Thought I'd kick this off with the first thing that amazed me -- Zion Williamson dunking from the FT line at 285 lbs.

How likely are we to keep the pick?

Pretty likely. Phoenix gets it if we're 4-16.

Oh my. Zion Williamson is like drool-worthy. What a tank. With guard handles. Sign. Me. Up.

Sometimes an athlete comes along and you see the competition just doesn't matter. It was like Giannis highlights in the Greek lower levels. This kid has 'It'. That fluidity. Handle. Strength. Will. He's a man beast.

Zion = Julius Randle with Darvin Ham's bounce and Lance Stephenson's disposition.

I need to see him against the ACC but I don't think I could have been much more impressed with what he did today.

Barrett looked damn good in his own right. Duke is probably going to win it if they're healthy. When was the last time one team had the top 2 picks? Wooden-era UCLA?

EDIT: Brow and MKG

Was talking about passing on Embiid, but yeah, Jokic obviously goes top 2 in a re-draft.

He is 285? That's not human. Wonder what they are putting in the water

He looks like two Jabaris glued together

Zion's body scares me. You are not supposed to be that big and jump that high.

It would be pretty stupid if he didn't start losing weight, those knees won't be able to hold the impact.
