Is there a consensus top pick in this year's draft? I'd probably go with Jabari Smith, but I know some may disagree.

Yup and you got lucky Luka dropped in your laps


Dropped in the lap isnt really the term. After the draft the news came out that the FO decided allready during the Eurobasket 2017 that Luka is the guy they HAVE to get in the 2018 draft. And that the entire FO was devestated after the lottery because they thought Luka wont happen anymore from this draft Position.

So it was getting lucky with moron FOs after getting unlucky in the lottery. Mavs winning the lottery and they take of course Luka straight up.

I also think Schlenk could have gotten two FRP in the trade


Yea this lol

Team Jabari as well. His shooting, scoring and defensive potential at that height is tantalizing.

0.39% chance Memphis keeps the Lakers pick! Let's make it happen!

All the mocks i've seen have had one of these 3: Smith, Bancharo, or Chet. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on one guy.

I like our new GM in Sacramento picking wherever we end up, as opposed to Vlade getting a top 3 pick. Oof

Orlando has been on a long streak of bad lottery luck, I'm just hoping our pick stays top 4 as I see viability in all of Chet, Smith Jr, Ivey, and Banchero. If we get #1 though, I'd prefer Smith Jr.

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?

They could've had the 18th pick, since they finished with the same record as the Bulls but lost the tiebreaker via coin flip last month. So, the Wolves are locked into the 19th pick.

Come on Spurs!! Silver gifted LA the #4 pick a couple years ago so they could get AD, he needs to reward the Spurs for not tanking when they could have an for not making the Kawhi situation a season long fiasco like Morey and the Sixers. Give us that top 4 pick!!

I am going to hangout with a female friend I haven’t seen in a while so even if we fall back to 12 I won’t feel like I wasted my day.
