Thats the worst. I hate that I have to turn Twitter off during any draft. (#firstworldproblems) Its ridiculous that the commissioner's announcement of the pick isn't good (quick) enough for people.

Honestly twitter is a lot more interesting than listening to a talking head spout every cliche' that they can think of between picks and analyze the great fit that they will be when they don't have any idea who even plays on half of the lottery teams.

He gave 110 percent
he came to play
Played within himself
Took it to the next level
Tremendous upside
wanted it more
great work ethic
just know how to win
Demonstrates great athleticism/length
Overcame adversity

the worst is when they find a family sob story to talk about

Yup. But, for me, the anticipation and drama surrounding the announcement of the pick far outweighs anything I want to read on Twitter. I can wait until the following day to read "expert" analysis of the draft.

Waiting for them to sort out trades on the tv broadcast is maddening, along with interviewing the guy picked 3 picks ago, and then commercial break, and we're back and we are talking about a trade but you can't figure out if it's a new trade or one that they were talking about 5 minutes ago that they said they would let us know as soon as they have more details. Twitter is much easier to follow, and I could care less about drama. Just my 2 cents.

All I care about it not knowing about the top 8-10 pickups for this years draft. After that it doesn't matter to me

Thats true. To each their own. But for me, especially during the NBA Draft, drama > need for information. This year even more so with the Bucks having #2 overall.

And since I'll be content with the Bucks selecting any one of the rumored 3 or 4 top picks, its gotten to the point where I'm more intrigued with will happen with the rest of the draft. Will they package picks to move back into the 1st round? Will they package players to move back into the 1st round? A combination? Which prospects will be available at 31?

10 days...

Setup a webcam and stream so we can see the room's reaction to the pick.

Also, assuming a certain poster can't make this party, would love if they would setup a webcam as well for a fans-react-to-red-wedding style insight just on the off chance the Bucks do actually pick Exum.

Can we do name tags with our screen names?

I wanna know who to avoid...

Thanks for the invite, but won't make it down for this or the Summerfest one. Eagerly await the Draft though!

I might try to make it!

Gonna try to be there. I need big screens, draft commentary volume, beer and food though.

That's my issue too. I need to hear everything, take everything in. One reason why I can't watch Packer games at bars.

Won't be able to make it. Draft tradition is to hang out at Wichmae's. Last two times I didn't we drafted Potsie and Baddy.

Can't test fate like that again.

Thursday is my bowling night, but you can bet I'll force everyone in that alley to watch the Bucks draft their star. If you can't raise awareness voluntarily, there's always stronger methods to choose from.

I'll be in Madtown for a conference at UW unfortunately.

We'll have the volume up much louder this time, and the draft will be on until the last pick. Hope to see you there!
