IMPT- Should I watch the draft on NBATV or ESPN?

Who's watched a draft on NBATV before? This is my first year with that option. I'd imagine that it's more comprehensive, but that it has less personalities commenting and offering analysis.

Which do you prefer?

I would prefer ESPN for a couple of reasons.

First, they'll get the news about trades/rumors much faster with their many insiders everywhere during the draft as opposed to nbatv waiting to get it from espn. (they dont like to talk about rumors, only when things become official, then do they release the information)

Second, they may be BSPN sometimes, but they'll tell you the good and the bad of players.

Remember, nbatv is the network for the nba, they NEVER say anything bad about player/league/officials...they try to keep everything clean and on the up and up, they wont rip anyone (whether valid or not) but at least espn will somewhat 'tell it like it is'

Basically nbatv will say every team is on the right path to winning and they are all doing the right thing, when in reality we know that's not all true.

Plus, cheese doodles...c'mon need I say more?

So those are just a couple of reasons I would choose ESPN.

I agree that watching a draft live requires a neutral source.

if rick kamla is involved with NBATV's draft coverage then you should probably go ahead and watch it on ESPN.
