And mature sharp shooter Buddy Hield will not yield on his ability to not down the 3 at this level as he did prolifically at Oklahoma.  The likes of Sabonis, Prince, Malik Beasley, Bembry, Check Diallo, Tyer Ulis, Hernangomez, Diamond Stone, Niang, Gbinije, Kay Felder, Richardson, Jackson and undrafted Ader Nader will make headlines.  But my Rookie of the Year choice is the Nuggets Jamal Murray , who is ready to explode as a dynamic scoreline who has the ability to put the ball in the net at all 3 levels, catch and shoot, and create his own ...

Take it back a decade ago with Lil Jon in the middle of his terrific rise. As a main part of the Atlanta snap movement of 2006, "Snap Yo Fingers" is still a party classic right now.

Before Solange got a list of random new fans this week, take it back eight years ago to when she had her last real notable music release.

So your second Flashback Friday choice this week, it's Solange with "I Decided" from back in 2008. More The Whole Delivery on the way, just stay tuned.
