Remember- The Draft is played best when there is disinformation, false reports on workouts, and outright lies.

It's a smokescreen. Teams would never let their real opinion leak on who they are interested in.

Ainge was legendary for lying during the draft.

The draft is poker. Teams threaten to move up, and lie, lie, lie.

I heard during a workout 7-1 Lively hit 14 3 pointers in a row. That is very unlikely, and why would a scout leak that info to other teams?

Has Ainge falsified interest in Black and Coulibily?

There's video of him doing it, I saw it.

I think I saw it on one of ESPN's final draft coverage videos of the first 10 picks.

I wonder how many open gym 3s Kessler can hit in a row. I saw a video of him swishing a half court shot while at a kids camp in southern utah recently.

I think those three are some wishful thinking. One of them might drop to 9, but otherwise it would require a trade for an earlier pick. At 9 I like Kobe Bufkin at this point, even though I see Hendricks as a safe pick. Bilal would be interesting at 16 and if Clowney is still on the board at 28 well that's a good day.

I wanted the Hawks to draft Walker last year, he played HS ball just down the road from me, and you could see he had grit and hustle from the start.

Jazz hit back to back home runs with Walker and Sensabaugh. I have Sensabaugh as the 4th best prospect in this draft. In 2-3 years, Brice is going to be a better version of Bojan Bogdanović.

Hendricks is our future starting SF.......he will be a lockdown defender at the SF, and weak opponents will get abused. by Hendricks since he is FLUID, moves well, and there is no way you are driving past him without being stuffed.

Since Hendricks did not play in summer league, he has become somewhat of an afterthought, but I am actually most excited to see what he brings of all the rookies.

I'm very curious too, but it will be hard to find him minutes with Markkanen, Collins, Olynyk, Fontecchio and Samanic on the roster. Hopefully he'll show he's good enough in practices and the d-league to make the FO make some moves--that'll be a good sign. I'm also very curious about Sensabaugh.
