Pels end up with the #1 pick and it will just be more salt in the wounds for Lakers fans.

The NBA normally saves that for the pels when their franchise player leaves

Is this draft super exciting in the top 5? I haven't really heard a lot about these guys. No matter what, i kinda want the Kings to trade this pick. Idk

I think the top 6 is a lot more flat than most others do. I have Jabari Smith and Chet Holmgren as the clear top 2 prospects, then Paolo, Ivey, Sharpe, and Johnny Davis not far behind.

I wonder who will be the bust within the top 6 or 7 picks.

Sabonis is the only name representative that doesn't belong.

I'm not really a fan of the top of this draft. But I'm interested to see who'll fall/rise in the lotto.

I dont even know how it works for teams outside lottery, does Minnesota have any chance on slight mobility or is it fixed on 19th pick?


You have the 19th pick. Good luck, hopefully your team drafts a guy who can contribute next year.

As much as I want the Pistons to win the lottery, I can't think of any franchise that deserves it more than the Blazers after all the **** the fans have had to endure over the last 40 years or so going back to Sam Bowie and his derailed career (passing on Jordan in addition), to Brandon Roy and his derailed career, Greg Oden and his derailed career (passing on Durant in addition), all the Dame Drama etc. etc. etc.
Knicks too. God does that franchise need to catch a break.

As a neutral, i'm rooting for:
1. Pacers - small market team finally decided to blow it up
2. Lakers (Pelicans) - mostly for the laughs but also because the pelicans would immediately become the interesting team in the league
3. Portland - will they move the pick to help Dame?

Blazers will jump into the top 4. Calling it. All that tanking will pay off for them sadly. Pacers and Kings might too.
