Just a central location to discuss all the craziness we're likely to get today.

I'll be live blogging the actual draft tonight, too. Feel free to chime in.

Paolo over Chet and Jabari would be a huuuuge surprise.

LA should be able to get a cheap, young, experienced collegiate with this pick.

Andrew Nembhart or Wendell Moore, Jr. seem like great fits.

This will be the first three picks in this order:
Javari
Chet
Paolo

Chet wants to be in OKC and hasn't given other teams his medical reports on his heart or anything. He's guaranteed to be drafted by OKC.

Houston is probably a better fit for Jabari. Him and Jalen Green will be special together.

Draft gets hella flat from this point on. I do like Griffin, and he'd be a good fit here, but those knees are pretty much shot from how he moves laterally.

I'm not sure Jabari has handles, probably why he dropped. He can probably develop

Nobody is left at 9 for the Hawks to trade with the Spurs for. Dyson made sum sense, now it's onto the Jalen Williams train.

Whew, sweating for a bit. My only wager was that AJ Griffin will be selected over 11.5.

A nervous 1k profit.

I was onboard with drafting Jalen Williams at 16. I'm happy he went as a lottery pick but absolutely floored, too. Older kids going around picks 10-14 has been happening frequently in recent years.

Cam Johnson, Chris Duarte and now JW. Interesting how he fits in on a team filled with young prospects.

ESPN broadcast with Malika, Perkins and Jay Bilas definitely feels like the B-Team tonight.

But I can't stand Stephen A Smith, so...
