My neighbors here in MN are wondering what the heck happened as I screamed yes! at the top of my lungs, and a few expletives.

I think he'd trade back a couple spots to take him, ala Boston.

Hope you get the next Ewing in Ayton but I think you'll draft Doncic, who will be a stud as well.


That is interesting thinking of Booker/Jackson as Houston/Spree...seems very similar.

I agree. Cannot complain about number one pick, but number 2 does alleviate of number one being a bust.


I don't think either will completely bust but I think Ayton is the riskier roll the dice pick given he become Nicola Vucevic or the best center in the league depending on his mentality.

Gambo says he has heard it will be Ayton, pending individual work outs. Works for me!

Step 1 - get the coach - check
Step 2 - get 1st pick - check
Step 3 - draft Doncic
Step 4 - trade or sign a center who can play defense and rebound
