It's funny because for the 2021 WNBA draft, the Wings had picks #1, #2, and #5.

I get he played his whole career there, but I honestly can't recall a single thing he actually did on the basketball court in a pivotal game during the KD-Westbrook era. They retired his jersey too, didn't they?

I will root for Pistons. I don’t think they have had a High pick since Darko and no number one pick since Isiah Thomas. I am not even sure that Isiah was number 1 but he probably was.

Edit
Isiah was 2 and I forgot about last year’s lottery, Cade Cunniham. For some reason I am still rooting for the Pistons.

I'd like to congratulate Blazers fans in advance! Excited to see who they take with the #1 overall pick to build with Anfernee Simons for the future, as well as the assets they pick up from the Lillard trade!

I am confident The Orlando Magic will get a Top-3 Pick tonight. However, I am prepared for anything and whether they get 1-6, The Orlando Magic are going to get a good player by creating their own luck. My Prediction: Magic get #2.

No predictions for Top-4 as I'll be preoccupied with my Magic tonight.

It will be an intense few minutes.

Don't really think there is a "consensus" this year. About 4 guys kinda equal quality up top and I think position and team will decide who goes 1. I would have Smith as my #1 as well, probably the closest guy to a Tatum-type player in this draft and my team needs a PF, but I'm sure a team in need of a C would love Chet or Banchero.

This is a year I'd actually really like NOT to have the #1 pick because of how up in the air it is. I think having 2-4 would be better in the off chance #1 ends up being a bust.

First time in forever I had no idea this was on. Good feeling, this used to be my post-season highlight lol. At least now I can watch it without any dread.

Something tells me the NBA is rewarding them with the #1 pick as well lol, Dame is a hell of a representative

Outside of your own team, who do you want to see get the number 1? I'd like to see the Kings finally get something going.

What does Malika Andrew’s provide besides eye candy ? She’s on like every NBA show and I don’t remember if she’s ever said anything insightful.

The Admirals arms are bigger than Chet’s entire torso
