That was my least enjoyable draft watching experience.
I went to a draft party hosted by the Greensboro Swarm that year. They were holding a contest to guess who the Hornets would take and the trade had already happened; I broke the bad news.

warning, next person who describes Ball as playing in a crappy league without defence will cop abuse from me.

the Aussie league is pretty tough, especially on guards. It's fast and its physical.

I'm following NBA live draft coverage on The Ringers on YouTube TV. They're so far focusing strictly on player traits/qualities/flaws. I haven't heard a single rumor. It's quality.

I would DEFINATLY try to trade back because they are projecting Hayes to go around 9 so that means either Terry or Hayes should be there. Would be great to draft either and get a future 1st as well

i went to the Bucks board to offer Rozier, probably bad timing, they're a little sensitive at the moment. :lol:

i think Rozier would be a better fit than Bogdan

I wouldn't be suprised if we trade pick 3,32,56 Graham and PJ to move up to pick #1 to grab Toppin lol

It’s just on YouTube. Sounds like they may be peacing out until later when the first round is over

My guess is that it was Bogdan's agent. But I don't think we'll ever know the answer.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I grew up with a black and white TV with the coat hanger. I am at least happy to see a color tv for our number 3 pick because that black and white one would have left me guessing who is who lol.

nah, i think it's a cover up by someone to prevent a tampering change, and he'll "talk with them" on day one of free agency and sign there

I don't think we pass on any of the big 3 if they fall to us at 3. Out of all I could see us passing on Edwards but not Ball or Wiseman
