Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr. staying motivated against league’s top bigs

Published Sat, 20 Apr 2024 04:49:01 GMT

Before the season even started, an Orlando Magic assistant coach gave Wendell Carter Jr. a piece of motivation that played a factor in Saturday’s 126-114 overtime home win over the Miami Heat.Carter told the Orlando Sentinel that Randy Gregory, Magic assistant offensive/video coordinator, had a screenshot of an Aug. 29 tweet from “NBACentral” that listed HoopsHype.com’s preseason top-10 centers entering the season taped inside Carter’s locker at Amway Center.Why did Gregory do this?Because Carter’s name wasn’t present, which constantly motivates Carter every time he goes to his locker.“That’s what drives me every day,” Carter told the Sentinel earlier in the season while sitting next to his locker, “until they put my [name] on there.”“[Helps] me stay motivated. It’s something small to keep me going every day. Give me a reason to keep going.”Carter’s name wasn’t listed at all on Hoop...

Ravens free agency guide: Prepare for limited action as focus remains on QB Lamar Jackson and his potential suitors

Published Sat, 20 Apr 2024 04:49:01 GMT

The Ravens are headed for perhaps the most unusual free agent shopping period in their history.Usually, fans obsess over which players general manager Eric DeCosta might target to fortify weak areas on the team’s roster, with wide receiver, cornerback and left guard topping the list for 2023. But such questions will be afterthoughts compared with the ongoing intrigue around quarterback Lamar Jackson, who will be free to sign an offer sheet with another team starting Wednesday.Will such an offer materialize? Would the Ravens match it within five days and finally lock in their most important player? Or will a resolution remain elusive, creating uncertainty around every other move DeCosta would like to make?The Ravens cannot, however, afford to treat Jackson’s contract as the only issue at hand. They still have to build a playoff-caliber team for next season, and they will have to do it with a budget pinched by the $32.4 million allotted to Jackson under the nonexclusive fr...
