Just ran the lottery simulator at Tankathon website. This board doesn’t allow photos to be posted, so can’t show the screenshot. But I’m leaving the tab open through Monday evening:

#1 Charlotte Hornets - Flagg
#2 Chicago - Harper
#3 Portland - Bailey
#4 Washington - Edgecombe
#5 Utah - Johnson
#6 New Orleans - Knueppel
#7 OKC - Maluach
#8 Brooklyn - Fears
#9 Toronto - Jakucionis
#10 San Antonio - Newell
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Just so you know you can post photos you just have to upload it to an image site first.

That's how we do all those AI pictures for the game threads

If all we end up with is someone named Collin Murray Boyles after that horrid season I am deleting my RealGM account, I'm asking for a divorce, I'm leaving the kids, I'm out

Collin Murray Boyles sounds like a Hogwarts character. In Hufflepuff.

Boyles is that tweener sorta kinda maybe player we shouldn’t have to even consider after this hideous season. I’m also wary of hyphens and three word names after MKG.

It does make you wonder how he dropped to the 2nd round. Scouts obviously had seen something in him that put them off, maybe it was his athleticism and lack of of it but his bball IQ is off the charts. That's something we are in desperate need of.

Totally agree, Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round, so there are some gems out there late...

What are your thoughts on Chase Hunter *Curry look alike lol*, who plays for CLEMSON...? I am a fan of his and think he would be a great pickup 2nd round

I wish I were GM... Draft day would be soooooo much FUN lmao. Talk about a near heart attack. Roller coaster it would be lol. Some don't understand me or think I don't make sense but God revealed something to me.

He said, the minute you make sense, is the minute you wont understand yourself. You don't have to make sense to be UNDERSTOOD.

He looks a nice player, a confident player who wants the ball in his hands In clutch time, however I can see him dropping out the 2nd round don't ask ne why but just a feeling.
He might be someone to invite to summer league then if he does well the g league

I am happy with any of Flagg, harper, vj, kon, tre, or Sorber.

Ace is to high risk for me
