    Whoever drafts Giannis Adetokunbo will be picking him to come to the NBA right away, teams tell me. He has no interest in being stashed.

    Oklahoma City is exploring drafting and stashing a European prospect at 12, but none of Schroeder, Karasev or Adetokunbo are interested.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo insisting he won't go back to Greece next year. Wants to be in NBA now. That's scaring teams away in the lottery.

    Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 2m
    Antetokounmpo is 1 to 2 years away from playing minutes on a NBA team. That's a very expensive D League player.

    His new contract actually makes it easier for him to come to the NBA right away, not more difficult. RT @serevei Stash Lucas Noguiera then?

    The Cavaliers are choosing between Nerlens Noel and Alex Len at No. 1. If they pick Len, Noel could drop to Suns at No. 5.

    If the Rockets can't find any European prospects who are willing to stay overseas it's very possible T-Rob isn't traded tonight.

    I dunno, that seems to be quite a lot. I haven't poured over all the past drafts, but for whatever reason I have the impression that if a draft generates 10 good/great players then that's a pretty good draft class. Sometimes I feel like drafts don't produce more than 2-5 good/great players.
    I'm going to have to go look back at past drafts...

    I think if you pick CJ as a starter then it might not make sense. But we had the worst bench in the league last year and he is instant offense. I guess it boils down to if you are ok with using the 10th pick for a bench player that could crack the starting line-up at some point?

    Cleveland has reached out to Portland to possibly acquire the #10.

    That would be sweet. I wonder what the asking price is. Would you trade Leonard + #10 for #1? I like Leonard, but I would do that. It would really have to be for Len though.

    Cavs still burning up phone lines exploring trades for top pick and other picks as well. #NBADraft

    A few names to watch later in the first round are Ricky Ledo and Ray McCallum.

    If Cleveland misses out on Karasev it sounds like Reggie Bullock UNC is the backup choice at wing. Would grab him at 19. #TarHeel #NBADraft


    Seems high to me. But I dont know his game that well

    I think I'd take Oladipo #1. Unfathomable a few months ago.

    Not sure I would, but I don't think you trade Leonard in that case, unless you have another center coming in.
