POMEROY — An otherwise languid Monday meeting of Pomeroy Council concluded with sudden resignations by several public ofﬁcials. A tabled proposal for groundhog trapping and paperwork for renewal levies were the most critical topics, until the ﬁnal minutes when three resignations were submitted in quick succession. Mayor Bryan Shank presented council with Village Administrator Joe Woodall’s letter of notice for Aug. 5. The letter stated in part “I need to focus on my full time administrator position with Middleport at this time. It has been very trying to fulﬁll the duties of both positions. I believe that the Village needs a full time administrator in order for an efﬁcient operation…It has been my pleasure serving the village for the past year.” Woodall was hired by the village of Pomeroy in early February to serve as the part-time administrator for the village while maintaining his full-time role with Middleport. As a group, council expressed both understanding and disappointment over Woodall’s departure – pleased with his work since Feb. 6 but acknowledging the toll of dual positions. “He has really done a lot in a short time here,” emphasized Shank. Mayor Shank then tendered his own resignation, which read in full “I am submitting my resignation as Mayor of Pomeroy, effective midnight July 21, 2017. Respectfully, Bryan Shank.” Speaking after the meeting, Shank mostly declined to add to his unornamented notice, though did note the laborious process of again seeking a new See MEETING | 5 Medical issue likely cause of morning crash Staff Report RACINE — Emergency personnel were called to a crash on Forest Run Road, Racine, early Tuesday morning in which the driver of the vehicle was found deceased.

Meigs Historical Society, Meigs Garden Club and Ohio Valley Coin Collectors ﬁelded promoting their organizations. A Farmers Market full of local produce rounded out the tents. A group of young students received a performance and beginning instruction from past Ohio State Harmonica champions. Eastern High School cheerleaders manned a dunking machine.

The panel of pie judges comprised a trifecta of Meigs elected ofﬁcials — Commissioner Randy Smith, Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley, and Sheriff Keith Wood. The judges feigned martyrdom, declaring they would they would “grudgingly eat all this pie, and take one for the team.” “Everything looks really nice,” Smith said, referring to both the festivities…and the pies. “There is so much going on here, what a great way to celebrate our history and our heritage.” “This was so much fun,” said Betsy Vendors at the Meigs Heritage Festival included many types of handmade items, fresh produce and many crafts.

Wadsworth ofﬁcials have deemed four condominiums and a nearby house to be unsafe and posted notices instructing the owners to vacate. Homeowners have reported cracks in their ceilings and collapsed walls. A spokesman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources tells WEWS-TV the ofﬁcial cause has not been determined, but he believes the damage is due to an abandoned mine shaft that collapsed nearly 85 feet below the ground. Wadsworth Director of Public Service Robert Patrick says there are many mines in the city, but this is the ﬁrst time something like this has occurred. Patrick says a coal mine subsidence study was done before construction began at the condominium development.

The 52-year-old O’Donnell has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, sexual battery and gross sexual imposition of a girl younger than 13.

Video games might also help explain a study last month from Johns Hopkins University researchers who said today’s 19-year-old is as sedentary as a 60-year-old. Inactive lifestyles, obesity and the opioid epidemic have combined to end a streak of life expectancy increases. In 2015, the number dropped for the ﬁrst time in two decades — from 78.9 to 78.8. Social media, phones, video games and TV are keeping people from being on their feet, from making friends and from being productive. The economists found that American men 21 to 30 were working 203 fewer hours a year than the same age group did in 2000. Part of that difference is because gaming and social isolation prevent some men from even entering the workforce. Some men, researchers believe, limit the amount of time they work so they can play games. All of this matters. Inactive lifestyles and poor diets are directly linked to increasing obesity rates, which correlate with the decline in life expectancy. Choosing social isolation or gaming over a fulﬁlling job or friendship deprives a person of support systems that could help when dealing with an addiction. And decreased productivity and unemployment prevent the economy from reaching peak efﬁciency, thereby hurting others who are fully engaged in the workforce. Americans need to get back to moving their bodies. TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s Highlight in History: On July 19, 1961, TWA became the ﬁrst airline to begin showing in-ﬂight movies on a regular basis as it presented “By Love Possessed” to ﬁrstclass passengers on a ﬂight from New York to Los Angeles. On this date: In 1553, King Henry VIII’s daughter Mary was proclaimed Queen of England after pretender Lady Jane Grey was deposed. In 1848, a pioneering women’s rights convention convened in Seneca Falls, New York. In 1903, the ﬁrst Tour de France was won by Maurice Garin. In 1941, Britain launched its “V for Victory” campaign during World War II. In 1944, the Democratic national convention convened in Chicago with the nomination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt considered a certainty. In 1952, the Summer Olympics opened in Helsinki, Finland. In 1967, the movie “Up the Down Staircase,” an adaptation of the Bel Kaufman novel starring Sandy Dennis as an idealistic schoolteacher, opened in Los Angeles. In 1979, the Nicaraguan capital of Managua fell to Sandinista guerrillas, two days after President Anastasio Somoza ﬂed the country. In 1980, the Moscow Summer Olympics began, minus dozens of nations that were boycotting the games because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. In 1989, 111 people were killed when United Air Lines Flight 232, a DC-10 which suffered the uncontained failure of its tail engine and the loss of hydraulic systems, crashed while making an emergency landing at Sioux City, Iowa; 185 other people survived. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush joined former presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald R. Ford and Richard M. Nixon at ceremonies dedicating the Nixon Library and Birthplace (since redesignated the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum) in Yorba Linda, California. In 1992, anti-Maﬁa prosecutor Paolo Borsellino was killed along with ﬁve members of his security detail in a car bombing in Palermo, Sicily. Ten years ago: A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by former CIA operative Valerie Plame, who was demanding money from Bush administration ofﬁcials she blamed for leaking her agency identity. Taliban gunmen abducted 23 South Koreans who worked at an aid organization in Kandahar, Afghanistan. (Two hostages were shot to death; the rest were later freed.) “Mad Men,” a cable TV series about a New York advertising agency, premiered on AMC. Five years ago: A controversy pitting gay rights against religious freedom began as a cake shop owner in Lakewood, Colorado, refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple; the case has since reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear arguments. Omar Suleiman, 76, Egypt’s former spy chief, died in Cleveland, Ohio. Sylvia Woods, 86, founder of the famed soul food restaurant in New York’s Harlem district that carries her name, died in Mount Vernon, New York. THEIR VIEW Dream messages no malarkey I slammed on the brakes. The bird jumped onto the hood of my car and staggered a bit before collapsing. “It’s hurt,” I wailed as it rose onto its tall legs, spread its massive pink feathers and took ﬂight, appearing semi-translucent, until it plopped onto the ground and hardened like a statue. Vivid dreams like this doused my slumber ever since I can remember— ones so real I could feel the wind grazing my face, smell the smoke rolling from the ﬁre. Dreams of hugging my long deceased grandmother, her soft cheek pressed to mine. Dreams of ﬂying like the birds sailing smoothly across the sky. Dreams of lying in a ﬁeld and moving the stars with a single swish of my ﬁnger. These types of dreams stick with us, often throughout the day or even years.

This leads me to the conclusion that the fact that we do require sleep means dreams must be crucial too. I can’t explain how we glean insights from the altered state of our being during dream time, but I do believe the messages I receive help me learn lessons I may miss during my waking hours—even messages from a ﬂamingo who ﬂies through my dream and lands on my car to remind me to clear out what no longer serves me and to welcome the bright, new possibilities that will transform my wishes into the real dream I experience in the physical.

THEIR VIEW Fighting to make sure that little guy gets crushed The following editorial appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Tuesday, July 18: The last thing Republicans on Capitol Hill apparently want the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to do is actually protect ﬁnancial consumers. That would explain the angry GOP reaction whenever the bureau announces new rules, such as one this week to stop big ﬁnancial institutions from imposing mandatory arbitration agreements on consumers who have legal grievances. The bureau is responding to thousands of nightmarish reports about the many ways banks, lenders and credit card companies cheat consumers and then use legal trickery to avoid being held accountable in court. Banks have issued credit cards to customers without their consent. Others have signed clients up for loans or accounts that they didn’t ask for, on terms they never agreed to. Still others have imposed fees, boosted interest rates on loans or modiﬁed mortgage terms without notice or consent. When customers complained, they were frequently told to read the ﬁne print of their agreements, which requires all disputes to be resolved through arbitration. The arbitration process can be expensive for individuals, who must hire their own lawyers to confront a corporate behemoth. Arbitration is often unfair and designed to work to corporations’ advantage, which is the whole reason businesses increasingly require it. Arbitration agreements can speciﬁcally prohibit customers from banding together and ﬁling class-action lawsuits. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, established in the wake of the 2007-2008 ﬁnancial meltdown, now says class-action lawsuits may go forward anyway. This is only fair. If banks and other credit providers abuse customers as a group, those harmed should be able to ﬁght back as a group. Had the CFPB not taken its action, banks and credit providers would be able to continue abusing and bullying consumers with impunity. Key House Republicans believe, however, that it’s the CFPB, not banks and credit companies, that needs restraining. “The rule should be thoroughly rejected by Congress,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, referring to the new arbitration policy. Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., has waged political warfare against CFPB director Richard Cordray and his bureau’s independent investigatory and regulatory authority. “Now, more than ever, we have a new obligation to examine the checks and balances of our federal government and ensure that our Constitution is reﬂected by it. … Nothing embodies the Washington-knowsbest mindset more than the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,” Wagner stated in March. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-Mo., has confronted Cordray on proposed rules to tighten standards that would protect borrowers from predatory practices by payday lenders. Exactly whom they’re ﬁghting for isn’t quite clear, but it’s sure not consumers victimized by ﬁnancial corporate behemoths. All the companies want is their unfair advantage. It’s strange the lengths to which some in Congress will go to ﬁght against the little guy. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Roots CHURCH CALENDAR Meeting From page 1 village administrator.

See BRIEFS | 7 Big 12 has 3 new coaches, new media days venue FRISCO, Texas (AP) — When the Big 12 kicks off its football media days on Monday, commissioner Bob Bowlsby will be able to tout a winning record in bowl games last season and the still-growing revenue for the league’s 10 schools. Three new head coaches will take the podium at a new venue for the annual two-day midsummer gathering, which will be held about 4 1/2 months before the Big 12 plays its ﬁrst conference championship game since 2010. What the league really needs this season is to get a team into the College Football Playoff. There are still many outsiders with negative perceptions of the smallest Power Five league, which hasn’t won a national championship since Texas with Vince Young a dozen seasons ago and has had only one playoff team in the ﬁrst three years of that ﬁnal-four format. “We had a pretty good postseason despite not being in the CFP playoff. Obviously, that’s where we want to be,” said Bowlsby, who recently marked his ﬁve-year anniversary leading the league. “It’s a high-stakes game of musical chairs. There are at least ﬁve suitors and only four seats. … We know we need to be in more. It’s as simple as that.” Bowlsby still doesn’t agree with those lingering perceptions from outside the league — and says there are no questions that the Big 12 has good teams, players and coaches — but he did acknowledge feeling “a sense of urgency” in regards to the playoff. Oklahoma’s David Boren, the only one of the Big 12 presidents who has been in his position since the league’s inception two decades ago, was asked during the spring meetings the importance of the CFP when judging the league’s success. “It would be foolish to say it’s not important,” said Boren, whose Sooners made it to the playoff two years ago. TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said a league championship game provides another positive factor for the CFP selection committee to consider when determining the top four teams. The Big 12 had been the only of the Power Five leagues without a championship game last season. But it also is the only of the ﬁve leagues that plays a round-robin schedule — something that hasn’t changed, guaranteeing a rematch from the regular season the ﬁrst weekend in December. NEW COACHES After coach Bob Stoops’ sudden and surprise retirement from Oklahoma last month, 33-year-old offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley was promoted and became the youngest FBS head coach. Riley and the Sooners, the preseason favorite to win their third straight Big 12 title and record 11th overall, will participate Monday with Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Tech and TCU. Tuesday’s lineup has Texas with new coach Tom Herman, Baylor with new coach Matt Rhule, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. NEW VENUE Instead of a downtown or airport hotel like in the past, media days this year will be held on the ﬁeld at the Ford Center. That is part of The Star, the nearly year-old complex in suburban Frisco where the Dallas Cowboys have their headquarters and practice facilities. The Big 12 will hold its championship game at the NFL team’s home stadium in Arlington, Texas. GOOD NUMBERS The league was 4-2 in bowl games last season, the ﬁrst time since 2011 with a winning record in the postseason. … Big 12 schools split a record $348 million in revenue, or $34.8 million per school, for the 201617 academic year. That number will grow again next year, including a boost of up to $30 million from the championship game. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Briefs School football season will go on sale starting on Tuesday, Aug. 8 for the Gallia Academy Athletic Super Boosters.

Amid heavy crosswinds that played havoc in the ﬁnale of Tuesday’s 165-kilometer (102.5mile) Stage 16 between Le Puy-en-Velay to Romans-en-Isere, Team Sky riders tried to unsettle their opponents by setting a frenetic tempo that split the pack like a jigsaw puzzle. After relentless work from Vasil Kiryienka and Michal Kwiatkowski, only 22 riders including Froome and teammate Mikel Landa managed to stay in the reduced bunch at the front. Also among them were Fabio Aru, Romain Bardet and Rigoberto Uran, who avoided the trap. But Dan Martin lost 51 seconds after getting caught in a split in the ﬁnale. He dropped to seventh place overall, 2:03 off the pace. At some point, it looked like Bardet was going to be left behind but he was helped back in the leading group by Oliver Naesen. Australian Michael Matthews won the stage in a sprint to the line. With the race now in money time, with stages set to decide the ﬁnal podium, Froome went straight to the point with his aggressive racing. He appears in great shape and has the best team surrounding him in his bid to win a fourth Tour title. Jeff Pachoud via AP Britain’s Chris Froome, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, grimaces Sunday with France’s Romain Bardet, right, and Colombia’s Rigoberto Uran, left, during the fifteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 189.5 kilometers (117.8 miles) with start in Laissac-Severac l’Eglise and finish in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. “Everyone knew it was going to split at some point,” said Froome. “For us it was more about just being on the right side of it. Knowing it was going to kick off on that open section in the last 20 kilometers to go, the guys committed to that and we saw the gaps opening out straight away.” Froome, the defending champion, has an 18-second overall lead over Aru, with Romain Bardet 23 seconds back in third place. Colombian Rigoberto Uran completes the leading quartet, 29 seconds off the pace. Landa, who has been impressive since the start of the Tour despite dedicating himself to Froome, moved back to ﬁfth overall, 1 minute, 17 seconds back. “Myself and Mikel Landa are feeling great,” said Froome. “The next two days are the biggest consecutive days in this year’s Tour de France. And the goal of my preparation for the Tour de France was to head into the third week feel- ing the way I’m feeling now.” The battle for the yellow jersey will resume on Wednesday during the ﬁrst of two Alpine stages in high altitude. It will lead riders to the ski station of Serre Chevalier through a grueling 183-kilometer trek featuring four climbs, including a nearly 12-kilometer ascent to the Col du Galibier, one of the Tour’s most fearsome and famed climbs. Next will be the daunting Stage 18 to the Col d’Izoard , which features a ﬁnal 14.1-kilometer ascent to the top of the mountain, at an altitude of 2,360 meters. “I’m looking forward to the Alps,” Froome said. Three days after his victory in Rodez, Matthews reduced the gap with green jersey holder Marcel Kittel to 29 points in the best sprinter’s classiﬁcation with his second stage win. He made the most of a slightly uphill section 500 meters from the line and accelerated after Greg Van Avermaet launched the sprint. 6th Annual John Gray Memorial 5K Eastern golf scramble Gallia Academy Athletics 5K run Gallia Academy football reserve seats WKU tenure as AD.

Michael Vick: Kaepernick needs a haircut for job search LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Vick has some advice for Colin Kaepernick if he wants another shot in the NFL: Get a haircut. During an appearance Monday on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself,” Vick said the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback needs to lose his Afro or cornrows for a “clean-cut” style in order to get a job. The former Falcons and Eagles quarterback said he was speaking from personal experience. Vick was suspended for two seasons beginning in 2007 after pleading guilty to charges in a dog ﬁghting investigation. Kaepernick parted ways with the 49ers in March and hasn’t been signed by another team. His decision to kneel during the national anthem last season to protest police shootings of black people became a topic of national conversation.

All set to return Tuesday night, he stressed he did not inject himself with Nandrolone but understands he was “careless” while spending last offseason in his native Dominican Republic. “That’s something I regret, not being careful enough,” Marte said through translator Mike Gonzalez on Monday in the ﬁnal hours before his forced half-season sabbatical ends. The 28-year-old, a two-time Gold Glove winner and one-time All-Star, apologized to his teammates in the minutes after his suspension was handed down on April 18. He offered a broader one to the organization and the fan base, well aware his misstep could follow him for the remainder of his career. Mickelson to play British Open with no drivers SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — Royal Birkdale and Torrey Pines would seem to have nothing in common except that Phil Mickelson is playing major championships on both without a driver in his bag. Mickelson carried only the 3-wood with him during his practice round Tuesday at the British Open, and he plans to keep it that way. “We won’t be playing in this wind,” Mickelson said as he ﬁnished up his round with a light blowing toward the Irish Sea. “And when we get the normal wind, there really isn’t a driver for me until we get to 15. And then that brings the bunkers into play.” Mickelson, who once had two drivers in his bag at the Masters, didn’t hit a driver in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He wasn’t much of a factor that week and ﬁnished ﬁve shots out of the playoff that Tiger Woods won over Rocco Mediate. Mickelson instead has four wedges, including a 64-degree sand wedge that he can use for ﬂop shots off tight lies on a links course. He also has two 3-irons, one of them with the loft tweaked to make a strong, driving club. The 3-wood is the same club he had when he won the British Open at Muirﬁeld in 2013, his last victory. “It’s a much easier club for me to hit low,” Mickelson said on Golf Channel. “So even into the wind, I hit it every bit as far as I hit a driver.” TIGER FALLING: Tiger Woods is out of golf for the rest of the season as he recovers from a fourth back surgery, and that means he ﬁnally is out of the top 1,000 players listed in the Ofﬁcial World Golf Ranking. Woods is at No. 1,005 in the world this week, one spot ahead of Henric Sturehed of Sweden. That’s no surprise. In the two-year counting period, Woods has only seven tournaments on his record and he earned ranking points at just three of them — a tie for 18th in the Greenbrier in 2015, a tie for 10th in the Wyndham Classic that same year and his 15th-place ﬁnish at the no-cut Hero World Challenge in December. Woods was at No. 1 for 683 weeks, twice as long as anyone else in the history of the ranking that dates to 1986. TAKING IT IN: Bill Haas has played as much links golf as anyone in this part of England. He even ﬁnally got around to playing Royal Birkdale. Haas is among those players who love seeing other courses when they come to the British Open. When it was played at Royal Liverpool in 2014, Jason Dufner went over to play Royal Birkdale on the weekend. Brad Faxon used to ﬁnd smaller links courses to play after a practice round at the championship course. Haas brought over his brother-in-law and two friends. They played Royal Liverpool on Friday, Royal Lytham & St. Annes on Saturday and Hillside on Sunday. And then it was time to get to work, so he made his way to Royal Birkdale. “I did the same trip for Lytham in 2012,” he said. “I played Liverpool, here and West Lancashire, so I’ve seen the course. I feel like I’m getting the same practice in, just not at the tournament course. But I’ve got Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to see the course and know the course.” Most surprising to Haas at Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham was seeing the course without the grandstands and tented villages that are in place for the Open. “Liverpool was the one that was the most shocking without the grandstand surrounding the 18th (the 16th green during normal play). You’re amazed at how small the space is and how they make it work,” he said. “And Lytham, there’s gorse way right on 18. I didn’t remember that being in play. When you hit it right, I think you’re in the grandstands. But it was fun to see.” SPIETH RETURNS: Jordan Spieth was still in college in 2012 when the British Open was at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and this is ﬁrst time at Royal Birkdale. But he’s no stranger to the area. It’s where Spieth got his ﬁrst taste of links golf. He played in the Junior British Open in 2008, and he ﬁnished ﬁrst — at least among the boys. The overall winner that week was Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand, playing from a forward set of tees. Top of draft board shines at Summer League By Jon Krawczynski Associated Press The depth and quality of the 2017 NBA draft 60728807 MLB Daily Sentinel had teams tanking at the end of the regular season in hopes of vaulting into the top three picks. With the huge caveat being that it was only summer league action, those at the top of the draft made quite a ﬁrst impression. Summer league play ended on Monday night after the Los Angeles Lakers beat Portland in the Las Vegas league championship game. Over leagues played in Orlando, Salt Lake City and Vegas, many of the top 10 picks gave their teams plenty to feel good about before heading into the league’s quiet period for the next two months. No. 2 pick Lonzo Ball owned Vegas with a pair of triple-doubles and was named Vegas MVP. Top pick Markelle Fultz showed off his wide array of scoring tricks in Utah before sitting out much of Vegas with an ankle injury and No. 3 pick Jayson Tatum of Boston was drawing comparisons to Paul Pierce while dominating both in Utah and Nevada. The competition these rookies will face will increase exponentially when training camps open in October. And there is a long list of summer league standouts — Nikoloz Tskitishvili, anyone? — who never amounted to anything in the NBA. But for struggling franchises like the Lakers, Sixers, Suns and Kings, seeing some real promise from their youngsters the ﬁrst time they step on the court is encouraging. “Lonzo deﬁnitely gave the team a lot of conﬁdence as this thing went along,” Lakers coach Luke Walton said. “The way he plays, he’s always got his poise about him, just an incredible basketball player and with the unselﬁsh nature he plays the game, it just becomes contagious and I think other guys started picking up and playing off of that.” Winning a summer league title certainly doesn’t mean the suffering of the last four years is over for the Lakers. Far from it. The real test comes in a couple of months. But for several franchises that are in the business of selling hope right now, business is good. Here are some other takeaways from summer league action: VEGAS TITLE GAME: Kyle Kuzma had 30 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Lakers to a 110-98 victory over the Trail Blazers. Kuzma hit 6 of 10 3-pointers and Matt Thomas scored 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting and 5 for 5 on 3s to help the Lakers overcome the loss of Ball, who sat out with a calf injury. Caleb Swanigan had 25 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and Jake Layman had 21 points and seven boards for Portland. PACKED HOUSE: Buoyed by Ball and the Lakers, nearly 128,000 fans attended the Vegas Summer League this year. What started as a gathering of a few teams 13 years ago has turned into a full-ﬂedged event under the guidance of coaching agent Warren LeGarie and Albert Hall. Sponsors are lining up to get in on the action, fans crowd the concourses looking for autographs of the next big things and established stars like LeBron James, Isaiah Thomas and John Wall sit courtside to watch the games. ESPN and NBATV televise the games and over 500 media credentials were given out for the Las Vegas site alone. “I told Mayor Goodman that we should get a commission for the NFL and the NHL following in our footsteps,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said last week. “We were here when some leagues weren’t even taking advertising in Las Vegas, and we’re proud to be here. I feel our Summer League has become a ﬁxture in Las Vegas, part of the permanent summer calendar.” OTHER STANDOUTS: Dennis Smith Jr., the No. 9 pick by Dallas, may have been the best player in Las Vegas, averaging 17.3 points and 4.2 assists per game for the Mavericks and Utah’s Donovan Mitchell averaged 28 points per game in just two games for the Jazz. Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox, the ﬁfth overall pick out of Kentucky, displayed his athleticism and defensive instincts for the Kings. Josh Jackson, the No. 4 overall pick by Phoenix, averaged 17.4 points and 9.2 rebounds in Vegas and played with a competitive ﬁre that intrigued many scouts leading up to the draft. Swanigan was consistent throughout and San Antonio’s Bryn Forbes had a pair of 35-point games to give the Spurs another promising young talent in the pipeline as they wait to hear from Manu Ginobili on his future. FLIP SIDE: Just as we shouldn’t read too much into the successes of summer league, so to should the struggles be taken with a grain of salt. But Lauri Markkanen, the Bulls’ No. 7 overall pick who came over in the draft-night trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota, shot just 24 percent (6 for 25 on 3-pointers) in Las Vegas, not a great sign for a 7-footer billed as the best shooter in the draft. Sacramento’s Buddy Hield, the centerpiece of the trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans in February, shot just 35 percent in three games in Las Vegas, a mark was aided by a binge of six 3s in his ﬁnal game against the Lakers. Not what you want to see from a second-year player who will turn 24 in December. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
