  All Under 25 Team

Defensive end: Danielle HunterMinnesota Vikings
Hunter recorded 12.5 sacks and, according to Sam Monson at Pro Football Focus, 55 total hurries last season. The amazing deal with Hunter is that he was a rookie at 20 years old, so despite having already played two years in the league, he will turn all of 23 in October. You know what I was doing at 23? Driving a teal Ford Probe GT. Good grief.
Book him for this list again next year...

To count down the days until Vikings rookies, quarterbacks and select veterans report to Mankato on July 23, we will reveal our ranking of the 17 most important Vikings players heading into the 2017 season. Look for the next player on our list every weekday morning at Access Vikings.
This list, created by Matt Vensel and Andrew Krammer, is not a ranking of the best players on the team, though sheer talent is obviously an essential factor. It is a ranking of the players whose upcoming season will have the biggest impact on the franchise, whether it’s in 2017 or beyond.
Coming in at No. 16 on our list is center/guard Pat Elflein.
—————
Desperate times finally called for a change in draft philosophy in 2017.
For the first time since 2012, when they drafted left tackle Matt Kalil in the top five, the Vikings this spring used a pick in the first three rounds of a draft on an offensive lineman. That would be Pat Elflein, whom they coveted so much that they traded up in the third round to secure him.
The Vikings, who had one of the NFL’s worst offensive lines last season and spent big bucks on offensive tackles Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers this winter, have not just handed Elflein a starting spot. But the former Ohio State standout figures to seize one at some point this season.
Elflein was an all-conference selection at guard his sophomore and junior years before the Buckeyes moved him to center in 2016. Not only would he earn all-conference honors again, the 6-foot-3, 303-pounder also took home the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top center.

  11 Players Who Would Make Great Coaches
Posted by: JustinTime18™ - 07-01-2017, 09:35 AM - Forum: The Longship - No Replies

Terence Newman, cornerback, Minnesota Vikings
Though Newman is still making an impact as a player, he's also serving as sort of an on-field defensive backs coach for the Vikings. Thanks to his lengthy resume as a player (this will be his 15th NFL season), Newman will have the respect of his charges if and when he lands a coaching job. He's a smart, hard-working leader who knows football from top to bottom. When someone's been in the NFL as long as Newman has, nothing comes as a surprise. He also had to fight to stay in it this long, and that experience no doubt taught him valuable lessons he could apply to a coaching gig.

  OT: Adam Silver to demote entire Eastern Conference to D-League...

For Oladipo and something called Domantis Sabonis

As for the Celtics, seems they never had a chance:

"Meanwhile, a source told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that the Celtics offered three first-round picks -- they did not include the Brooklyn Nets' pick in 2018 or the Los Angeles Lakers/Sacramento Kings pick -- and two starters (Jae Crowder being one) for George on draft night but were rejected."

Apparently the Pacers are such cowards that they'd rather take a lesser deal and hurt their own team than see George have a legit chance at a Finals.  IMHO it was a similar scenario with the Bulls and Jimmy Butler: either Boston or Cleveland must have offered more than Dunn, an injured LaVine and Lauri Markinnen but the Bulls said to Butler, "If we can't win, we'll make sure you can't for at least two years either".

Edit: With the Wolves now signing Teague away from the Pacers, that team is F'd.
