His athleticism and length were the first things that I noticed. Throughout the spring and summer, he elevated his game by proving to be a reliable shot maker in addition to being such an explosive athlete.If Sharpe does decide to enter his name in the 2022 NBA Draft, he will likely receive legitimate interest from teams selecting in the lottery.

ANALYSIS:&nbsp;With Fox's relatively disappointing play this season, the Kings have discussed including him in a trade for Sabonis.
Sabonis would likely be a natural fit with Tyrese Haliburton, who thrived as the lead guard in Fox's absence.

Denver, Boston and San Antonio are making a three-way trade that includes Juancho Hernangomez to Spurs, Bryn Forbes to Denver, Bol Bol and PJ Dozier to Celtics, sources tell ESPN.

ANALYSIS:&nbsp;Neither player will make an on-court impact for Boston in the short-term. Bol is out 2-3 months with a foot injury, per Wojnarowski, and Dozier is out for the season with a torn ACL.&nbsp;
The Nuggets pickup a veteran sharpshooter in Forbes who can boost the bench rotation. San Antonio adds a stretch forward in Hernangomez, who was unable to break the Celtics' rotation.&nbsp;

Neither player will make an on-court impact for Boston in the short-term due to injuries.

ANALYSIS:&nbsp;Vogel was given a one-season contract extension last Summer. He has been the coach in L.A. for three seasons, leading the Lakers to an NBA title in 2019-20, and has compiled a 116-71 record with the team in that span. However, the Lakers have floundered this season relative to expectations and are 22-22 just past the halfway mark.&nbsp;
