    Welp since there's no official draft discussion anywhere...

    Ayton, Bagley and Doncic first 3 off the board...

    apparently Mavs have traded for 3rd pick...not sure of the details

    A tiny part of me is hoping for a massive slide.

    I don’t get how these guys know ahead of time?

    Little finger and his birds have ears in each teams draft rooom or what? What’s the benefit of leaking the pick ahead of time.

    I wonder what Orlando does now. I know they wanted Trae Young too but he will be going to Atlanta.

    So they're looking at a lottery pick and Trae Young for Doncic? I love that trade for Atlanta to be honest. Next year's draft isn't great, but still a better trade than people are giving Atlanta credit for.

    Maybe Sexton? Porter Jr.? I'd go Bamba. I feel like Bamba could be the best player in this draft honestly.

    Looks like Orlando is taking Bamba and that's a steal for them at 6.

    I'm not sure he'll get the leadership he needs to be a real star in Orlando, but boy I love that kid and his talent.

    I think Bamba might be the best player in the draft 5 years from now.

    Boeing 747 wingspan, can sprint as fast as Westbrook, Rudy Gobert shotblocking and a decent 3 point shooter.

    It’s like the type of unicorns you create in NBA 2k lol.

    Jeff Goodman broke the next pick. I don't know if you guys want to know the picks ahead of him.

    Sucks for Bamba, I wouldn’t want to go to Orlando. It’s a basketball wasteland, people forget you exist. It’s like Toronto only they don’t even make the playoffs.

    Bilas has Aaron Holiday as his 10th best available? Wow, I like him, but that seems high.
