IIRC, last year's draft wasn't supposed to be anything special at all. And really as far as top picks go, it wasn't (fultz,ball). So, judging by last years draft (tatum going 3, mitchell going 9 etc etc), who knows how good this draft can be.

Mitchell was 13th.

Was thinking dennis smith. Even better!

Ayton said he is only working out for the Suns and knows he is going #1.

After Ayton and Doncic yes. Then again Bamba talks like he is a 10 year NBA veteran.


Polished and impressive as hell when you hear him speak.





Hawks gonna get a good one no matter which they take.

I fear my Sacramento Kangz will not develop Doncic. I would prefer Bagley, but I'm a crazy guy who thinks he'll be the best player in the draft. Dude is so so so damn good.

Not like they could go wrong with Bagley either. So much good talent early on in this draft that I can see any one of 5 or 6 guys being the top player overall and that doesn't include the possibility of a Donovan Mitchell popping up from out of the woodwork.



Something about Bamba that makes me think he'll be a beast. Maybe not a superstar but a defensive nightmare who will develop into a reliable scorer, an upgraded version of Capela in Houston.

I've really started to like Bamba. He reminds me of a better...taller...version of Capela - which is scary. Plus, he can shoot a little.

But, he can't be effective if you don't have elite guards with ridiculous passing skills like Harden and CP3. At least not at this stage...he is very raw offensively.

IMO...my top 5 in the draft as of right now:
Doncic
Ayton
Bagley
Bamba
Jaren Jackson

I think all 5 are really good players...and if Porter's health checks out...he's as good as any of them.

I love smart, high IQ players. Bamba just gives you great awareness defensively and just an overall bright guy on and off the court. If he puts it all together he could be really scary. At minimum I think he will give a team a guy that can clean up others mistakes on the defensive end and simply own the lane.

Kings fan here. Should I be excited to land Doncic ?
