Does the draft start at 7 or 8pm? TSN's site says 7pm but I've seen 8pm on a few other websites

Something called "Anonymous Scouts".

Wade Baldwin, 6'4" sophomore guard, Vanderbilt: "[Sighs.] He'll get picked because of his size and his length, but he just doesn't have that sense of vision to be a floor general. His numbers show he's a good shooter but he takes a little too much time to get his jumper off. One of the longest guards we've see in a while. The question is, can he lead? What he did at Vanderbilt suggests he can't. I think it's pretty well known there was a disconnect between him and that coaching staff. Who's to blame, I don't know. But you're talking about a freak athlete with size. It wouldn't stun me if he goes in the lottery."

Skal Labissiere, 7-foot freshman forward, Kentucky: "I'm not a fan. I might take him in the late teens because that's where you can take a gamble. I don't think he's tough or physical, and I don't know if he knows how to play. If you watch him work out one-on-nothing, he can blow you away. The problem is when the game starts. He can really shoot. [Cavaliers forward] Channing Frye is going to get him drafted high. You're just seduced by his talent. If there's a team that wants to take a chance on him in the top 10, more power to you."

Jakob Poeltl, 7'1" sophomore center, Utah: "Classic low block center. The league has gone away form that, which is to his advantage. How athletic is he in a quick-twitch league? He's going to be really good. The improvements he made in rebounding and free throw shooting were impressive. He's just scratching the surface. If you watch him guard pick and roll, he can switch against guards. He's grown on me. People always forget you have to wait on bigs. I'm a little more high on him than most people. He doesn't shy away from contact and he runs the floor very well."

Unless someone drops from top 8, Sabonis is my guy.

I don't mind the rest of the guys in our range, but to me he is the guy. His combination of Basketball IQ and hustle is hard to beat. And if he adds a three point shot...

For the 27th pick. Euro stash or a big wing. A Sabonis - Prince/Bembry/Luwawu draft would be amazing.

If Chriss falls past the Celtics and Suns he's back in play for 9!

I've been thinking about this scenario and I still want Sabonis.

24 hours away!

Been waiting for this since Masai made the trade years back.

Chriss is a pretty perfect fit beside JV for the long term. Like a slimber version of Blake Griffin, but without the rebounding and instead 3 point shooting and some more shot blocking.

You should come up with another speech for draft day. Thanknation is upon us.

Suns can't decide on a PG. Jesus.

Both draftexpress and nbadraft has Bender dropping to 7th. If that happens I'm going to be so mad at Ujiri for doing too good of a job of ripping off the Knicks when he was with Denver.

Sounds like trades will muck up the the top 8 landscape. All of a sudden everyone wants Dunn. Not sure who wants Bender. We will not get Chriss. I really think there are GMs who think DeJounte Murray has star potential. That means he is a skinny project with a high ceiling. They worked him out once away from the cameras. I honestly believe it is a Poetl/Sabonis/WtF Dejounte evening about to happen. Other teams want those players so stay tuned it might be other teams that force our hand from well outside the lotto. If nobody deals with Boston they will have to take a lot of stashing Euros no?

Chances are Celtic trade the 3rd pick and that team swoops in to take Bender.

And if he were to fall I don't see Denver picking up another big man. They're stacked at that position. And the Kings are the kings.

Seriously.

Better for us! The Suns playing musical chairs at pg could lead to us getting the steal of the draft.

Pretty crazy though...Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Bledsoe, Knight, Ennis, Goodwin and now possibly Dunn over the past 3 seasons.
