Watch at 2:15, you can see Hoiberg's reaction after hearing they were awarded the third pick. It is pretty interesting to watch everyone's reaction after they see what pick they were awarded.

I thought he was going to slam that bear to the ground and stomp on it.

D'Antoni looked so uncomfortable after the 6th pick was theirs.

If I heard correctly, it sounded like there was laughter in the background right after Hoiberg showed his disappointment.

I didnt catch that when it was live.

Maybe that will come in for next year it would explain the Suns locking up Kerr as GM in preparation.
