Warriors mock draft roundup: Golden State eying Mexican prospect

Basketball experts are pinning down their mock selections over a month away from the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23-24.

This draft class anticipates having among the best crop of talent to enter the league with players such as AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson and Darryn Peterson.

TheGolden State Warriorshave to decide whether to will draft a prospect or trade their No. 11 pick.

Despite being heavy buyers in the trade market, the consensus is that Golden State will retain their pick and lean into scouting for the right piece. Head coach Steve Kerr looks forward to that selection and believes developing that pick will be a "huge factor" in their 2026-27 season.

"I think we're in a different place now. Right, there's no question. And I've talked to Mike (Dunleavy, the Warriors GM), I mean, I don't know the draft, but he feels really strongly that we're going to get a good player. It could be a 19 year old, it could be someone older,"Kerr told reporters.

The Warriors have been linked to a number of players, such as Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg, Arizona guard Brayden Burries and Michigan center Aday Mara.

USA TODAY Sports' Bryan Kalbroskypredicts Karim López going to the Warriors as the first-ever Mexican-born NBA draft selection. Kalbrosky described Lopez as "physically gifted, athletic, and universally seen as the top prospect from this class currently playing overseas."

"He exploded for 32 points (11-of-13 FG) with eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal against Melbourne on Jan. 30. Despite his age, he played a huge role for his team defensively for a team that won the NBL Ignite Cup. López measured well, weighing just shy of 222 pounds and 38-inch max vertical," Kalbrosky wrote.

Whoever is brought in, Kerr emphasized the Warriors' commitment to that players' development.

"It's obvious where we are with the injuries toMoses (Moody) andJimmy (Butler), you look at our depth on the wings, that guy has to play, and he's got to earn it, you know, but we're committed to absolutely, you know, the development of our young players," Kerr said. "(We're) trying to do this thing in a way that allows for success down the road. Down the road meaning the end of next season and beyond, and we're excited about that."

Here are mock draft predictions from sports experts, specifically for theGolden State Warriors:

All the Details on Pippa Middleton's Lace Wedding Dress

Pippa Middleton married James Matthews on May 20, 2017

NEED TO KNOW

• She wore a custom lace wedding dress by British designer Giles Deacon

• Pippa's wedding look had a few similarities to her older sister Kate's Sarah Burton bridal gown

Pippa Middletonbecame theworld’s most famous bridesmaidafter her sisterKate Middleton’s 2011 nuptials, but it was her ownwedding dressin which she truly shone.

On May 20, 2017, Pippa walked down the aisle tomarryhusband James Matthewsin a bespoke silk cotton lace gown with a corseted bodice, cap sleeves, a high neckline and a heart-shaped keyhole back designed by Giles Deacon.

Pippa topped the look off with a Stephen Jones veil and a pair of ivory-and-pearl Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Ahead, everything to know about Pippa Middleton's wedding dress, including the unexpected accessory she recycled from her sister's royal wedding.

She chose a British designer

Pippa paid homage to her British roots by walking down the aisle in a stunning creation byBritish designer Giles Deacon. He launched his own label, GILES, in 2003 and earned a British Fashion Designer of the Year award in 2006.

Prior to designing Pippa’s 2017 gown, Deacon’s made his sartorial mark at the 2012 London Olympics, whenVictoria Beckhamperformed with the Spice Girls in his custom minidress with a dramatic train, and at the 2013 Met Gala, for whichSarah Jessica Parkersported one of his floral garments for the evening’s"PUNK: Chaos to Couture” theme.

Deacon expressed his delight at working on his most famous commission, sayingin a statement, "I was thrilled to work with Pippa on her dress.”

“She has a great eye,” he later toldBusiness of Fashionof Pippa, adding, “She knew whatshewanted.”

Pippa's dress featured hand-embroidered pearls and hidden seams

While Pippa’s gown appeared to have completely seamless stitching, Deacon toldBusiness of Fashionthere was actually a lot of behind-the-scenes work that went into hiding them — which is exactly what he was going for.

“I wanted that ‘’How-was-that-done?’ factor,” he told the publication.

As for how he accomplished the effect, Deacon revealed that Pippa’s silk cotton lace was “all hand-pieced.” Said Deacon: “[That’s] why you don’t actually see a seam.”

The designer’s team also hand-embroidered pearls along the neck, bodice and corset to emphasize its smooth lines.

Her dress was inspired in part by a 1960s movie

Deacon cited a scene in a 1963 Luchino Visconti film calledThe Leopardas inspiration for Pippa’s gown in a May 2017 interview withBusiness of Fashion.

“I always loved the dancing scenes inThe Leopard,” he said. “I know they were all hoop crinolines in the film, but there’s something gorgeous about having that great movement, with the skirt spinning round, keeping its shape.”

Pippa’s dress followed suit, with a tulle train at the back of the skirt that the designer said enabled it to float and pleats at the front that allowed it to move more freely. “There’s incredible movement,” Deacon explained to the publication.

The gown had similar elements to Kate’s

Pippa’s ivory wedding gown featured several elements that were similar to the ivorySarah Burton-designed dress Kate wore on her big day.

Both sisters chose a corseted bodice with a lace overlay, though their necklines differed quite a bit: Kate’s featured a deep, plunging V, while Pippa’s more modest mockneck was reminiscent ofGrace Kelly’s bridal look

The shape of their skirts was also nearly identical, with both Kate and Pippa opting for pleated A-line silhouettes.

Last but not least, both women covered their hair with long, intricate veils, though Kate’s was much longer than her younger sister’s, as was her gown, which featured a sprawling9-foot train.

Pippa previously wore her “something old” at Kate's royal wedding

If Pippa’s wedding earrings looked familiar, it’s because the British socialite wore them six years prior for theroyal wedding, effectively serving as her “something old.”

Commissioned from British jeweler Robinson Pelham by her mother and father for Kate’s nuptials, they featured a pear-cut diamond drop and a floral motif.

She wore a bespoke diamond headpiece

Robinson Pelham was also responsible for the understated tiara the bride wore atop her head.

Dubbed the Maidenhair Fern tiara, it was crafted with 18-karat white gold and diamonds, per company cofounder Zoe Benyon, who spoke toVogueabout the headpiece.

“It’s all about balance,” Benyon told the outlet in 2017. “You do not want the dress and tiara to fight, so one has to take a back seat.

Benyon also revealed that the tiara was tailored to Pippa’s face shape. As she explained: “Tiaras are like sunglasses; not every one suits every shape of face.”

Miles Teller Says Viral 2015 Interview Where He Was Called 'a Dick' Felt Like 'a Violation'

Miles Teller was asked in a new interview about “bad press” he endured earlier in his screen career

NEED TO KNOW

• The Michael star brought up a 2015 Esquire profile in which he was repeatedly called a “dick”

• “That was so mishandled,” Teller said of the viral piece, which “felt like such a violation of what actually transpired”

Miles Tellercame under some criticism in 2015.

In a new interview withIndieWire, Teller, 39, addressed an oldEsquireprofileabout the then-rising star, which concluded he was "kind of a dick.” Asked about having "to counteract some bad press" throughout his career, theMichaelstar brought up the old profile.

“That was so mishandled. The reason why I have not done profiles is because I said, ‘Wow, if I'm not doing this interview on camera, this person can misquote things or put things out of order or say things that didn't happen,' ” the actor said.

TheEsquirepiece “felt like such a violation of what actually transpired,” added Teller. “I told my team, ‘Guys, I don't think I'm doing this again, because I'm reading this and this doesn't sound like me to me.' ”

He continued, “It's unfortunate that being a good person, that doesn't sell. People want to click on the negativity.”

Ultimately, said Teller, “how you treat people truly, that's what matters… The actors, the directors, the crew, the producers, you can't hide who you are when you're on set.”

Reflecting on the early phase of his career, after breaking out with 2010'sRabbit Holeand 2014'sWhiplash, Teller noted that most actors are “just hoping to get a role.”

“I used to be more critical of work other people were doing, because you get thrown into this rat race when you're first starting out,” he said of that time. “As I've gotten older, I appreciate and have respect for longevity, if you can hang around. I always wanted to contribute.”

UK finance ministry presses supermarkets to cap food prices, sources say

(Corrects reference to finance ministry from foreign ministry in paragraph 6)

LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) - Britain's finance ministry is pressuring major supermarket groups to introduce voluntary ‌price caps on key products, such as eggs, bread and milk, in ‌return for easing some regulations, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

Confirming a Financial Times report ​that the ministry had proposed relaxing some new packaging rules and possibly delaying changes to rules around healthy food in exchange for price caps, the people said the grocers had reacted with anger and were pushing back.

The proposals come as Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government seeks ‌to address an ongoing cost ⁠of living crisis and follow a similar move by the Scottish National Party, which holds power in Scotland's devolved parliament.

"If this happened, ⁠nobody would invest in the UK," one of the people said.

"If you want food price inflation to decline, you need to start looking at the cost of regulation on business," they ​said, highlighting ​the government's moves to raise employer taxes, the ​national minimum wage, introduce new packaging ‌levies and propose the reformulation of thousands of food lines.

A spokesperson for the British finance ministry said: "The chancellor (Rachel Reeves) has been clear we want to do more to help keep costs down for families, and will set out more detail in due course."

British grocery inflation was 3.8% in the four weeks to April 19, according to researcher Worldpanel by ‌Numerator.

The Bank of England said that businesses it ​had spoken to last month expected food price inflation ​to reach 6% to 7% later ​this year, reflecting the economic fallout from the Iran war.

The British ‌Retail Consortium, which represents Britain's major supermarket ​groups, including market leader ​Tesco and Sainsbury's, said it opposed price caps.

"Rather than introduce 1970s-style price controls and trying to force retailers to sell goods at a loss, the Government ​must focus on how it ‌will reduce the public policy costs which are pushing up food prices ​in the first place," BRC CEO Helen Dickinson said.

Ebola death toll in Congo rises to 131 as concern mounts

Latest on American who contracted Ebola as outbreak continues in Congo, Uganda 02:08

The death toll from theEbola outbreakin the Democratic Republic of the Congo has risen to 131 from 513 suspected cases, health minister Samuel Roger Kamba said Tuesday. There has also been one death in neighboring Uganda, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

The head of the World Health Organization said he was "deeply concerned" about the outbreak.

"Early on Sunday, I declared a public health emergency of international concern," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the World Health Assembly in Geneva. "I did not do this lightly. ... I'm deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the epidemic."

One American doctor working with an aid group in Congohas tested positive, and several other Americans are believed to havebeen exposed.

Six tons of supplies to fight Ebola were to arrive in the Congo on Tuesday, said Anne Ancia, WHO's representative in the Congo's Ituri province. "These include personal protective equipment for frontline health workers (and) samples," she said, according to the Reuters news agency.

The outbreak is of particular concern to global health officials in part because the virus detected is a less common strain.

The virus behind this outbreak is the Bundibugyo virus, health officials have confirmed. This is only the third known outbreak of this virus, and there are no vaccines or treatments.

Ebola vaccine targets Zaire strain

Ebola disease is caused by orthoebolaviruses, of which there are multiple species.

Three of the viruses have been known to cause large Ebola disease outbreaks, according tothe WHO. They are Ebola (or Zaire) virus, which has been the most common; Sudan virus; and Bundibugyo virus, the one identified in this outbreak.

The only approved vaccine and treatments are for the Zaire strain. Because each virus species has different genetic material, they need different vaccines.

There are some other vaccines in development, but nothing that targets Bundibugyo virus is close to being ready for use, saidDr. Céline Gounder, a CBS News medical correspondent and infectious diseases specialist who deployed in the response to a past Ebola outbreak.

2 previous Bundibugyo outbreaks

Before this outbreak, there were two known outbreaks caused by the Bundibugyo virus, and both were smaller than the current one.

The first discovery of the Bundibugyo strain occurred in the Bundibugyo District in Uganda in 2007. There were 149 cases and 37 deaths in that outbreak, The Associated Press reported.

The second known outbreak was in Congo in 2012, with 57 cases and 29 deaths reported, according to the AP.

Because there have been fewer outbreaks of this virus, there is far less data about how it behaves than for the Zaire virus, which has been around since 1976 and caused dozens of outbreaks, Gounder said.

Symptoms of Ebola disease

Bundibugyo virus disease, the type of Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus, is severe and often fatal. The virus spreads from person to person through direct contact with bodily fluids of someone who is sick or has died from the disease.

The early symptoms can often be mistaken for other illnesses, the WHO says. They include:

feverfatiguemuscle painheadachesore throat

Those can progress to other symptoms, including:

vomitingdiarrheaabdominal painrashorgan dysfunctioninternal or external bleeding (less frequent)

The fatality rate of Bundibugyo virus disease, based on the past two outbreaks, is about 30 to 50%,the WHO says. While still highly deadly, this is lower than the fatality rate of the Zaire strain, which can be up to 90%.

"Early intensive supportive care including rehydration and treatment of specific symptoms, can improve survival,"the WHO says. "Seeking early care can be lifesaving."

Penn State miss out on former O-line commit

While theNittany LionslostLayton Von Brandtearlier in the recruiting cycle and were not the favorites to land him again, many expected him to sign with theNotre Dame Fighting Irish. However, after moving up his commitment date to today, he went a highly unexpected route. Instead of following several other four star O-linemen to South Bend, Von Brandt committed to theAuburn Tigers. While Penn State will be disappointed that he did not stick with his early intentions, it somewhat feels like a win after Penn State lost out on many players to theFighting Irishon the recruiting trail.

For now, this leaves theNittany Lionswithout a four star lineman amongst their class, but still enough talent at the position to get by. With local recruits in David Tarawallie and Ryan Robbins, Campbell could have two bookend tackles of the future. They also have some interior talent with Jon Sassic and Owen Reilly. However, Notre Dame being spurned is the bigger takeaway as they looked to continue to stockpile at the position. Auburn's win is perhaps a testament to their persistence in recruiting him and both Penn State and Notre Dame landing other commits at the position, thus losing focus on Von Brandt.

Now all eyes will be on another prospect, this time three star Lucas Rhoa, who locked down an official visit. For now, the sting of losing Von Brandt hurts just a little less than potentially expected.
