    Clippers take Jerome Robinson at #13 which is a reach to me, but word was Jerry West loved him.

    So Clippers end up with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson.

    Where's Austin Rivers go?

    Not sure but Rivers picked up his players option for $12 million so they will have to figure it out.

    Porter's medicals must have been really bad. I wonder how far he falls.

    I think Porter Jr. doesn’t slip pass the Nuggets.

    I only watched a little SGA and wanted to like him but found his game to be underwhelming. He does have a good feel but I don’t see it adding up to anything special.

    He has a great demeanor in terms of staying level headed, but I think it also keeps him from really pushing a team forward. He's not a guy I would build around.

    Yeah...not great. I don’t want 3 rookies, just like I didn’t want 4 last year. But, hey, I was wrong then.

    West was like, I'll do you a solid Mitch and give you a decent trade after that Moz deal the other day.

    Btw, the 11th and 12th pick swap is still considered lottery (up to 14). So if the Lakers want to move up from 25 using 2 2nd rounders, I don't anticipate the cost to be that great. Plus, like I said, West just doing his disappointing pupil a solid.

    I definitely think having young, cheap labor is great. I don't think it's that great though. :D

    Some of those spots need to go to veterans who have actually played in the league. That being said, it's hard to say no to this draft room.

    I think the Nuggets finger is on the trigger for Porter and are very close to pulling it.

    Stein and Shams have been quiet on who they are taking

    I’m actually afraid of Porter falling to the Spurs.
