Too bad his Grandfather isn't able to attend the draft.

Why is being in a wheelchair stopping his grandfather from being at the draft?

Are you talking about his suit?

Yep.

Actually, no. Heres Paolo regarding his suit:

“I wore this color cause everyone gave my parents some heat for me not going to UW where they went so this was like a I’m sorry.”

Perkins already made comps to Michael Beasley and Sharreef Abdul-Rahim.

This is going to be a long night.

That's what he said, but it's still an homage to Prince for me. The ESPN guy called it such.

With the fourth pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Kings select:
#4 - Keegan Murray

Guess Ivey got what he wanted, eh?

SAC is going to be trashed, but Keegan Murray is going to be good.

He’s that quiet kid that only focuses on his game. Iowa never even ran plays for him. He could be Kawhi.

The first three picks were locks IMO to be the three taken. Now it starts to get interesting.

I don't blame him. He'll end up in a really nice spot!

They keep showing that clip of Ivey that makes him look like Billy from Stranger Things.

With the fifth pick in the 2022 NBA draft, the Detroit Pistons select:
#5 - Jaden Ivey

No surprise here. Some were mocking Ivey in the top 3.

He’s that quiet kid that only focuses on his game. Iowa never even ran plays for him. He could be Kahwai.

He’s a role player, might be a good role player though.

Every player in the NBA is a role player.

Wonder if this affects Portland's pursuit of Thybulle or not....

Nothing very surprising yet. Who will be the first team to "reach" according to the "draft experts"
