To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 17th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 15 which has has had a total of 14 players wear the number in the history of the team.

The fifth of those players wearing No. 15 played in the (then) New York (now, Brooklyn) and New Jersey Nets eras, guard alum Dave Wohl. After ending his college career at Penn, Wohl was picked up with the 46th overall selection of the 1971 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Flushing, New York native would play the first season of his pro career with the Sixers. He would also have stints with the Portland Trail Blazers, (then) Buffalo Braves (now, Boston Celtics - it's a long story), and Houston Rockets before he was dealt to New York in 1977.

His stay with the team would end when he was cut by the team early next season. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Wohl wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 6.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

Netflix using startup Runway AI's video tools for production
Netflix Inc. has begun using artificial intelligence video generation software from startup Runway AI, testing the waters with a technology that's controversial in Hollywood. Netflix is currently using the New York-based startup's tools in content production, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to discuss private conversations. Netflix declined to comment. Walt Disney Co., meanwhile, has been testing out Runway's technology and has talked with the startup about possible uses for its generative AI tools, the person said. A Disney spokesperson said the company has no plans to integrate Runway's software into its content production pipeline at this time. Runway declined to comment. The companies' use of Runway's AI video tools, which has not previously been reported, could raise concerns in the entertainment industry. Many film and TV professionals are anxious about AI's impact on their livelihoods. Disney recently sued Midjourney Inc., another AI image and video startup, for copyright infringement. But AI also offers the promise of speeding up some video production tasks and saving money. In a conference call Thursday, after Netflix released its second-quarter results, co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos said the company is using AI in content production. That includes creating special effects shots more quickly and cheaply than it previously had been able to with traditional visual effects tools and processes. Sarandos said Netflix used the technology for the first time on screen to depict a building collapsing in a show called 'El Eternaut' from Argentina. He did not disclose which AI software it used for that particular scene; a source familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to discuss private information, said Runway's software was not used to create the effect. Runway is competing in an increasingly crowded corner of the fast-growing market for AI tools with established companies like OpenAI and Google, along with a slew of smaller, newer startups. The startup has more traction than most AI startups in Hollywood, however. It kicked off a frenzy around AI video generators in early 2023 with the release of a model that could produce slightly choppy-looking three-second clips based on written prompts such as 'drone footage of a desert landscape.' Its technology has since become far more capable and the company has inked a deal with Lionsgate to train an AI model on the studio's content that can be used in its film projects. Investors have poured $545 million into the company thus far, with a funding round of $308 million earlier this year valuing the company at more than $3 billion. More recently, Runway has pushed deeper into the world of animation and special effects. Earlier this month, the company started rolling out a new AI model called Act-Two that is meant to make the motion-capture process — traditionally clunky, pricey and time consuming — simpler and cheaper. The model, which works with Runway's flagship Gen-4 AI system, can map a video of a person's body movements onto animated characters. Other AI startups have also tried to make inroads in the entertainment industry. As Bloomberg News previously reported, OpenAI spent months talking to large studios, including Disney, about its AI video generator, Sora. While OpenAI has found a receptive audience among some filmmakers, it has yet to announce a large commercial partnership for the product. Metz writes for Bloomberg.

One player from every NFC team who fantasy football managers should be watching in NFL training camp
Dallas Cowboys - Jaydon Blue The Cowboys' rookie running back caught some negative rumors over the weekend and even took to social media to reassure his doubters that he'd quiet the noise. Blue has every opportunity in the world to leap up the Cowboys' running back depth chart this summer, if he puts in the work. His 127th overall ADP on Yahoo is still reasonable, as you can just drop him if he doesn't earn an early-season role. His range of outcomes is quite wide — a possible value starting back to a healthy scratch on game day — and we should get some clues as to which path he'll wander in the coming weeks. New York Giants - Cam Skattebo I'd imagine that the Giants enter training camp with an open mind as to who will start at running back between Skattebo and last year's rookie, Tyrone Tracy. Odds are that this ends up being some form of a committee, which would make both guys tough to start on an offense not projected to score many points. Not to mention, veteran Devin Singletary is still on this roster. If Skattebo has a great camp, he could push Singletary off the roster but that's being treated far too much as a given right now in the fantasy streets. A three-way split backfield in New York would be an impossible puzzle to solve with no good, rewarding picture at the end. Philadelphia Eagles - Will Shipley The Eagles are set at all the skill position spots and only have a right guard vacancy on their much-praised offensive line. We don't have much fantasy mystery with this squad. The one man to watch may be someone most gamers hope to see very little of in 2025, because Shipley getting run would mean something happened to Saquon Barkley. While we don't wish injury on anyone, it is critical to know who is the next man up for an Eagles offense that has a strong rushing ecosystem and a lead back who touched the ball over 400 times last year. Washington Commanders - Deebo Samuel I don't have a strong stance on how Samuel will perform with the Commanders this season. I view him as a player in serious decline but believe how he will be deployed as a short-area and screen-based threat in Kliff Kingsbury's offense could help stave off the cliff. His ADP of 103rd overall doesn't require you to take a strong stance one way or the other. It's worth tracking how he looks and is deployed in training camp to determine if he's worth taking a chance on in the later rounds. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Chicago Bears - Luther Burden I hate when rookie wide receivers miss time in their first offseason. It's just so easy to fall behind. Burden missed almost all of the Bears' offseason to this point after a soft tissue injury early in rookie minicamp. However, he has every opportunity to change the course of his rookie season and make up ground if he's able to fully participate in training camp. Burden has a chance to earn a big role and shake up the Bears' wide receiver room. If he's slow out to get rolling early in his first season because he's still working back, there may not be much playing time behind D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze in what should be a 12-personnel-heavy offense. Detroit Lions - Tate Ratledge The Lions are one of the teams with a pretty set-in-stone group of skill-position players, and most fantasy gamers are concerned with what the unit will look like without Ben Johnson calling the plays. However, the offensive line got a big shakeup when All-Pro center Frank Ragnow retired last month. Detroit wasn't totally caught off guard here and are set to have rookie guard Tate Ratledge slide over to start at center. Not only is Ratledge a rookie but he didn't play the position in college. His progress at the spot is a significant pivot point for how the this offense will perform this season. Green Bay Packers - Matthew Golden The Packers' passing offense would be most dangerous if Golden and Jayden Reed were the top two guys in the pecking order and on the field for over 75% of the snaps every week. This team has leaned more into a rotation approach the last two seasons and the receiver room is still quite crowded on paper. Golden needs to have a great camp to solidify himself as the starting flanker and push some challengers to the side. I think we're all over-indexing on how run-heavy the Packers were last season. It's created some real possible value with both Reed and Golden. Minnesota Vikings - J.J. McCarthy Total layup here; you can argue that McCarthy might be the most important player to watch in any camp this summer. The second-year quarterback didn't play as a rookie after a season-ending August and now inherits a playoff-hopeful team with a fantastic offensive ecosystem. After upgrades made to the offensive line, you can argue Minnesota is even better set up for success in 2025 than last year. While Sam Darnold wasn't as good as his stats indicate, he still led one of the most productive pass games in the league. We should be rightly glued to every McCarthy rep this summer to see if he can come close to matching that production in his first year as the starter. Atlanta Falcons - Michael Penix Jr. We got a brief look at Penix in the final three games of last season. The product on the field was a bit volatile as his accuracy concerns reared their head but he also produced some highlight reel moments. Penix's progress in his first full season as the starter will matter a ton to RB Bijan Robinson and WR Drake London, both of whom leave fantasy drafts quite early. Penix's arm strength can help this scoring unit reach a ceiling they haven't touched yet. New Orleans Saints - Chris Olave Olave is one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL on per route basis since he entered the NFL. He's just missed time with concussions and played in slow-paced offenses that don't run a ton of plays. Kellen Moore's offense will fix the latter, as he routinely calls fast-paced units. However, we should use training camp to track the reports on Olave's health and role in the offense. There's a chance he is featured in ways that will create more layup throws than he's used to seeing so far in his career. We can't know how the health issues will play out until we get to game day but training camp can still be a useful fact-finding mission for a talented wide receiver fantasy managers aren't drafting anywhere close to where he's gone the previous two seasons. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Emeka Egbuka We already got a pretty substantial clue in the Bucs' wide receiver room, as Chris Godwin is still working his way back to participate fully in training camp. Any absence from the big-name Bucs wideouts would create an opportunity for Egnuka to make strides forward. He appeared completely buried when originally drafted by Tampa Bay but there's more of a path to immediate playing time than it seems on the surface, even if he does settle in as the WR3. Egbuka has drawn rave reviews in Tampa so far, and if that momentum continues, he'll be a fine bench player in fantasy with the upside to crack starting lineups if Godwin or Mike Evans miss any time. Carolina Panthers - Tetairoa McMillan Rookie receivers are usually one of the best discount targets to take in fantasy football but depending on your draft room, it might be tough to get any such bargain for McMillan in this year. The Panthers' rookie leaves the board at 84th overall in Yahoo drafts right now but he goes closer to 50th overall in best ball drafts. If McMillan has a strong summer, there's a chance he climbs closer to that true WR2 designation by the time August comes to close. No matter what, McMillan's ADP implies he's the Panthers' clear WR1 and a Day 1 starter at the X-receiver spot. I'm betting that's the case but we can use training camp to confirm that for certain. Los Angeles Rams - Kyren Williams We're in the second straight offseason of fantasy analysts projecting a rookie back nipping at the heels of Williams, with Jarquez Hunter playing the role Blake Corum held last season. I'm open to Hunter or even Corum mixing into this offense more because Williams wasn't all that explosive last season and left some big plays on the field. However, we have little-to-no real indication from this team they want to minimize Williams' role as the workhorse back. That could change over the next month, which would then make Williams' RB12 ADP a little tough to stomach. For now, it's nothing more than a theoretical worry. Arizona Cardinals - Marvin Harrison Jr. We've talked about Marvin Harrison Jr. needing to see his deployment mixed up a little for the last 10 months after he played almost all of his rookie season as an X-receiver with a vertical-based route tree. Now, we're about to enter the time of the calendar where we might finally get some clues in discovering whether any change will likely occur. I want to read reports of Harrison moving around the formation, being weaponized with motion and taking reps in the slot. It isn't the only domino that needs to fall in order for Harrison to unlock his ceiling but it's a key first step. San Francisco 49ers - Ricky Pearsall Pearsall is one of my favorite breakout candidates after he finished last season dominating man coverage and playing so well in a multi-dimensional role for the 49ers. With Brandon Aiyuk coming back from a major injury, Pearsall is in a fantastic position to earn a ton of targets on an offense we know will be hyper-productive. However, he needs to be healthy and participate in camp to come through on that promise. Pearsall is currently on the active/PUP list but can be removed at any time. Let's hope he gets rolling soon and has a much cleaner summer than last year, as he's one of my favorite late-round wide receiver targets. Seattle Seahawks - Kenneth Walker Walker is by no means some screaming sleeper with a 45th overall ADP and an RB16 consensus ranking for most of the summer. However, there's room for upside as a back going outside the top 15 at the position. The Seahawks' run game should see a boost with Klint Kubiak taking over for Ryan Grubb as the offensive coordinator, along with improved play likely coming along the offensive line. The starting running back for this team could jump to clear RB1 status and be a significant win for those who take a chance. We just need to confirm in camp that Walker has a commanding hold on the lead back role, which is what early ADP suggests with Zach Charbonnet going outside the top-110 picks overall.

The Late Show Is Ending For Good In CBS Cancellation Shocker, And I Relate So Hard To Stephen Colbert's Reaction
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Late night talk shows in recent years haven't been quite as much of a staple of network television like in the days of David Letterman and Jay Leno, but CBS' move against The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will still come as a shock to many. In the midst of Colbert's tenth season as host of the show that replaced Late Show with David Letterman, the comedy icon himself made the announcement. Not only is his time on CBS as a late night host ending, but this is a cancellation that will mark the conclusion of The Late Show altogether. While change has been afoot for late night in the 2025 TV schedule, I didn't expect this, and Colbert seemed to feel the same way in his announcement. Visibly emotional, he broke the news to the studio audience during the taping of a new episode, saying: Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May. [in response to boos from the audience] Yeah, I share your feelings! It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of The Late Show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away. Colbert went on to state that CBS have been "great partners." Then he expressed his gratitude to the audience (who cheered at this for the first time after booing the sad news), to the house band, and to the "200 people who work here." He stated that he wished "somebody else was getting it" rather than the show ending altogether. Ten months of The Late Show remain. A joint statement from Co-CEO Paramount Global and President and Chief Executive Officer George Cheeks, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach, and CBS Studios President David Stapf addressed why The Late Show was so suddenly cancelled: This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount. The cancellation isn't due to any kind of scandal or controversy or dive in the ratings, but simply a "financial decision." The news broke not too long after Jimmy Kimmel of ABC's late night lineup opined that the format might not make it another decade, and Seth Meyers of NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers suggested "probably some sadness" in the future for late night lovers. NBC made some cuts for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in fall 2024, and CBS cancelled After Midnight a few months before The Late Show got the axe. The statement from the CBS execs went on to say: Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult. Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist. It's hard not to start worrying about the futures of late night programs that are airing on other networks. After all, if the program that "has been #1 in late night" for nine consecutive seasons can get the axe, is any show safe? That may be a little dramatic until we know more, but I can 100% relate to Stephen Colbert's reaction when his straight face broke just a little bit to acknowledge and agree with the audience booing the cancellation. I also have to commend him for his poise overall, especially since he got the bad news just the night before the taping on the afternoon of Thursday, July 17. Take a look at his announcement below: As somebody who has been watching Stephen Colbert off and on since his days on The Daily Show in the early aughts, it's almost hard to imagine late night without his particular brand of humor. At least there is still the better part of a year left before he signs off from The Late Show for good to end an very long era of CBS in the late night TV game. For now, new episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert air on weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET. Solve the daily Crossword
