NBA Insider Bobby Marks Gives Draft Winners and Losers

The dust has settled from the NBA draft, and No. 5 pick Ace Bailey still doesn’t seem that jazzed to be in Utah. Will the former Rutgers star even play for his new team, and what are his options if he doesn’t show up? Also, which teams made great selections and which dropped the ball? ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks joins Baker Machado and Derryl Barnes to give his draft winners and losers, as well as answer whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the Bucks next season.

Plus, after three lockouts over the last 20 years, the NHL and NHLPA have agreed to a new CBA through 2030 that will include an 84-game regular season in 2026. FOS editorial director of features Meredith Turits breaks down the new deal, which includes a solution for emergency goalies and the maximum length for player contracts.

And Apple’s $200 million film F1 finally hits theaters this week. Will the blockbuster starring Brad Pitt bring new fans to the sport?
