Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

Some early-round pick, supposed to be a sure thing, gets arrested on the eve of the draft. You’ve seen it before.

He was supposed to be a star, but now he’s just another guy with a bad story to tell.

He allegedly failed to comply with verbal commands and smirked at the police. It’s like he thought he was above the law.

This one felt recognizable early.

The result wasn’t surprising by the end. You knew he was due for a fall.
