Grant Williams' time with the Mavs was short, but he made a big impact off the court by devoting time to community events almost as soon as he arrived in Dallas. It's exciting for him and for Charlotte that he'll get to do that in his hometown.

The Daily Northwestern's apology for reporters doing their jobs is distressing. But some professional journalists are being overly harsh on Twitter. These are college students. We should be teaching them instead of condemning them.
