yeah it's hard to argue that. Only thing that we can even realistically say as Bucks fans is that in 5yrs 27yr old Giannis is the best player in the NBA.


I'm sure Lakers fans will agree about their franchise player. :-?


Bite your tongue sir. Giannis is a Buck for life because he and Thon are gonna be super stars together and everything is gonna fall into place. #optimismwins

Can we stop referring to Fultz as a generational talent?

If the wiretap at the top of the page about the Celtics moving down again to get Dennis Smith is true Ainge certainly agrees with you.

Ainge is going to get his guy and load up that asset sheet in the process. Exciting for the fans.

Ainge shouldn't feel the need to trade down. Just take DSJ third. He won't regret it.

Have always thought DSJ being mocked between 7-10 was ridiculous. Dude has an easy chance to be the best player in this class. He's everything you look for in a point guard in 2017.

Celtics fans are really blessed to have Ainge. Jesus.

Ainge is a really good asset accumulation guy. Haven't seen much evidence he can draft though. Kinda similar to Hinkie actually.

Of course he's kept a good team while accumulating those assets. Pretty impressive. Which is hard for me to say considering he's probably my most-hated player ever.

I like DSJ, but I also feel like he could be Steve Francis - have some good years, but never really do anything with them. A comparison that, truthfully, I had never Googled/found until just now and apparently I'm not alone in the comparison. I just hope he isn't a hollow stats guy...I think he could be.

Reminds me of Kemba.

Pretty sure he can.

John Hammond and Orlando might rather have Josh Jackson or LaVar/Lonzo Ball than Johnathan Issac or DSJ at 6.

Man, I'm strongly considering Isaac if I'm picking 3rd. I'm probably nuts.

Speaking of Hambone he has two firsts and two seconds in his inaugural draft with a Magic. Any chance he could throw his boy Horst a bone and we could get 33 or 35?

Kevin Pelton's "A" grade mock (what he would do in each team's position):

1. Lonzo
2. Fultz
3. Isaac
4. Josh Jackson
5. Dennis Smith
6. Tatum
7. OG Anunoby
8. Fox
9. Monk
10. Zach Collins
11. Mitchell
12. Markkanen
13. Giles
14. Tyler Lydon
15. Hartenstein
16. Ntilikina
17. Josh Hart
18. Jawun Evans
19. TJ Leaf
20. Anigbogu
21. Bolden
22. John Collins
23. Semi Ojeleye
24. Kennard
25. Alec Peters
26. Aleksandar Vezenkov
27. Jarrett Allen
28. Ferguson
29. Jeremy Morgan, Northern Iowa
30. Caleb Swanigan

48. DJ Wilson


If we draft Hart one spot behind Ntilikina and in front of TJ, Ike, Bolden, Collins and Kennard I'd blow my brains out.

I would have zero problems at all with Hart at 17.

Don't see anything to work with offensively with ike. Bam isn't polished but he's shown flashes of solid post moves around the rim. Plus Bam works extremely well on the pick and roll.
