Now that the Lakers winning the championship is old news, it's time for the Draft. I miss those Blazers prediction games, so why not do one for the NBA Draft? Predict the top 14 picks of the lottery next Thursday. Just thought it'd be fun since we all claim to know what we're talking about. Rules: - Copy and paste the draft order, and make your picks. - This is based on order of selection of the players only, and won't take into account trades between teams. Just to make it easier. - You can make, edit your picks until the day before the draft. Then I'll lock them in and save them. - Point system: (3 points for the right pick, 2 pts if one pick off, 1 point if two picks off, 0 points if three picks or more off) - Tiebreaker: Guess the number of trades the Blazers will do in the draft. Closer one wins without going over. - In case of another tie, we'll go in order from top to bottom pick by pick to see who was more right. Let's see who knows the draft this year. Draft order 1.
