Wow, the OG trade is the gift that keeps on giving.

Enjoy your 50 mill AAV, OG. We'll enjoy having three much cheaper rotation players who can actually handle the rock.

Smith and then the rest.

I guess I'll be ok with Flip, Furphy, Mogbo, Kolek

Masai loves bronny lololol

why did they split the draft like that? doesn't make sense.

I can see them going with Djurisic due the Darko Serbian connection. Could be a diamond in the rough.

This is the first year they're doing it.

Rationale = $$$

I'm good with Ajay/Kolek/Simpson or Smith/Mogbo

Give me a big to replace koloko

Want nba talk over multiple days, and another "Event" to put on ESPN, ie get them more $$$$

Though not sure casuals are tuning in for 2nd round draft coverage, only the diehards.

To fall in line with every other league.

All the executives love the change. That to me shows it was a good idea.

Having the draft on a weekday afternoon is an insane choice

I would assume a big

I would imagine it will also give teams a lot more time to workout 2-way or Summer league invite deals with potential undrafted players (or players who refuse to be selected in the 2nd round). When it was just 1 day, it seemed that teams were always in a mad scramble right after the 2nd round to get guys to fill their summer league team.

It's kinda amazing that a lot of the names in the discussion for the Raptors at #31 are the same as the names in the discussion for the Raptors at #19. Really shows how flat this has been.

Filipowski looks like he could be a steal.

I cannot believe Filipowski fell. I understand the alligator arms and not being a great athlete, but he's very coordinated, skilled, and was one of the most productive college players last year while only being a sophomore...+ 7 feet tall. 11th highest bpm in college last year and 3rd highest among underclassmen behind Sheppard and Clingan.

most boring draft I can remember

Isnt Ulrich supposed to have some hype as a raw talent?
