In Part One for RBs, I highlighted six running backs (actually seven, but Bryce Love decided to pull a surprise return to school) who have the potential to be drafted highly in the upcoming NFL Draft, but my general takeaway from this class is the depth.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (ankle) scored 21 points with three threes in a loss to Indiana on Saturday.

Jayson Tatum Disappears Against the Warriors

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum couldn't get it going against the Dubs in Oakland on Saturday, scoring just four points on a very poor 2-for-9 from the field.
