    Yeah, bad idea. I don’t suppose you west coasters would want the first round to start at 6pm ET instead of 8? That would help.

    I would agree with you if the NFL was not getting any sort of ratings for rounds 3 and beyond. There is a lot of bad TV out there.

    I think if they want to extend it to 2 nights, they should expand it to 3-4 rounds, now that every team has their own G-League team, you can figure out some system or level of "control over rounds 3 and 4 G-League guys, and whether it's normal like now, or if it's something like you can only protect X amount of players on your G-League team, to encourage call ups.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it lottery on night 1; and 15-60 on night 2

    I suppose diehard fans would still watch it. As a prospect though, I wouldn’t like it at all. It means guys like Bol Bol would’ve sat the entire night of the first round on tv. He wouldn’t even come back to actually go up and shake the commissioners hand cause most second rounders aren’t even there, so would there even be a live version of the 2nd round?

    I personally wouldn’t watch it, as I already stop watching after round 1 anyway, and I don’t think many under the age of 30 would be watching. I think you’re overestimating the amount of bad tv there is, and that’s all subjective. Way, way, too easy to be entertained these days.

    That’s not to say I’d care if it became a 2 day draft. Making the draft 1-2 hours earlier wouldn’t matter to me either.

    That might be interesting. That would kind of be fun. I actually enjoyed those covid drafts where we got to see a small backstory for each prospect.

    Not sure if that would mean any non lotto teams’ fans would tune in to night 1. But a lot of NBA fans tune in for the players and not their team. I’d still like this format even if the Blazers weren’t in the lotto.

    I'm not convinced they aren't tanking on purpose. Watched a few of their games. Pop coaches better than that.

    Isaiah Collier sure seems like he'd fit well with the rest of those young guys on that team.

    No Pop does not. He was gifted those championship teams. He's the most over-rated coach in the league in my opinion.
