2021 NBA Draft Thread(Lottery is tonight 8:30PM EST)

jrg must be giddy, his Magic have picks 5 & 8. GSW have 7 & 14, Rockets have 2, 23 & 24, OKC has 6, 16 & 18.

so Lakers eventually end up with the players chosen 5th and 8th, huh?

Sorry dude.

If I have to do mock right now:
1. Det - Cade (clear no 1 imo)

—— small drop off in talent

2. Hou - Jalen Green

3. Clev - Jalen Suggs

4. Tor - Evan Mobley (he's my no 2 guy but drops bc Houston has Woods and Cleveland has Allen)

—— some dropoff in talent

5. Orl - Jonathan Kuminga

6. OKC - Scottie Barnes

7. GSW - Davion Mitchell

——big dropoff in talent

Orlando is in a really bad position in the draft. They don't need point or defensive forward. I think they try to move up if they can since they have another pick in top 10. Just my 2 cents.

I'd be giddy if they were picking top 3. Big drop off from 4 to 5 from what I've read.

At least HOU keeps their pick

Any generational talents in this draft? Havent been looking at college ball

That's what I'm hoping for.

I gotcha, I couldn't remember the teams who fell out of top 4, ORL had great odds, I still don't understand how it works, and how the f**k does the Cavs keep getting such high picks.
