Still hoping Brad gets back into the first round. Several teams have multiple picks, seems like there could be some deals. I'm holding out for one of 23 or 24, maybe still grab Garuba!

Well, I'd suggest that is the case for 99% of the players drafted. Just the ones in the lottery stings a bit more.

some good PGs still on the board. Butler, McBride, Springer, Cooper
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I would move Romeo Langford for a pick because I’m not high on him. I know that’s not popular. Celtics would never do it

Oof, the protections on that pick Charlotte traded are rough. The Knicks just got straight up robbed.

Yeah, there's just so much value still on board. I don't like missing out this year, especially with the talent left in late first/ early second and the potential to get a guy on a good rookie deal.

good pick by pistons. now you have a core of cade at the 1, keon/bey on the wing, jerami grant at the 4. keon is raw but high upside, good type of pick for a young/rebuilding team. good value at 21, most mocks he has going top 15
