Trae wore suit shorts channeling LeBron walking in and out of a sweep. That’s a bold choice.

Ps Jamaal there was a point last night during the draft that Lonnie wasn’t getting picked...I thought we had him... oh man. I think you may be right on him. He looks pretty legit and now that Pop picked him, I have a weird feeling he will be pretty darn good. Nice call Brad!

Spud- Doncic/Mikal

Kg- Porter/Okogie

Macdaddy- Trae

Trav has commented admitted he almost traded up to #17 with MIL. But he backed out when he knew that his two SG choices were still on the board.

Huerter was abviously one. It's likely Lonnie was the other.

That boy seems like he'll be a stud coming up the Spurs University.

NOTE: I'm sure he'll see copious amounts of time with their G-League team this season. I hope we do the same with Huerter, Omari and Young Trae.

It had to be Trae because he wasn't even in this poll! lol.

Honestly I would have been happy with Luka too but I think people continue to underrate Trae and that fact that we got a potential lottery pick next year just to select the guy we wanted anyway? That's pretty damn good.

I have confidence in Trae but he could bust i guess. For some reason everyone acts like Luka is a sure star but I think that's far from the truth.

I expect by the draft next year there won't be any consensus on who the better player is and if we have a 6-10 pick to make from Dallas everyone will be pretty happy.

No I agree. History does tend to repeat itself but I don’t think Doncic will be Dirk. Dallas took a risk at a lost cost for them imo...time will tell if it was a good one.

Robert Williams admits oversleeping introductory conference call with Celtics

Robert Williams, the Boston Celtics' first-round selection in the 2018 draft, admitted he overslept the team's originally scheduled introductory conference call on Friday morning, although the team believes it was simply a miscommunication compounded by different time zones.

The Celtics were not concerned about the missed call, in part because of the time difference. Poor audio hindered the follow-up call as Williams' phone broke up repeatedly while answering questions during a 10-minute session with reporters.

The Celtics were deemed one of the night's winners after Williams slid to them. Williams seems to already have motivation from those that doubt him, especially after falling in the first round.

KH was Schlenks guy. He supposedly was going to trade up with Milwaukee for him. I'm ready RIP the 2018 draft, it was hella draining.

Time to tank for Barrett and Little.

I believe the bet Trae against Luka is the worst in this draft. I kinda can understand people’s narrative about Luka being unathletic and bad defender, when he’s compared to freaking Ninjas. But all this scares shouldn’t be around, when he’s compared to 6’1”, 190 Trae.
