Thunder will not be drafting a guard lol

Marshall!!!!!! Oh snap and Rolly!!!! Next year Knicks and Heat games all 4 you 2 guys
Pacers getting Jarace and Leonard Miller, this would be outstanding!!
No way I take Miller over scoot
as a pistons fan, this is the dream
Lively at 10 is a crime. Man shouldn’t be anywhere near the first round.
ME
No Oscar Tshibwe??
Who ever get scoot is the winner 🏆
SH
Anthony Black going Top 5
ME

I love Hood-Schifino and Bufkin.
Mavs go with Cason Wallace if Hendricks is off the board. Irving could be a sign trade this Summer? (Lively is a huge reach at 10, despite the need at Center)

There is no consensus Miller goes two, silly to say
I hope the Mavs land one of the 6-9 guys or trade down
The lottery itself has become de-valued. The “one-and-done” initiative has completely contributed to this fact and the evidence is overwhelming. These 18 and 19 year olds with limited basketball experience and overall life skills has deemed the lottery a useless method to advance a franchise rapidly.
For players with 1 year of college you’re looking at on average 5 to 6 years of basketball development, acquiring emotional intelligence skills, and learning the right mix of nutritional and physical training habits to avoid injuries. Recent examples that come to mind are the growth of Jamal Murray and Markelle Fultz. In each case, it has taken nearly 7 years for them to become the product they were projected to become as high lottery choices.
