An athlete. And the kid also knows his cheesesteaks, revealing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night he already has a local spot.

The Philadelphia 76ers draft night went much differently than anyone would have guessed a month ago.
Scroll through the gallery up top to see what the League had to say about the 2017 NBA Draft.
Frank Ntilikina saw his dream come true: He’s a top-10 pick in the National Basketball Association draft. He has missed 215 of a possible 246 games since being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 draft. “Today we take The Process to another level”.
In recent years, Wojnarowski has become well known for breaking the news of most draft picks, often minutes before the announcement is made on television. “This is a tremendous night for the Sixers and our great fans”. As the report picked up steam, his schedule was redirected. At first look, that seems expensive. Thursday, they finally pulled the trigger, and they got what can only be described as a middling package in return. Now, the Warriors have another rim protector with a ridiculous motor. It matches the third-highest rated NBA Draft on ESPN.
The Lakers and Kings will play July 10. After selecting De’Aaron Fox, a potentially elite point guard from the University of Kentucky with the fifth pick in the draft, the Kings fleeced the Trail Blazers in a trade for the 10th pick.
“There are only 71 No. 1 picks”, Jones said.
Don’t overlook the Lakers’ first-round additions of Kyle Kuzma (27th pick) and Josh Hart (30th), either, or their signing of undrafted P.J. Dozier, who’s a really interesting defensive prospect. Jackson is a ideal replacement for Rudy Gay who already announced that he was opting out of his contract. In his only season in college, Jackson averaged 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds.
It marks the fourth straight year the Blue Devils have produced a top-three pick. Butler is a superstar, a top-15 player who is excellent on both ends of the court and would fit well into any modern offense. Props to GM Vlade Divac and Kings’ owner Vivek Ranadivé for a relatively flawless draft.
White starred at Thomas Dale High School in Chesterfield County and played at Kansas, Nebraska and most recently Syracuse as a senior this past year.
Sumner, a point guard from Xavier, went 52nd and was dealt to the Indiana Pacers. “As far as the future, my goal is to be the best that ever played”. Among the undrafted was Arizona freshman Kobi Simmons, who entered the draft even though National Basketball Association scouts told him he wasn’t ready.
With the 36th overall pick, they took Jonah Bolden, a power forward out of Australia. The answer? “I’ve been going to Larry’s”, he said. I am not claiming that Markannen will be a bust.
When he arrived for his workout, Fultz says the Sixers had a table filled with Chick-fil-a sandwiches waiting for him, and he respected that “they did their research”.
The 1.93m guard became the second consecutive number one overall pick by Philadelphia, following forward Ben Simmons previous year.
The first African-American picked in the National Basketball Association draft was Duquesne University forward Chuck Cooper.
Kentucky’s De’ Aaron Fox reacts after being selected by the Sacramento Kings as the fifth pick overall during the NBA basketball draft, Thursday, June 22, 2017, in NY. Markkanen is a solid stretch-four who can really shoot it, so he’s a solid pickup. So I was like, ‘OK, cool.
In Minnesota, three-time All-Star Butler, 27, will reunite with coach Tom Thibodeau and join centre Karl-Anthony Towns, 21, to create one of the best duos in the league. The Blazers do not necessarily need Collins. I wouldn’t have made that move if I didn’t think I could use that money. They did not need another center.

But the biggest hang-up in this trade was the fact Chicago had to swap first-round picks with Minnesota to get the deal done.
