Lonzo Or Fultz? Who's Going Number One?
SB nation

Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball? It's the question that draft analysts have been pondering over for most of the last year. On one hand, you have a true point guard with a winning culture and the ability to lead his team to greatness. On the other hand, you have a generational talent with the ability to take over a game in an instant. So when it comes down to it, who should be picked first?

As of now, Markelle Fultz seems to be the frontrunner for going first overall. The main knock on him is his team's record. The Washington Huskies only had nine wins on the season compared to a whopping twenty-two losses. Fultz averaged nearly 24 points per game to go with six assists per game. He made college basketball his personal plaything and the scouts can see it. Along with that, he would be a perfect fit to go with the Celtics if they land the top pick. They currently have the best odds of nabbing it courtesy of the Brooklyn Nets pick. He would be a perfect fire off the bench for when Isaiah Thomas has to sit. Even more so, he's one of the more physically gifted point guards and has the ability to play defense with the best of them. He's been thought to be the number one ticket all year long and nothing's changed. His only real competition is Lonzo Ball.

Ball averaged 14 points per game to go along with an astounding seven assists per game and nearly willed the Bruins all the way to the final four. He's a true team leader and he makes everyone around him better. The main knock on him is his shot. The fact of the matter is, it's one of the ugliest shots in basketball and even though it works for him, the majority of his points do come in the paint. Besides that though, he's an above average defender with a knack for finding his teammates open. Some people compare him to Russel Westbrook, and we all know how he's doing this season.

As of now, the controversy over who goes number one is still minimal and it will continue to gain steam as time passes. One thing's for sure though, whoever is picked first, they'll have a bright future ahead of them.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.
