Spurs are going to have their choice of bud, doc, lue and Monty as lead assistant

I feel so bad for Hornets fans. It just seems lame as hell that the organization that got David Robinson, then Tim Duncan, is now also getting Victor. I was really hoping the Hornets finally got *that* guy.

I can’t believe they don’t show the expected order and odds. I had it pulled on my phone because it’s way less interesting not knowing the order.

Sucks for the fans but organization didn't suspend bouknight after he was found drunk in a car with a loaded(?) Gun. He practiced the next day. Same org that appears to be resigning bridges. F them

Scoot's not a bad #2 option though? This doesn't seem to be a one man draft.

Also sucks for Charlotte as they lost out on the Davis lotto too.

Great fit for Wemby

Jordan doesn't deserve to have Wemba fall into his lap the way he's run that team.

What does Charlotte do at 2? Portland at 3? Very interesting.

Can Melo and Scoot work?

They are both best with the ball in their hands. It *could* work, but it is a weird fit.

Would very secretly explore Melo's value. Kid is very talented but also might just have a 10 cent brain and not be a winning player.

They could get a haul for him if they wanted to.

I really don’t see Scoot as that level at all personally. Feel like most drafts have at least one better prospect than him.

What do we think that’d take?

Hornets take Miller. Portland trades #3 for Towns?

There is, his name is Brandon Miller. He is the guy I expect Charlotte to take but I should clarify.

Whatever teams take Wemby and Brandon Miller will have two of the best prospects in a while.

I don’t see Miller as being much better if at all either. Everyone has significant question marks after Wemby. Makes for a really interesting draft. In my mind you could make a decent case for like 4 or 5 different guys to go #2.
