The challenge the Nets are facing with their huge draft haul
NY Post
Having five first-round picks is a First World problem.
But that doesn’t change the fact the Nets have a challenge in front of them: How to develop them all?
This draft class is going to be the foundation of Brooklyn’s rebuild. How can they possibly hope to give the entire quintet enough playing time — much less attention and tutelage — to see them all grow into what the Nets will need them to be?

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season.
