Still need the Lakers to lose to one of Houston or Clippers. Looks good on paper but who knows who will actually be playing.

They have to win both games and the coin flip. Possible but unlikely.

Looks like Houston playing to win

I'm not sure why Dantoni played Harden 18 minutes in the first half of this game but I'm not mad at him for it.

I'm not going to even assume this draft pick is locked in already. I just ran the Tankathon lottery 10 times and they had the LA pick going to Boston at #3 on one of the spins. That said, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high on this pick until it actually materializes in May.

Are the Rockets trying to lose this game? They were up 16 with 5 to go. They are turning it over on every possession.

Trevor Ariza just shot a transition 3 up six points with 1 minute left and 20 on the shot clock.

I just watched the crappiest quarter of NBA basketball of my (non-process) life but Rockets win and Sixers got that tenth pick.

Now may I never have to see Zhou Qi-Travis Wear isos ever again.

Ecstatic with 10. Was really thinking 12-15 for a while there. Like last year, looks like a deep draft. Thanks Lakers.

I know many of you are hoping this team drafts Mikal Bridges, but I keep thinking that BC should take a long, hard look at Collin Sexton at #10. While Fultz does show some promise, I feel like Sexton would be a superior backcourt mate to Simmons. Sexton can create his own shot, has great athleticism, plays with tremendous energy on both ends of the floor, can play both guard positions, is a great leader, is a good shooter, has great handles, seems to have that killer instinct that all great players have, and has a high bball IQ. Obviously, that means that Fultz would likely need to be traded, but if you can get back something fairly decent in exchange, I say go for it.

I realize this is a very contrarian view that will likely be shunned by many, but I feel like Sexton could end up being the best player from this draft.

Sexton is an OK prospect, I wouldn't describe him as great in any area except as a competitor, and he's certainly not a better prospect than Fultz. I had issues with his shot earlier in the season but he's been better there, his real issue going into the NBA is that he's a ball-hog and when it boils down to it a bad distributor/passer for a ball-dominant guy. Do not want.

Seems like a perfect NY-player

Decision making is erratic and shooting is below average. He can get to (and finish) at the rim and plays like a dog but I just wouldn't see the point with Fultz here already. Honestly I like DSJ more than Sexton.

If we get the top pick would most of you want to keep the pick or trade it for a player? If you keep it who would you want?

It depends on the offer obviously, but I’m for trading it in the right deal.
