If you're into investing, just buy the rookie cards of whoever gets picked after my Kings' selection. HOFer for sure

Patrick Williams is someone to really look out for. I see a Ben Simmons-type that has a better offensive game.

Not in this draft class - but damn...
"There's a kid named Victor Wembanyama, who's maybe the best prospect in the world. He's 7'3 with almost an 8 FT wingspan. He blocks shots like Gobert and he shoots like Porzingis. He can handle & pass. I've never seen anything like him."

He's 16...wouldn't be surprised if Gobert looked like that at 16.

Rumblings around the league suggest Golden State and Charlotte covet Wiseman; to get him, the Hornets might need to leapfrog to trade up. The pieces exchanged here resemble the Celtics-Sixers deal in 2017 involving Markelle Fultz and Jayson Tatum, but hopefully it'll work out better for Charlotte than it did for Philly. Wiseman's athleticism gives him a foundation to be a solid pro, and he has plenty of traits that could lead to stardom.

This... it's kind of a crapshoot this year. There could be some diamonds in the rough after said lottery picks.Originally posted by TheXFactor:Originally posted by 4ML:Rumblings around the league suggest Golden State and Charlotte covet Wiseman; to get him, the Hornets might need to leapfrog to trade up.

A lot of talk that Ball's stock is dropping due to poor interviews. Could all just be smoke considering he had been ranked the #1 prospect for awhile, now. Wondering if he's doing this on purpose so Minnesota and GSW don't take him. He may want the bright lights of MSG.
Probably not a good time to play mind games with someone like Tyrell Terry shooting up draft boards.

I don't blame him for Minnesota, why the hell wouldn't he wanna be in GS, and why the f**k would anybody want to be on the knicks? This isn't piling on the old joke. They are a horrible franchise for decades and the bright lights of NYC just aren't a real draw anymore.
