Minneapolis/St. Paul – The NBA today named Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards as its Kia NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month for April.

EUGENE Jevon Holland heads a group of former Oregon defensive backs that could match or set a program record this weekend if at least three of them are selected during the NFL draft.
The Ducks have had three defensive backs drafted in the same year just twice, with Latin Berry, Chris Oldham and Chris Reed selected in 1990, and Mario Clark, Ron Lee and Chuck Wills drafted in 1976.
Holland, Thomas Graham Jr., Deommodore Lenoir, Brady Breeze and Nick Pickett give UO a chance to at least match those prior groups as most draft projections have at least Holland and Graham being selected and many also have Lenoir.
