    Eh, he’ll end up in LA like the rest of the Magic centers of past.

    I was just thinking the same thing...Orlando will waste him unfortunately...

    But with Bamba AND Isaac AND Gordon...pretty crazy length and athleticism there. They badly need a PG though...could we see Vuc for Schroeder trade happen?

    Wendell Carter here at 7 is a good fit and a solid pick. High floor big man that fits well with Markkanen.

    This Lavar foot locker commercial was awful. Why do that to Gelo as he goes undrafted?

    Agreed... Vuc for Schroeder makes a lot of sense now for both teams. The center position is extremely crowded for Orlando if they don’t it with Vuc, Bamba and Biyombo.

    Also why pair Trae Young with a side show? That kid is a top 5 pick. :D He's too big to be outshined by those bums.

    Damn...the Cavs are gonna get Michael Porter...that sucks because he is somebody that in a trade, could maybe net a superstar player in return based on his potential (he was the CONSENSUS #1 pick before he got injured!)

    Cavs going to select Collin Sexton. Big, big mistake.

    I love Sexton's fire and tenacity, but he's not a guy I think will be easy to build around. I'd trade down here or probably go with Porter or Knox even.

    Carter Jr. to the Bulls means that the projection of Mitchell Robinson @22 to the Bulls won't happen. Mitchell could be there for us at 25. Wonder if we wait till 39 to draft him tho.

    You guys, keep filling the rest of us in with the picks....really appreciate it!

    I question his head when he compares himself to Durant and The Greak freak and then in the same interview says he's lucky to be compared with those guys. DUDE, you are the one who made those comparisons.

    Sexton really earned my respect with his competitiveness, but he's like Russell Westbrook if you cut his athleticism by 20-30%. He's not a great shooter or decision maker.

    I don’t trust the Cavs pick at all, even though I’m not super familiar with Sexton, they suuuuuck at drafting.
