Honest question.
Yaxel Lendeborg is 24.
A lot of front office personnel look at that and see a rookie who's already too old.
I see a guy who's ready to play tonight.
The obvious answer is younger is better.
But if the potential never shows up, why did it matter?
So what's more valuable?
Someone who can help now, or a younger guy with more potential?
Solid outing in Lithuania for Grant Shepherd with 14 points & 5 rebounds against Tauragė tonight, another steady contribution as he keeps finding his rhythm in one of Europe's most competitive basketball leagues
Bryan Jefferson's return to Jämtland: 26 points and 5 rebounds vs Norrköping. Picked up right where he left off
Daishon Smith runs the show for Mineros against his former club, and Barret Benson anchors the paint for Astros. LNBP semifinals!
Billy Garrett has completed his first @LNBPoficial participation with Freseros becoming the #3 top scorer in the league!
Incredible achievement by Mr Kagame and Rwanda’s administration. A notable sign of progress
🚨Formula one returns to Africa in Rwanda from 2030
The plan is a permanent circuit about 40 km from Kigali, near Bugesera International Airport, designed by WurzDesign , Alexander Wurz’s firm.
I would wish to appreciate the efforts of Lewis Hamilton in championing for a Grand prix to be held in Africa.
Special Thanks to H.E Paul Kagame for making this come true.

From Lavrio to Monaco to a guaranteed NBA contract at 29. Great look inside our three-year scouting process on Alpha Diallo - why he stayed on the radar, how his role kept evolving, and what European basketball revealed about his game.
The Nuggets desperately need defenders. They went overseas to get one this offseason.
Here’s how they decided to take a chance on 29-year-old NBA rookie Alpha Diallo, a three-year scouting process spanning from Monaco to Angola:

Still can't get over this as a European. I'm flying 154 km today. CLT → GSO (a 1:30h drive). Boarding to landing takes about as long as the car. Only in America 🇺🇸

Dwight Howard says when he went straight from high school to becoming the No. 1 pick and signing a $20,000,000 deal with Orlando, so many people suddenly wanted access to him, but his father kept him protected in a bubble so he could focus on basketball
“There were so many people that were wanting to be around. But my father, he did a really good job of protecting me. I’m so young. The only thing on my mind was hooping.”
“I didn’t see all the, ‘Hey, I can get your son this, I can do this.’ My dad kept me away from that. I appreciate that because without that, I don’t know if I would’ve made it.”
“People were pulling me left and right, and he was like, ‘Nah, we’re going to keep our son right here and he’s going to make it.’”
“People don’t understand. You can say what you want from the outside, but once you actually experience how much money and fame can destroy a family, man…”
“It can bring out the good or the bad in you depending on who you are. It’s a very fine line, being famous or a celebrity and having money, and then at the same time being respectful, humble, courteous.”
