Wanted 2, but 3 is great. Just pick whoever falls, can't lose. Defintely prefer Wiseman

I think this is their way of rewarding us for not allowing us to compete there. I am not THAT happy about moving up but at the same time it gives us a good chance at either Ball, Hayes or Haliburton which I want

These are who I want with our picks in order

Edwards is most likely but he is also probably the best fit for us so not mad at all

We are the first East team picking so that's nice. Hopefully this is the start of something great.

Funny how things fall:

The Wizards had the 8th-worst record in the NBA but got 9th lottery positioning because lottery records don’t include bubble games. If Wizards were 8th, they’d be top 4.

I truly hope we don't go Wiseman or Edwards. I would rather Wiseman out of the two but I would rather neither out of the 3.

I almost threw up while watching. I totally expected us to move down and so glad that we moved up.

How is this even real? Last time this happened was Baron Davis. Would be awesome to land a talent like that again. Best case scenario is Wiseman but in our situation you take BPA and don’t look back.

Also our eastern conference friends fell behind us!

Also did ESPN have enough commercials before announcing the top 4? Holy hell

I respect your passion for gems and "outside the box" thinking in your draft crushes, but come on..... Hayes or Haliburton at 3 is not logical.
