Voted 7 but on second thought It’s probably more like 9 lol. We’re unlikely to get a future starter but it’s still exciting to add new players.

Always a 10. Love draft night.

Ware/McCain and Smith/Dunn/Mogbo

Don't really know who is available.

Tough to pick.

10

This draft has been considered bad for a long time now. Which, in my opinion, makes is it even better to watch.

Alot of poker being played by the front offices.

Big boards are all over the place.

It makes scouting all the more important.

The cap really coming into play.

There is so much debate between these prospects.

I keep changing my picks and there is not many player I would be disappointed but unless a player massively drop to #19 my realistic favourites option are Kel’el Ware, “Bub Carrington or Collier at 19 and one of Tyson, Klintman, Smith, Dunn, Dadiet at #31

If McCain unexpectedly fall to #19 then I guess he would be my favourite pick

I would not be mad if it’s Kyshawn, Missi at 19. or Mogbo at #31 but would not be my first choice

I would be disappointed if we draft Chomche, Bona or Shannon at #31 .

I'm indifferent. It doesn't sound like you're going to get someone that can change your team in this draft. Someone that can be a rotation player by year 3 would be nice. This team needs so much more then that. I wish i could fast forward a year and we had a lottery pick. If I could vote again, it would be a 5.

I am pretty excited but not having a top pick in the draft after such a bad season sucks....The Yak trade set us back a little bit here which was disappointing for me ....That being said id give it a solid 7 cause any draft night is fun cause anything can happen...A Brown trade would be the big move of the night and hope someone good slides to us at 19.

Pretty damn excited.

Love the fact that they made it a 2-day debacle.

I'm always excited about the draft, but it's going to be hard not to feel underwhelmed. Even when the prospects are weaker, you start to like the idea of 5-10 of them. Even if one of those guys gets picked (instead of a Bruno), you still only got one, where before the draft it was kind of like you had all of them.

It's kind of like the OG and Siakam trades, where before they were made, I had all of these ideas of different combinations of players and picks we could get. Once the deals went down, whether they were good or bad, you're still kind of like... so that's it, huh.

I'm excited, but fully expect to be disappointed. After all, I have very strong opinions based on reading some mock drafts and watching multiple highlight videos on YouTube.

Always excited for the draft as long as we have a 1st rd pick. But this year I don't know anyone and don't know who we should draft. The draft thread on this website has like 50 different names on who we should draft so idk

I'm hoping McCain drops as other guys gain hype. He would be great as a Trent replacement, smaller size but better playmaking and shooting potential.

Poeltl / Mogbo (31)
Barnes / Olynyk
Barrett / Agbaji
Dick / McCain /Agbaji
Quickely / McCain (19)

I would view that as the best possible haul.

Draft day is a critical day for most franchises that aren't free agent destinations. Hopefully they take advantage of opportunities.

I'm more nervous than excited. Most of the players in that 15-25 range are interesting but the one i'm not fond of has a major shot at being the choice they go with.
