Those were the days when I ran my finger down a phone-book page and never dialed Information. When I read novels and couldn’t sleep until I had finished the last page. Those were the nights when I could point out a shooting star before it finished scraping across the dark sky....

The 18-year-old’s arrival in New Orleans prompted excitement among supporters, who will see star Anthony Davis, also a No. 1 overall pick, depart for the Lakers in a trade.
