Another trio of prospects undergo pre-draft workout with Warriors
Chase Center has been busy as a flurry of different draft prospects have made their way through San Francisco for pre-draft workouts with the Golden State Warriors. Before Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Steve Kerr are on the clock with the No. 41 selection in the 2025 edition of the draft, the Warriors have been doing their homework on different prospects with pre-draft workouts.
The latest group of prospects to travel to Chase Center was headlined by 2025 NCAA scoring lead, Eric Dixon. The Villanova big man was joined by Georgetown's Micah Peavy, Kentucky's Jaxson Robinson and Temple's Steve Settle III, according to Sam Gordon the San Francisco Chronicle.
Dixon, the 6-foot-8 forward, led the nation in scoring with 23.3 points on 45.1% shooting from the field and 40.7% shooting from deep to go along with 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists. Dixon tallied 30 or more points in five different games for the Wildcats last season, including a 38-point explosion against Maryland. Dixon was named to the All-Big East team in three straight seasons, including 2025, where he was also voted a third-team AP All-American.
Peavy, a 6-foot-7 guard, played five seasons of college basketball with stops at Texas Tech, TCU and Georgetown. Peavy earned All-Big East honors with Georgetown, averaging 17.2 points on 48.1% shooting from the field and 40% shooting from deep to go along with 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Robinson played at Texas A&M, Arkansas, BYU and Kentucky in his college career. Robinson's final season in Lexington was cut short due to a wrist injury. Prior to his injury, Robinson averaged 13 points on 43.2% shooting from the fieldand 37.6% from deep to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
After three seasons at Howard, Settle played the final two seasons of his career at Temple. The 6-foot-10 forward averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 boards in his final season for the Owls.
The NBA draft is set to begin on June 25 in Brooklyn. The Warriors are slated to hit the clock in the second round on June 26.

Former Washington minority owner Fred Smith dies at 80
Fred Smith, a towering figure in American business, has died. He was 80. While in most contexts he will be remembered first and foremost as the founder of FedEx, Smith had a significant impact on the NFL. He was the father of former Falcons coach and current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Fred Smith also was a long-time minority owner of the Washington Commanders, and FedEx for many years held the naming rights to the stadium where the team plays. Beyond his company expressly requesting that the team abandon its former nickname in July 2020, Smith's efforts to extricate himself from the team placed significant pressure on former principal owner Daniel Snyder. Along with Robert Rothman and Dwight Schar, Smith worked to find a way out of their partnership with Snyder, culminating in Snyder buying their stakes in the franchise in early 2021. The unrest sparked by Smith and the other minority partners contributed to the focus on the business activities of the franchise as led by Snyder. There is an unmistakable link between the Smith/Rothman/Schar situation and the ultimate ouster of Snyder in 2023. Smith first acquired his interest in the team in 2003. He had attempted to secure an expansion franchise in Memphis in the 1990s, when the Panthers and Jaguars joined the NFL. With Elvis Presley's estate involved in the bid, the team would have been known as the Memphis Hound Dogs.

Caitlin Clark delivered a classy reaction to latest WNBA All-Star news
Caitlin on leading all star voting'That's not why you play…but it is cool and also it's cool for me to see how much love my teammates also got. I think had 4 in the top 10. Whether who ends up being an all star or not, it's still cool to see the love you get from the fans.' Caitlin Clark didn't totally dismiss the fact that she's currently the leading vote-getter at the moment for the 2025 WNBA All-Star game -- at first count, she's at nearly 516,000 votes, with Napheesa Collier behind at 484,758. When asked about the honor on Saturday, the Indiana Fever star kept it classy while also acknowledging how awesome it is for her to see her name at the top of that list. MORE WNBA: Warriors player savagely taunted Caitlin Clark 'It is what it is," she said with a smile. "People get so hyped up over that, but that's not why you play the game. I think it's a fun way to get fans involved and really passionate." Then, she added this: "But it is cool, and also it's cool for me to see how much love my teammates also got. I think we had four in the top 10, so whether who ends up being an All-Star or not, it's still cool to see the type love you get from the fans.' That's the way you keep it classy -- appreciating the fans, acknowledging teammates and so on -- while also being wowed by it. We'll see if this keeps up as she continues her second WNBA season, one in which her numbers are pretty identical to last year's output -- she's averaging 19.9/5.7/8.7 and over a steal a game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field (same as last season) and 35.5 from beyond the arc.

Ranking Georgia football's 2025 home games from worst to first
The Georgia Bulldogs have a great home schedule for the 2025 season after having a pretty pedestrian home slate in 2024. Georgia's top home games are against Ole Miss, Alabama and Texas. Georgia fans have a lot to of interesting games to look forward to in 2025. The Bulldogs play three non-Power Four opponents and four SEC foes at home. Georgia enters the 2025 college football season on a 31 game home winning streak, which is the longest in the country. Georgia's last home loss came to the South Carolina Gamecocks in double overtime on Oct. 12, 2019. Since Georgia's last home loss, the Bulldogs have won two SEC championships and two national championships. However, Georgia will have a tough time going undefeated at home in 2025. Ranking Georgia football's 2025 home games from worst to best 7. Austin Peay Governors Austin Peay is Georgia's only Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) opponent this fall. The Governors lost to Georgia 45-0 in Athens back in 2018. There's no reason to think this game will be competitive. With a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff, Georgia fans in attendance will likely be battling the heat. Austin Peay is Georgia's second straight non-Power Four opponent to open the season, but doe not come with the excitement of the season opener. Fans tuning in on TV may not like the channel selection for this one either. Date: Sept. 6 at 3:30 p.m. (all times listed at ET)TV: ESPN+/SEC Network+ 6. Charlotte 49ers The Charlotte 49ers have just one bowl appearance in their short school history (since 2015). The 49ers play in the American conference and likely won't be competitive with Georgia, but it will be UGA's last home game of the season, so it will be celebration for Georgia's senior class. As an added bonus, we like the 12:45 p.m. kickoff time for two reasons. First of all, Georgia plays Georgia Tech on Friday, so it gives the Bulldogs a bit of extra rest. Secondly, Georgia fans will be able to get some sunlight on what is likely to be a cool November day. Date: Nov. 22 at 12:45 SEC Network 5. Marshall Thundering Herd Marshall is the best of Georgia's three non-Power Four opponents this season. Georgia plays Marshall in the season opener, so it is must-watch action for Bulldog fans to see how the 2025 edition of UGA looks. Marshall won at Notre Dame back in 2022 under current head coach Charles Huff. The Thundering Herd are coming off a strong 10-3 season where they won the Sun Belt Conference championship. However, Marshall opted out of the Independence Bowl after too many players entered the transfer portal. Marshall is capable of making things interesting with Georgia in Week 1. Date: Aug. 30 at 3:30 ESPN 4. Kentucky Wildcats Now we're getting into the good games. Georgia plays Kentucky in their second SEC home game of the season. Georgia plays the Wildcats a week after Alabama, so the Bulldogs could be dealing with a big game hangover. Kentucky always smells like a trap for Georgia and 2025 is no different. Kentucky has given Georgia a lot of trouble over the years, but Georgia has won 15 straight games over the Wildcats. Georgia fans should expect another physical, low-scoring battle against the Wildcats. Date: Oct. 4 at noonTV: ESPN or ABC 3. Ole Miss Rebels Georgia fell at Ole Miss 28-10 last season after dominating the Rebels in Athens during the a convincing 52-17 win in 2023. Ole Miss back up quarterback Austin Simmons shredded the Georgia defense on one drive after Jaxson Dart briefly left in the 2024 matchup. Simmons is expected to start for coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels in 2024. Georgia-Ole Miss should be a very entertaining game. Both teams will look very different than their 2024 versions as both teams had at least eight players picked (Ole Miss 8, Georgia 13) in the 2025 NFL draft. Date: Oct. 18 at flex kickoff time (afternoon or night)TV: To be determined 2. Alabama Crimson Tide The Alabama game is technically Georgia's only scheduled home night game of the season (both Texas and Ole Miss are flex games), but we'd be surprised if the Bulldogs don't get at least two night home games. Last season, Alabama beat Georgia 41-34 after the Bulldogs mounted a furious comeback. The 2025 edition of Georgia-Alabama will feature two new quarterbacks and no Nick Saban, but the Dawgs and Crimson Tide are still two of the top programs in college football. Both schools are looking to make a name for themselves in 2025 and as usual a lot will be on the line when Georgia and Alabama meet. Georgia and Alabama have combined to win five of 11 national championships during the College Football Playoff era (they faced off in two national title games during this time span) and 10 of the last 11 SEC championships (they met in three of those 10 SEC championship games). Date: Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. TV: ABC 1. Texas Longhorns Arch Manning and Texas will travel to Athens for the first ever time as a member of the SEC. Texas is projected to be the preseason No. 1 team. The Longhorns played Georgia twice in 2024 with the Dawgs winning both meetings including the 2024 SEC championship. Both teams are expected to contend for the national championship and the winner of the Georgia-Texas game could clinch a berth in the SEC championship. The Georgia-Texas game has a little more intrigue than the Georgia-Alabama game because Georgia has never played Texas in Sanford Stadium and because it is later in the season. The Georgia-Texas game could also effectively eliminate the loser from the College Football Playoff depending on how the season shakes out. If we could only go to one UGA home game this season, then we'd pick the Georgia-Texas game. Date: Nov. 15 at flex kickoff time (afternoon or night)TV: To be determined
