The NBA released the video from inside the room where the lottery drawing actually takes place - you can find that here: 2026 NBA Draft Lottery (Utah actually wins the #2 pick twice, kinda interesting).

Thought Chigozie Umeadi**’s reaction to getting the 4th pick might be worth sharing. Had to punch into the video so resolution isn’t perfect but you can see him slowly dial in as the numbers fall our way. I think he had one of the better reactions from the group of four that got picked.

Exciting stuff for the new guys in charge!

**Edit: the guy repping the Bulls is actually Chigozie Umeadi who’s our Executive Director of Basketball Ops. Apologies to Bryson!

Hi all,

Decided to get myself my first carnivorous plant a few weeks ago and settled on a drosera capensis as most places seemed to identify it as a common beginner plant.

First couple of weeks were very smooth and it kept sprouting new growth. Things started going south about a week ago, as it hardly produces dew anymore and leaves are going gray, and I’m pretty sure one of two things might’ve caused it:

1. I left it outside for a while on a slightly hot day with probably not enough water. When I brought it back inside, there was a bit of water still in the tray, but not a lot. I’d say it was probably upper 70s low 80s kind of day - not outrageous. I do live in an arid climate (SoCal) however. If this was the cause, I’m surprised it hasn’t bounced back yet, but I’m new to this.

2. I fed it one of these (pictured) Betta food pellets. I think either here, in a video, or on a forum I had seen this specific type recommended. I just dropped one pellet on a stem (uncrushed) and it seemed to take to it pretty easily (curled over it and was absorbing by next day). This is my leading candidate for what went wrong as I noticed the ingredients do have a bunch of minerals listed, so although I swear I bought the exact pellets that were recommended, maybe these were the wrong call?

Other info:
- Sphagnum moss potting
- Tray method (probably need to get a deeper one) and keeping at least a quarter inch to half inch of distilled water in there. Also watering regularly (moss is never dry)
- Only giving it distilled water
- 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. My place only faces direct sun for a few hours in the morning, so I’ve taken it up to the rooftop of my place where it gets outdoor direct sun from the afternoon hours into the evening (last photo shows typical sun exposure)

So did I kill this thing? Is it resuscitatable? Or beyond repair? Would greatly appreciate any advice for this amateur!
