Simone: Paul George and Mike Conley Jr. said what was expected (with some sprinkles of intrigue)
Introductory press conferences are always tough. By and large, there’s little to glean about a player from their first time speaking to reporters in a new city. It may reveal a bit about their personality or mindset heading into the season, but beyond that, it’s pretty cookie-cutter.

We'll never know how things would have played out if Drew Lock hadn't had to replace Sam Darnold, but the result was largely the same as the Super Bowl: the defense played well enough to win; the offense did not.
Haggerty: Hagens puts on a big show in B's rookie camp
It was pretty clear that 19-year-old James Hagens understood the assignment in Buffalo at the Prospect Showcase over the last few days and then proceeded to go out and show exactly what the Bruins wanted him to show.
Giardi: With a bigger opportunity, Williams needs to shine; plus, Jones reunites with Vrabel
I’ll say this for Kyle Williams: the man doesn’t lack confidence. When asked what he brings to the table beyond the obvious - speed - he smiled and gave us this gem:

Period.
