Draft him! He will fit right in with RW3, Brogdon and Porzingis

Must be. He will be a steal if he keeps sliding here.


Screams Miami lucking into him

Couple blah picks in NO/ATL, then Danny drafting, then have to watch Lakers/Heat/GS take guys off the board.

Hawkins is awesome. I hope he does well on the Pelicans.

Just basing off purely on their name, I wish the Celtics select Noah Clowney, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, or Kobe Bufkin for their pick.

No way. One smart team will take a chance on him unless he is another Brandon Roy/Lonzo Ball with no knees.

Seems like the Celtics will have some good options if they keep the pick

He might be too good to pass up if he falls that far.

But i think we need guys (playing with the Jays and KP) who are good passers. Whitmore is very talented, but he's one of the worst passers in this draft. He's also average at best defensively.

And the reason he's dropping is because of some type of health/injury issue so a bunch of red flags.

I'd rather have someone else take him before our pick.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Is there a YouTube channel or something with good draft coverage? ESPNs coverage is un-watchable.
