Florida's Walter Clayton Jr. projected to this team in CBS Sports's latest NBA mock draft
Florida's Walter Clayton Jr. projected to this team in CBS Sports's latest NBA mock draft The 2025 NBA draft is just two weeks away and ahead of the professional basketball league's annual amateur selection process, the predictions continue to roll in from every corner of the sports media. The main focus for fans of the Florida Gators is on point guard Walter Clayton Jr., who willed the Orange and Blue to its third national championship last spring. The prolific player from Lake Wales, Florida, was among the best that the college ranks had to offer during the 2024-25 campaign, and now it is his turn to cash in on his talents in the draft. The big question has centered on where Clayton could land. The consensus take is that he will be selected in the first round, but experts' opinions vary from somewhere near the end of the lottery to the end of the first day of the draft. So, where does CBS Sports writer Cameron Salerno expect Clayton to be picked? He answers that query in his latest mock draft, which has the Gator great heading to the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 17th selection. "The Timberwolves are in an interesting spot heading into the offseason. Minnesota reached the conference finals in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history but now has a handful of key decisions to make. Minnesota swung big and traded up to draft Rob Dillingham last summer," Salerno explains. "With the point guard position still not finalized long-term, the Timberwolves take arguably the best guard in college basketball from this past season." Walter Clayton's senior year stats The graduating senior out of Bartow, Florida, averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 campaign. He earned First-Team All-SEC and All-American honors, and was named Most Outstanding Player in the 2025 Final Four for his title-winning heroics.

Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division
Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division originally appeared on Athlon Sports. According to NFL schedule experts, since the NFL has experts in every aspect of the game, the Atlanta Falcons have the 20th-ranked strength of schedule for the 2025 NFL season. Advertisement The Falcons are ranked 17th in the league in terms of difficulty alone. However, they will play against seven teams that were over .500 last season. Three of those teams had at least twelve wins, and six had fewer than six wins. Six of Atlanta's games will be against teams that made the playoffs last year. Numbers and math are complex, but a portion of Atlanta's schedule could present them with an opportunity to rattle off a few straight wins and set themselves up for a run at the NFC South division title. Looking at the schedule and eyeing weeks 8 through 17 could give Atlanta just what they need to turn this thing around and make their first playoff appearance since 2017. Falcons GM Terry Fontenot speaks to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine. Kirby Lee-Imagn Images In week 8, the Falcons will take on the Miami Dolphins at home. They will hit the road in week 9 for a date with the New England Patriots, then return home for a week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. During this stretch, Atlanta could be looking at rattling off three wins in a row and propelling the team to a first-place division lead. Advertisement In Week 11, the Falcons will have a home game against the Carolina Panthers. Yes, they will be better across the board, but Atlanta could prove to be too much offensively. Week 12 at the New Orleans Saints is always a toss-up due to the bitter rivalry, but Atlanta could also snag a win here, depending on the Saints' QB situation. Weeks 13 and 14 will feature Atlanta taking on the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks at home. Atlanta could be looking at a six- or seven-game win streak at this point in the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 15 are another division toss-up. Weeks 16 and 17 will bring on the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. All of this is speculation, and the Atlanta Falcons will need to develop the chemistry this summer with all of the new additions on defense. However, the offensive side of the ball can be a very potent weapon for the foreseeable future in the NFL and should propel Atlanta to the top of the NFC South.
