I just said the Knicks are drafting Toppin. Since the Cavs didn't take him, The knicks seem so obvious now.

Things look good now but sadly, I think the guys we want will get close but just ahead of The Magic.

Hayes to Detroit, saw this coming from a mile away. Sad, guy has talent, and I expect he will be good to great. Congratulations to Detroit for getting a damn good PG.

Probably at the end of the 1st round, Toppin is not that good

Don’t get excited. The order is just shuffling. By the time we get to our pick, we’ll be left with a choice of bigs and highly flawed prospects. It’s the magic way.

I think The Magic will have some swingman to choose from.

Believe Haliburton, Vassell and lewis will be gone unfortunately.

Thank you Knicks. Thank god they have spared us from the possibility of drafting another 4! I am surprised Tyreese is still on board...please give me my dream player to play next to Fultz. That offensive potential with all of that play making and our transition offense would be monstrous.

Guess I'm staying up until the Magic pick at least... Wasn't sure I'd have the energy for it but it seems fine.

I have a fresh approached to the draft this year; I didn't do any research/form any opinions. I'm just gonna look up all the scouting reports/videos after we know who the guy is (or guys are) and try to be optimistic and excited with whoever. My feel for the draft has been crap in recent years anyway, so this way I at least avoid being bummed out tonight, or later when it turns out the guy I liked on draft night disappoints me *cough* Hezonja *cough* Bamba *cough* ...

I'll probably not look at the board too much until after we've picked, since my stream seems a bit behind (or at least behind twitter).

Hope you guys have a great night and we draft a guy the board approves of!

Still a chance we trade AG to Minnesota, they still need a 4, and AG would be big for them. 17 would be a nice acquisition for us.

If deni Avdija is still on the board after the Knicks I will be stunned.
Well, the Knicks always find a way to screw themselves up.
