I know in my heart of hearts that Brooklyn with the #17, #27 and #31 picks, will draft better players than we will with our three picks

I think WOJ has been told to not leak the picks

Last year he technically complied by tweeting stupid **** like "New Orleans fancies the idea of Zion at #1"

I wonder who Boston will be titillated by this year?

I don’t know why, but I’m really surprised that Zion is only 6’ 7”. Can he really carry all that weight without injury long term?

Exactly what I've been thinking. Even if he's 6'8, he's gonna need to lose around 20 pounds or the stress on his joints and bones is gonna be crazy..

I say no. He may end up being a huge bust because of it. He's going to be the second heaviest player in the league when drafted.

Should do that for all NBA news. Boston fascinated by prospect of signing Nikola Vucevic to 4 year, $109.6 million contract with a 10% trade kicker and $750k in performance incentives

Will guarantee you that Brooklyn doesnt draft a player better than our picks at 17 tonight.

It came out yesterday that Woj is going to leak the picks before they happen

R.J. Barrett may end up being the best player in tonight's draft... thus Atlanta's attempt to move up. Zion is the same size as Gronk when pictured together. My guess is that he's 6-6.5 I read that Zion's high school didn't have football, so he never played it.

I have a sneaky sense that Zion will be pretty super for about 6-7 years and then slowly become less consistently dependable.

6-6 280lbs plus practically an NFL defensive end. Imagine that running back and forth and jumping/landing/slashing/cutting with all that weight. Still I'd take him but you have to wonder.

Basically, a Big Baby Davis......... only better.

I almost doubled the number of posts from the second most shameful wall member.. Can I get a mod to suspend me for a few hours while I reflect on my life and choices

Can we agree to at least use spoiler tags tonight if we share the pick before it’s officially announced

Here's what mine says:

Celtsfansincebirth has the quick feet to jump higher than Zion, but scouts say hitting the snooze button could be an issue

Well....I do like that snooze button.

Everyone post there's and we could do a mock draft in an hour.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm going to just generate reports for the next 20 people who post after me.

DarthCeltic has the standing reach to inspire Drake's next basketball tattoo, but scouts say hitting the snooze button could be an issue

That risk hasn’t really been talked about at all this draft season..

They don't own the 17th pick, it's used as a salary dump to the Hawks.

Would you Be In Favor of a 3rd Round to the Draft?
