    Bamba, Ayton, Doncic, Trae Young, and maybe Collin Sexton are all potential All-Stars. Bagley has a shot too. There's a handful of guys that will absolutely be role players or starters in the league in Miles Bridges, Troy Brown, Khyri Thomas, and Zhaire Smith. That's already more than many drafts. There's a bunch of bigs that I'm not particularly high on, but others are. That's not to mention guys I personally like that I expect to have decent careers like Gary Trent Jr., Donte DiVincenzo, Aaron Holiday, Landry Shamet, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, even Ethan Happ could end up on a roster.

    This draft isn't even as weak as 2014 was and that's pretty recent. Hell 2013 was weaker than 2014 even and this draft blows those away.

    Last year was the strongest draft in a long time, but this one isn't awful. Do some research. There's good players to be had.

    I really think Mikal Bridges is going to be a stud 2 way player out of Villanova. He's projected to go anywhere between 7-12. I'd hate Philly to get a player like that who could have been our guy even though I'm not sure we need another wing player given the route we're going.

    I like Bridges a lot. I think he'd be a good fit on the Kings at SF sandwich in between a Fox/Hield backcourt, C Cauley-Stein and then either Skal or a healthy Harry Giles at PF.

    Yeah I figured you didn't actually do any research to give your opinion.

    Suns blatant tanking was rewarded

    I think Luka goes #1, cuz if not Sac/Vlade will take him. So Ayton to Sac.

    I'm laughing at Dallas right now...its almost too perfect that Cuban admitted to tanking and as a result Silver drops him the max 2 spots from where they were most likely to pick at. But they still have a shot at Bamba and maybe that deters them from throwing their cap at Jules.

    Also if the Nets lost one more game, maybe they take Sacs spot and jump to #2. Bron is gone!

    that actually made me sick. I do not care about the 10th pick going to the Sixers. They can have it....Lakers have enough young 19 year olds. Time to get vets and win titles again.

    I'll give a mock draft either tomorrow or Thursday, but this was a mostly neutral move for us. It's possible that Dallas now reaches for Young or even Sexton maybe, but there's a glut of bigs that ought to be on the board around there.
