Here it is. Go Wolves.

Pizza and beer time!

With the first pick in the 2022 NBA Draft:
#1 - Paolo Banchero

Woj must be seething, that the Magic kept him out, making the wrong prediction for days.

Prediction. The Wolves don't make the #19 selection or if they do it's for somebody else.

Paolo to ORL - I wonder if we can get a big from ORL?

Ouch. Michael Beasley comp for Banchero.

It's official. Banchero #1.

How did Jabari Smith shoot .420 from 3 on 5.5 attempts but only .429 overall?
Banchero's efficiency stats don't exactly scream 1st overall pick either.

Trades or not, still excited for next season baby! Ant is better than basically everyone in the NBA

Good question and observation. I guess he didn't shoot much better from 2 than he did from 3.

I like the homage paid to Prince by Banchero.

I thought this was brilliant

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

With the second pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the OKC Thunder select:
#2 - Chet Holmgren

(I'll list the players drafted but I'll wait 2 minutes until after the pick to post 'em so I'm not spoiling anything.)

I said it before on the main page; I think Chet will have a Rik Smits-like career with struggles early and success later.

Paolo Banchero is a good passer.

Are you talking about his suit?

I'm glad that Holmgren didn't fall past #2. Representing Minnesota. Should have played for Minnesota, but I'll forgive him.

Yep.

Who does Jabari remind me of? Looks like a kid from 20 years ago that became a good nba player?

Rick Smits was a very good player, but I'm guessing Holmgren will be better.
