None of those are great picks though. WC Finals teams five years down the road? Houston...protected? Miami... Just a bunch of chit.

Damn, I thought Det would've been a good spot for Winslow to go and get some mins off the bench-- good for them though, I like what they're building

Houston just traded a top 10 player in Harden for a bunch of BROOKLYN and MILWAULKEE 1st round picks. I consider most of OKC's 1st round picks way better then what Houston got, look at the crap 1st rounders New Orleans got for Jrue Holiday.

What's Houston playing at, lol? Take that 2nd pick and run like hell.

Doesn't make any of it right. If I'm running any of these orgs, I'm laughing at Presti when he calls. There are some picks that are enticing, Minnesota's pick that conveyed this year to GSW for example, but OKC doesn't have any of those in it's treasure chest. They've got some chit.

Detroit is not trading that pick.

Per wiretap, Cleveland and Houston want to trade their picks for a proven star. I just don't see who they can trade for, that will be available, who fits a timeline for success. It's not like those teams are a player away.

JT Thor. Name is hot due to combine measurements. Does his game measure up?

Cool with results - the only one i hate is the Raptors jumping to 4. If they nail that pick they're going to be a long term problem.

Luka can't jump on iggie's bed (thin cardboard in Chinese internet cafe) - does it matter?

We already learned that the "jumping high" type athleticism is mostly irrelevant, it's all about the shiftiness, IQ, handle, shooting, first step type quickness.

Hell, current MVP and future MVP both look and move like polish plumbers.

How did this kid shoot so poorly in college, Panda? Didn't even crack 30% from three? What got lost in translation?

Not sure but he looks good in predraft. Maybe he’s worked really hard on his shot
