Doncic.

Seriously, though. How the eff did Western Kentucky land Mitchell Robinson?

Physically.

Skillwise he's bad, just sooooo raw. He's 6'11 and has a 7'8''ish wingspan, but gets outrebounded and offensively he had a very small role. Everytime I watched Westtown I came a bit more impressed by Cameron Reddish and a little less by Mohammed Bamba.

Sucks that both Bamba and Ayton could be playing the 4 the majority of the game.

Early on, I'm team Ayton. I think he's the complete package. Him getting to develop under Sean Miller in Arizona makes him even more special.

Mitchell Robinson might be better than both of them, though. I wonder if he'll even be on TV, though. Western Kentucky, what was he thinking....

Not sold on Porter at all. Looks super slow to me every time I watch him. Doncic also looks underwhelming to me when I watch him play.

DeAndre Ayton looks like he's 30 years old

Right now.. I'm happy we're done tanking. I don't like this draft, in general and specially in regards to team fit.

This is a good draft when you already have alpha and beta core players in place and is looking for that third piece.

That face when your agent tells you 'The FEDS' want you in Philly and you never heard about the meme.

I'll take Mikal Bridges in the mid- to late teens, please.
The epitomy of a 3&D wing, well experienced/mature, phenomenal measurables, great athleticism and solid BBIQ.
The perfect complementary back-court partner for Fultz.

Anyone think LiAngelo Ball will even get drafted?

Lavar doesn't seem to think so either.

Wait until Lavar starts his Liangelo promo campaign ...
I think he might just convice Magic to acquire the 60th overall pick for his boy

Ive heard Lavar say he will have his kids sign free agent deals to play for Lakers if they don't get drafted. :lol:

Dudes probably serious though.

He probably saw Simmons (and eventually Fultz) go #1 and figured he could put up gaudy stats at a small school too. Probably win more due to his talent and the lesser competition.

What returning freshman are we most excited about seeing develop as sophomores?

I can't wait to see Robert Williams develop more as a scorer next year.
