He&#8217;s said to be a generational talent. I suspect there will be teams in the bottom half of the NBA who tank hard this season to try and get a chance at him in the 2023 NBA draft.<\/p>\n<p>Today is Columbus Day in the U.S. and Thanksgiving Day in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The Flying Scrub Jays play <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/458967509339847\">Music Monday<\/a> from 6 to 8 tonight at Cordelia&#8217;s Market.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;ll do it for today.
