(Milwaukee, WI) — Bucks center Myles Turner says teammates were consistently late for practices and meetings, but nobody got fined. Turner shared the lack of a sense of order in the Milwaukee locker room under coach Doc Rivers. The biggest offender? Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Turner told the story on his podcast that, “If the plane took off at two o’clock, we weren’t leaving till 4:30.” The former Bucks coach Rivers will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in August.
(Chicago, IL) — Former Wisconsin Badgers John Blackwell and Nick Boyd are impressing scouts at the NBA Combine in Chicago this week. Blackwell scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds in the first scrimmage. His defensive intensity was also noted. Boyd scored 23, to go with eight assists, in the second scrimmage. Boyd wasn’t expected to be in the draft, but that might change. Blackwell still has to decide whether to declare or transfer to Duke to continue his college career.
