Good, that leaves POR with 2 of Jakucionis, Demin, Bryant or Essengue to chose from, if Maluach goes then 3 to choose from

Its D-DAY!!!

Normally, I shy away from trashing anyone. But.

CBS pre-draft show interviewed Mavs GM Nico. If I every watched worse answers, anywhere, by anyone, not just sports, I can not remember when.

Nico makes Cronin look like a genious.

Demin going 8 is first surprise of the night.

I think Noa is going next to Toronto.

Still have Bryant & Jakucionis on the board, I’d be surprised if TOR does not take Essengue, though Maluach is still there

So far I agree KK and Demin drafted too high, maybe Fears as well. But hey, good for us!

I hope they take Essengue- he bailed on his team in the Championship to come to the draft!

Maluach should go at either 9-10 for both the Raptors/Suns board say they need a big. What would
really help is if Queen goes in the top 10

If Noa ,Carter or KJ are all there, who do they pick?

Wow, so Portland will be able to draft either of Noa or Carter (and obviously Coward).

Don't screw this up Cronin/Schmitz!

POR could have a choice b/t Jakucionis, Bryant or Essengue. Cause PHX has to be thrilled that Maluach is there

Legit surprised that Noa or Maluach didn't go to Toronto. Does PHX take a big in Maluach? With Noa to Por?!

The way the board is falling I would hope for a trade down w/ OKC for 15+24.

Carter, Noa, KJ, Coward - assuming PHX takes Malauch and ATL promised Newell at 13 then your guaranteed one of those kids at 15.

Oh boy, looking like a lot of the players who've been mocked to Portland are gonna be on the board now with CMB going to Toronto.

KJ, Noa, Bryant all looking like they'll be on the board for Portland.
