Where LSU baseball's Kade Anderson sits in latest ESPN MLB mock draft
With days left until the 2025 MLB Draft, LSU baseball pitcher Kade Anderson climbed to the top of the latest mock draft from ESPN's Kiley McDaniel. McDaniel has the Washington Nationals selecting Anderson with the first overall pick in Sunday's draft. The left-hander was considered a lock for the first round throughout the 2025 season, but his playoff performance elevated his stock. "There is a lot of uncertainty at this pick after the firing of GM Mike Rizzo. The effect, if you believe the buzz in the industry, is that Anderson is now a little more likely to be the pick. I think it stands at about a 55% chance it will be Anderson, 35% for Ethan Holliday and 10% for Eli Willits/others," McDaniel said. Should the Nationals not take Anderson, it seems likely that the Los Angeles Angels will use their second overall selection to grab him. McDaniel has the Angels taking fellow southpaw Liam Doyle out of Tennessee. Anderson finished his second season at LSU as a national champion. He claimed the Friday starting role and finished with a 3.18 ERA and 180 strikeouts over 119 innings. In the final game of his collegiate career, Anderson used 130 pitches and got 10 strikeouts in a complete-game shutout over Coastal Carolina in the College World Series finals. LSU right-handed pitchers Anthony Eyanson and Chase Shores also earned spots on McDaniels' mock draft. Eyanson is slotted at No. 42 overall to the Tampa Bay Rays and Shores is at No. 59 to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Details on meeting between Luka Doncic and Rob Pelinka in May
Just four days after the Los Angeles Lakers were knocked out of the NBA playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Luka Doncic, their new generational superstar, and Lara Beth Seager, his manager, met with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and coach JJ Redick at an upscale restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif. Ever since the Lakers landed Doncic in a seismic trade on Feb. 1, it has been clear that their aim has been to build a championship team around and for him. That meant LeBron James was no longer their most important player or biggest concern. An ESPN article by Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst outlined what was discussed between everyone at that meeting. "The purpose of the meeting was as clear as their choice of door: Doncic is the face of the franchise now, and the Lakers wanted him -- and everyone else -- to know it. "Over a bottle of Opus One, Pelinka and Redick explained not only their strategy in building the team around Doncic's skill set, sources told ESPN, but also the complexities of the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement and how they planned to navigate them. "That exquisite bottle of wine might have helped Doncic digest Pelinka's explanation of arcane topics such as the second apron, the value of preserving salary cap space to help acquire an age-appropriate star alongside of him and what remained of the Lakers' draft assets. Pelinka had made it a working dinner, toting in a thick binder. "That binder, with those offseason Lakers plans and longer-range strategies and dreams, used to be presented to James at meetings like these. On the agenda, the concepts of chasing players the team eventually landed -- such as Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook -- and those they ultimately didn't. "Pelinka has talked often to Doncic and Seager in the 3½ months since he acquired the young star from the Dallas Mavericks in one of the most shocking trades in NBA history." Almost immediately after landing Doncic, the Lakers went to work looking to build a winning roster. They agreed to send Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and draft compensation to the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams, a young and promising center. But the oft-injured Williams failed his physical, and there went that attempt to address the team's gaping hole at the 5 spot. Last week, L.A. appeared to plug that hole by signing Denadre Ayton in free agency. They still have some work to do in order to become a championship contender, but since Doncic is 26 years of age, they can have a relaxed sense of urgency.

Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen Thompson prediction, pick, start time for UFC on ESPN 70
Gabriel Bonfim and Stephen Thompson meet Saturday in the co-feature of UFC on ESPN 70 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 2-3 UFC main cards, 2025: 64-48-1 Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen Thompson UFC on ESPN 70 preview Bonfim (17-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) enters the biggest fight of his career thus far as a winner of back-to-back fights. Last July, he rebounded from his first career loss with a unanimous decision win over Ange Loosa. He followed that up with a second-round submission of Khoas Williams in February. ... Thompson (17-8-1 MMA, 12-8-1 UFC) is in an opposite position, coming after back-to-back losses. "Wonderboy" last won against Kevin Holland in December 2022. Since then, he was submitted by Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 296 and knocked out by Joaquin Buckley at UFC 307. Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen Thompson UFC on ESPN 70 expert pick, prediction The co-main event on ESPN features a potential crossroads fight at welterweight between Stephen Thompson and Gabriel Bonfim. Despite being a longtime Thompson fan, I can see why the betting public isn't too high on his chances against younger competition at this point in his career. On-paper mileage and age gaps aside, Thompson has shown a noted deterioration in his footwork down the stretch of fights, particularly when forced to retreat or maneuver along the fence. Although Thompson's distance management sensibilities were among the elite for a time, every exchange starts to feel like much more of a gamble in recent years. Thompson will have the bigger cage to move around in for this fight, but I'm not sure how safe that will keep him, considering that Bonfim seems to have solid level-changing takedowns both coming forward and off the counter. I wouldn't mind a "Wonderboy" upset, but the pick is Bonfim by submission in Round 2. Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen Thompson UFC on ESPN 70 odds The oddsmakers and the public are heavily favoring the younger fighter, listing Bonfim -430 and Thompson +300 via FanDuel. Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen Thompson UFC on ESPN 70 start time, how to watch As the co-main event, Bonfim and Thompson are expected to walk to the cage at approximately 11:10 p.m. ET. The fight broadcasts live on ESPN and ESPN+.
