Fragen und Antworten » escaped with a 90-88

At midnight on Thursday evening, the 2016 draft gets underway. Despite a glorified picking first in the school playground style, the draft has become a showpiece event for the sport, and rightly so.You can watch the first round live on Sky Sports 1 from midnight on Thursday. Here’s a beginner’s guide on what to look out for...Quarterback crucialThis is one to ease you in to proceedings, as we know that quarterbacks will be selected with the first two picks of the draft. Los Angeles Rams made the bold move of trading up from the 15th pick in the first round to number one, followed by Philadelphia Eagles moving from eighth to second.They each gave up a multitude of picks in this years and next years draft to Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns respectively for the privilege of picking the top two quarterbacks in this years class, Jared Goff or Carson Wentz. Jared Goff, quarterback for the California Golden Bears, is the other top prospect in the draft A franchise quarterback is always seen as the quickest way to turn a team’s fortunes around and both the Rams and Eagles are besotted by the top two signal callers this year, hence the trades to ensure they land one.Goff is seen as the most pro-ready, but Wentz supposedly has greater potential, so it will be fascinating to see in which order theyre selected.And if, by some incredible shock, only one or none of those quarterbacks are picked, well that will be fun to watch too!First RoundThursdays draft covers just the first in a total of seven rounds. For 2016, only 31 of the 32 teams in the NFL gets a pick in the first round, rather than the usual 32.This anomaly is due to New England Patriots selection being forfeited as punishment for their participation in the Deflategate scandal, where they supposedly deflated footballs to gain an advantage over Indianapolis Colts in a playoff win on their way to success in Superbowl XLIX. Tom Brady (L), pictured during the controversial 2015 AFC Championship Game As a result - barring a trade - the Patriots first pick will be in the second round, 60th overall.As for the other teams, what number they pick at is based on their performance in the previous season, from worst to first. So as Super Bowl winners, Denver Broncos are last to pick at 31, while Tennessee - holders of the worst record in the 2015 season - were due to pick first overall before their blockbuster trade with Los Angeles. Speaking of which...Blockbuster tradesJust because there has already been some jostling for premium positions with those trades made by the Rams and Eagles, it does not mean weve seen the last of them either in the hours before Draft Day, or as it is unfolding. Colin Kaepernick struggled in 2015 for the San Francisco 49ers and is supposedly seeking a trade Trades will almost certainly take place as teams look to guarantee that the player they want is available by the time they pick, and the surest way to do that is to leapfrog up the order by offering lower round picks, or even players in exchange for the privilege to pick higher.Big names such as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick have all been touted as possible trade bait, and any such moves will cause quite the stir in Chicago.Chicago making noiseChicago hosts the draft again. It’s the second time straight for the Windy City, rewarded for doing a sterling job last year when staging the first NFL Draft outside of New York since 1963. Graphics show the Chicago Bears pick is coming in during the 2015 Draft Look out for local Bears fans to stamp their own unique imprint on proceedings. Some of the best moments of Draft days past have been the ‘colourful’ reactions by the New York fans to picks by their beloved Giants and Jets, so Chicago’s selection with the 11th pick will be worth watching.Tears on the telephoneSomeone will cry. In fact, almost all of them cry. Keep your eyes peeled when the camera cuts to a tearful giant in the green room hugging their family and agent as it should give you a headstart on who the selection with the next pick will be.Things don’t always go to plan, though, as some are left sitting anxiously, waiting for the phone to ring with the cameras circling and the room emptying. Alex Smith (far left) was selected first, ahead of Aaron Rodgers (third left) in 2005 Even Green Bay Packers’ great Aaron Rodgers wasn’t selected until the 24th pick in the 2005 Draft.For those who choose not to attend, the entertainment is provided when the camera cuts to them with their friends and family assembled in their living room, who realising they’re on TV, bundle on the player picked like they are trying to sack a quarterback.Character issues versus the unknownA player’s talent is always the main pull towards them being a top pick. But sometimes their questionable character can see them drop down the pecking order, and similarly some unknown players or ones with bags of potential but have yet to produce consistently, can go higher than expected. Where would Riyad Mahrez be drafted now in comparison to before the Premier League season? Consider if you will, Eden Hazard versus Riyad Mahrez in a Draft-style scenario before this years Premier League. Who would have been picked higher at the start of the season, and who would you pick now?Follow the 2016 NFL Draft on Sky Sports 1 from midnight on Thursday and via our live blog here at www.skysports.com/nfl Also See: Making sense of the Combine Ram-Titans: A good deal? 2015 Draft: Non first round surprises 2015 Draft: Hits and misses Claudio Marchisio Jersey .C. - Blair Jones scored the eventual winner in the third period as the Abbotsford Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Oil Barons 3-2 in American Hockey League action on Friday.

Giorgio Chiellini Jersey . -- Max Gilbert captured his first pro victory at the Tour Championship of Canada.NEW ORLEANS -- The Pelicans offence hit a cold streak at the worst time. Mike Conley hit a driving layup against Austin Rivers with 1.5 seconds remaining to complete Memphis 9-0 run over the final 3:22 and the Grizzlies escaped with a 90-88 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. Conley initially drove to his right, and then split the lane before pulling up just short of the goal for his game-winning basket.. The Pelicans were out of timeouts and Rivers missed a long desperation shot as time expired. "Its very sweet," said Conley, who scored 16 points in leading the Grizzlies to their fourth consecutive win. "We knew who they had on the floor. They were going to switch the pick-and-roll. I ended up splitting it and having a lane." The undermanned Pelicans, playing without guards Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon, missed five shots and committed one turnover during the final 3:22. "Its tough," Rivers said. "We felt like we had the game won. We should have known better. They are a veteran team." Anthony Morrow missed a 3-point attempt with 14.3 seconds remaining, setting up the Grizzlies for the winning shot. "It felt great," Morrow said of his missed shot. "I was open, just a little bit off." Marc Gasol added 15 points, and Zach Randolph and Tony Allen 13 each for Memphis. Anthony Davis scored 29 points, including 22 in the first half, for the Pelicans, who had won their past three games. Rivers scored 14 points, Brian Roberts 12 and Morrow 10 for New Orleans. Davis, who turned 21 Tuesday, added 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. "The last few minutes we could not get anything," Davis said.dddddddddddd"We couldnt run a play. We had a couple of bad shots, turned the ball over." After taking a 57-48 halftime lead, the Pelicans were held to 31 points in the second half, equaling their second-quarter output. New Orleans, which scored 14 points in the final quarter, finished with 17 turnovers and 16 assists. "We just couldnt score," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "We couldnt get into an offence. We kind of went away from the things that weve been doing, pushing the ball down the floor off stops." Memphis juggled its defence against Davis in the second half, using Tayshaun Prince, then James Johnson. The ploy worked as Davis, who was 8 of 11 in the first half, finished 9 of 14. "I thought that was effective but it was an effort thing," Memphis coach David Joerger said. "We didnt play hard enough or with enough energy in the first half. Then, in the second half, we picked up more energy. We went small a little bit just to kind of junk up the game." Davis was dominant in the first half, scoring 22 points. He displayed his full arsenal, scoring underneath or stepping out and hitting the open jumper. Randolph led the Grizzlies with 12 points and four rebounds in the half. He was 5 of 7, taking advantage of his matchup against the Pelicans Alexis Ajinca. NOTES: The Pelicans made all of 22 of their free throw attempts, the first time they were perfect from the line since March 18, 2013, against Golden State. It was the second most free throws made while staying perfect in franchise history.
