    Wow - look at the people involved in that workout! Adams, Gobert, Caldwell-Pope, CJ...

    Pretty much everyone but Giannis who was actually good in that draft in just one workout. Either Neil got really lucky or he knows what he's doing.

    Fact that he brought in 60 dudes for workouts this year is staggering.

    If NO really does have the golden gut, then it would make sense to keep as many picks as possible. Even if you trade the players later. I hope we do.

    Drafting Meyers in the lottery, having Parsons turn him down, extending Meyers, shows he's lucky

    Meyers Leonard is so abandoned we can't even use him as an example?

    So philly takes fultz, and Boston takes Jackson at 3. Ball or fox at 2. Right?

    Sounds about right. This tweet made me laugh.

    I have no idea why you would pass on a guy like Fultz. Dude is about as clear cut a star prospect as it gets. Can't wait for this to blow up in Danny's face

    Danny believe he got guards and he really likes Jackson. So why not trade the pick 2 spot down and get future draft choice with it sound a good move.

    Yeah I posted on realgm a few months ago that Ainge would be the one guy with the balls to take Josh over Markelle. Has the mental makeup he looks for but I think the talent gap is too wide to pass up.

    Looks as if Draftexpress just changed their mock again. Now have us taking Justin Jackson, TJ Leaf and Isaiah Hartenstein

    I honestly don't know what to make of Hartenstein. Some people are trying to put him on the same path as Dirk just because he's German. Dirk lit it up against college competition. Hartemstein didn't do much against high school competition. I only saw one game but I wasn't impressed.

    Trying to remember - when did Cho get fired? Notice that Cody Zeller is part of that workout and the (then) Bobcats ended up with him. Are we sure Neil arranged those players?

    It would require him getting rid of ONE of Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Isaiah Thomas, Terry Rozier, and probably at a discount. That's a lot of disruption for the #1 team in the East. Meanwhile this way he's getting great value and a player who can fit in with what they're doing right away.

    Fultz has shown he can be a star on a terrible team. Not sure Brad Stevens is that interested in that.

    Right. I watched a video of Dame's pre-draft interview as well and somehow got them conflated. Senility.

    Don't bother with these mocks and who they have us picking - at positions 15-26 there is a huge state of flux and it could play out all kinds of ways, bothering to give any thought to anybodies GUESSES on those picks is IMO a waste of time
