The NBA Draft is coming up quick.

Larry doesn't have the greatest track record though. He does have Granger, Paul George, and Stephenson but then again he also picked Miles Plume, Tyler Hansborough, and Shawne Williams amongst others. He has been hit or miss but when Larry hits in the draft, its a darn good player

I know a lot of people hate him. But for where he was taken Hibbert should be down as a really good pick. Dude was legitimately the best defensive force for about a year and a half

It depends if you count Hibbert as a pick. Technically the Pacers traded for him.

Hibbert made the top ten in pacers history!

I mean, not really. There was a trade in place, and the Pacers told the Raptors who they wanted. 90% of the time that is how it works in the NBA when trades like that happen

The Pacers probably made the pick. It happens pretty much every year. Two years ago we saw the T'Wolves take Trey Burke then the Jazz take Bazz and Gorgui Ding and swap. That was setup. Last year the Magic took Dario Saric and the 76ers took Elfrid Payton and swapped. That was setup. I also had the 76ers taking Saric and the Magic taking Payton originally. I guess it happened in a way.

Same thing happened with the Spurs and Pacers years ago when we picked Kawhi Leonard for them and we got George Hill

My stomach churns every time I think of this...

[Lt. John McClaine 541]

I doubt Kawhi would be the player for us that he is with the Spurs, plus we already had Granger and just drafted Paul George and needed a point guard.  I don't look back on that trade too much and consider it a loss.

Well I would. But we also had O'Brien as coach at the time. I don't think PG13 would be the player he became without the coaching change. But I'd love to have Kawhi. Having PG wouldn't change anything. It is best to draft by best available usually instead of by need. I'd have to look back and see what PG's were taken after Kawhi if they were wanting to go by need.

Is it true that D'Angelo Russell doesn't want to play for the Sixers? As a sixers fan, I really don't want the foreign guy or anyone else really outside of D'Angelo Russell, Jahlil, or KAT

Porzingis is a wild card like most players coming over. But the 76ers will draft by whoever they feel is best on the board.

[Crimson and Cream 5,878]

The Sixers drafting Porzingis would change the entire lottery, which would probably end up helping the Pacers. So I implore them to take Porzingis.

eh. Most likely means that the Knicks won't be trading down any.

[Crimson and Cream 5,878]

Knicks would then likely take Russell which means Mudiay slips to the Kings at 6 which means it's very possible someone (WCS if he isn't drafted by Magic) drops to 11.

I could see the Magic stretching for a player like Myles Turner(while playing Tobias and Gordon at either 3/4 spot). I don't see them taking a C with Vucevic already there. Could also take another forward like Johnson or Hezonja.

Wow! Much respect for Sam Dekker, he straight #sonnedem

Isn't tyus jones too small for the first round?
Also, I'm pretty confident that Devin Booker will get drafted in the top 10.

Too small? Not at all. He's 6-1. Needs to add some muscle but that isn't uncommon for rookies.
