    There's so much that could go on with the top 10 picks in this draft. There have been countless rumors on who's going where, what teams could be trading up in the draft, what teams could be making moves to get solid veteran and be giving away key draft picks in return...There is so much that could happen when this draft occurs. I personally love just watching the draft unfold and seeing players get picked to teams and thinking about how well they fit in and where the teams will use their draft picks. It's a lot of fun to see the young talent come into the NBA. Anyone else pumped?

    Yeah, this year I'm pumped. No one really knows who's the 1st pick this year, nobody really knows how the lottery goes. Every year, I'm only interested in who the Wizards draft. But as you said, since there's so many draft rumors this year it keeps me interested which players other teams will pick.

If I were to use a word to describe the situation of the lottery picks, it would probably be random. Nobody knows who will definately fall 1-7.

    Yeah, I can't wait until draft night. I'll be on here making a live update for everyone not watching. Its really hard to project exactly who will go where. You can never truly believe rumors, so itll be pretty exciting to see who falls where.

    I'm definately pumped for this upcoming draft, it's the only thing keeping me in NBA mode still. Offseason gets really boring at times, and you take any crumb(rumors) you can and run with it. But that only lasts for so long. Definately anticipating where Morrison lands and one of the first years Mavericks have 2 picks in the draft.

    This draft is going to be great, I hope teams keep it quiet as to who they are picking so their is drama going into it. The last few drafts we have known who is going in the top 3 or so picks. This year it's so upsidedown you don't know if the Raptors are picking Morrison or Bargnani. Maybe this draft doesn't have great players but it's going to kick some ass. :happy0144:

    This will be the first draft I will have watched. I missed last years because I was on vacation and the year before thats because of something, that I now forgot.

    I have a feelin' the Raps are gonna pick up Aldridge..But no I'm not really excited for this years draft...As long as you have a Top 10 pick you're gonna get the same calibur player...I think there will be some solid NBA players, but nobody amazing...No Kobe's...no T-Mac's....no Shaq's...I don't think you're gonna find your franchise player in this draft...

    I guess I'm excited to see what Billy King does with the Sixers pick... he has a decent draft history, but the possibility of dealing Iverson on draft night is really strong, and I just want to see how horrible of a trade King will make for the Sixers.
