Brett Brown said they're drafting for fit. Jackson s not really a scorer. Tatum, Monk and maybe Fox seem more likely.

Rawle Alkins coming in for workout. Embarrassingly underrated on DX.

Josh Jackson or Jason Tatum. They needed a wing. fultz needs the ball and so does Lonzo. they're probably going 1 and 2. Philly gets their pick of Tatum or Jackson. who they probably wanted more than Lonzo or Fultz

The suns get which one they don't pick and then Sac is up and idk how they can screw it up.

Like if the kings don't pick one of Fox, DSJ, Monk, Frank or Issac I'll be shocked...even for the kings.

I'm going on a limb and say the Sixers trade it for Jimmy Butler and go hard at Kyle Lowry in FA.

Seems similar to Bacon based on description alone.

Damn I know Toronto has alot of Lakers fans but checking my Twitter timeline you would have thought raptors got the 2nd overall pick with people celebrating

Yes just ignore the other really good players he's taken in the lottery lol. No one bats 1.000 with draft picks

You mean the picks daddy made for him while he was with the Suns? We haven't seen him do anything great on his own.

Colangelo's Draft Record:

1995 - Michael Finley (21st)
1996 - Steve Nash (15th)
1997 - Stephen Jackson (42nd), No first round pick
1998 - No first round pick pick
1999 - Shawn Marion (9th)
2000 - Jake Tsakalidis (25th)
2001 - No first round pick
2002 - Amar'e Stoudemire (9th)
2003 - Zarko Cabarkapa (17th)
2004 - Luol Deng (7th)
2005 - Nate Robinson (21st), Gorat in the 2nd round
2006 - Andrea Bargnani (1st)
2007 - No pick
2008 - JO Trade (Turned out to be Roy Hibbert)
2009 - Demar DeRozan (9th)
2010 - Ed Davis (13th)
2011 - Jonas Valanciunas (5th)
2012 - Terrence Ross (8th)

Say what you will about him, but he has a pretty damn good track record at the draft.

There was no can't miss talent in the 2006 draft. Colangelo himself said Roy would win ROY but the team was worried about his health, and we already had Bosh, so LMA was kind of redundant. The Ross pick is widely attributed to Casey. Colagenlo wanted Barnes but we missed it due to Casey, Stankface, Ben Uzoh and the subsequent coin flip.

If you are tanking, then you should make your coach aware of it and tell him you are not going to loose your job. From what I remember, he wanted to tank to get Anthony Davis, not Barnes.
