"At Barclays, the big screens on stage just showed a picture of Kristaps Porzingis and the Knicks fans here erupted. A far cry from last year when Porzingis was booed as the Knicks picked him fourth overall."

That deal between the Kings and the Hornets is terrible for the Hornets.

That's not an NBA dribble or great quickness from Simmons. Looks raw to me. Not even mentioning the J.

I'm not impressed with the dribble or quickness either. I realize he's long so any drive is good. But isn't that like his bread & butter? Weird.

Again, personally rooting for Dunn to Wolves. That would be a hell of a core. Really hoping he doesn't end up in the Atlantic––I want to root for him.

If he's really 23. What would be the point of him lying about his age? I'm confused.

Simmons always goes left. Let's hope this is good for Philly. Not sure I want Boston getting a guy like Okafor.

He's much more valuable as a 19 year old then a 23 year old...

Not sure if this is my infatuation with undersized guards coming to fruition, but I'd love Tyler Ulis. He has a similar skill set to what IT had coming out of Washington.

older players don't improve much, while the young guys still have room to do so.
