Predict the first curveball of the draft

[Moooose]

Taurean Prince at 12 is like a curveball with a bowling ball.

For me it would be Thon Maker making the top 10 and Jamaal Murray slipping out of the top 10.

Ding, Ding, Ding...we have a winner !!! (sort of)

Thanks for reminding me I get to take some dork credit for this (from May 25th):

Not super exciting but I'll guess that Taurean Prince goes like 9-12 in the draft. I don't think that's a great move but I think there's been a slight pivot away from raw prospects in the NBA, and Prince checks off enough boxes for decent teams looking for competent help in the draft. Could see MIL, ORL, UTA, PHX, or CHI chasing him, and passing on guys like Chriss, D Davis, Skal, and Baldwin.

Didn't call the UTA trade, and Chriss was taken before him, but the rest was there. I feel so profoundly validated.

Everyone is looking for rarity in drafts.

Excellent prediction! Wouldn't say it is a reach, as it gets random after the 8th pick. I have Valentine and Prince in the same tier. Atlanta really misses DeMarre Carroll.
