Hornets select Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:06:39 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There was plenty of debate in the weeks leading up to the NBA draft over whether the Charlotte Hornets preferred Alabama’s Brandon Miller or the G League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson with the No 2 pick.In general manager Mitch Kupchak’s mind there was never a debate.“Brandon was our favorite all along,” Kupchak said. “There was a lot of spirited discussion in the last three days, which I welcome. … But I think he’s the player that is the best player.”Miller gives the Hornets an athletic 6-foot-9 wing with a smooth shooting stroke who can knock down shots from the perimeter. He averaged 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season for the Crimson Tide, who entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed before making an early exit.But the Southeastern Conference’s player of the year as a freshman comes with some baggage.Miller is tied to a case that led to former Tide player Darius Miles and another man being indicted on cap...

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) — Lee-Anne Pace isn’t playing a lot of competitive golf these days at 42-years-old and her practice habits have tailed off. She enjoys the game, and every once in a while, the South African really enjoys it.The first round of the Women’s PGA Championship at historic Baltusrol on Thursday was one of them.Pace made a two-putt birdie on the final hole in fading daylight to cap a bogey-free 5-under 66 and grab a one-stroke lead after the opening round of the second major of the year in women’s golf.“Honestly, I just came over because I like to come over every now and then for one or two events,” Pace said. “I honestly did not expect to be leading the tournament after day one. It’s a very, very difficult golf course. To be in my position, I’m just really happy that I had a good score.”Teeing off at 2:28 p.m., Pace made seven pars to start her round, then finished with five birdies in her final 11 holes, hitting the par-5 18th in two and getting down in two.

7-foot-4 Frenchman Victor Wembanyama taken by San Antonio Spurs with 1st pick of NBA Draft

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:06:39 GMT

(CNN) — Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-4 Frenchman who some NBA commentators think could be a generational talent, was the No. 1 pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Draft on Thursday night.The past two times the five-time NBA champions have had the top pick, they also selected big men – David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997. Both had Hall of Fame careers and earned championship rings.Unlike many players his size, Wembanyama is not a prototypical NBA center. While the 19-year-old can be dominant on defense, he is able to dribble the ball like a point guard and shoot from 3-point range efficiently.“It’s a tough league,” Wembanyama told draft broadcaster ESPN through tears after he was selected. “I going to try to learn as quick as possible because I want to win that ring.”Wembanyama said he had dreamed so much of hearing NBA Commissioner Adam Silver call his name, he had to cry when the moment arrived.Wembanyama played the past three seasons in France’s LNB Pro A, ...

Plastic economy: the unintended consequence of reuse targets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:06:39 GMT

The European corrugated cardboard industry shares the European Union’s ambition to pioneer climate neutrality and drive fundamental change in the European economy. Corrugated cardboard packaging stands out as a prime example of circularity, as it is collected and recycled extensively throughout Europe. This is a testament to the effectiveness of our well established, high-performance recycling system, which has enabled the recycling rate for cardboard to exceed 90 percent and corrugated cardboard to reach an average recycled content of 89 percent. Following its commitment, industry has developed credible pathways to reach the EU’s climate neutrality ambitions.The European Union’s new rules on the reuse of packaging risk leading to an uptake of plastic packaging, and consequently of plastic waste and pollution.Eleni Despotou, Director General, FEFCO | via FEFCOThe European Union’s new rules on the reuse of packaging risk leading to an uptake of plastic packaging, and consequently of ...
