    I do. I dunno. Like him every time I see him. Still only 21. Reminds me some of Al Horford, I dunno. He seems more of a sure thing than anyone in the draft, and still young.

    I think if they want to, and they may not b\c they want to preserve cap space....then there best bet especially for this draft is to wait and see what is on the board at certain trade opportunity points\teams willing to deal thier pick...

    Clippers aren't expected to trade Eric Bledsoe tonight despite interest from the Raptors, Pistons, Pelicans, Magic and Mavs, sources tell Y!


    But if ORL takes Oladipo\McLemore...it would sure look like he may be going to ORL in short time...

    The NBA Draft has been ruined by Twitter. Unfortunately, we're past the point of no return on that.


    True? or not? I don't think it has been...just more speculation\possibilities?

    I was going to shave to get ready for tonight, but then I remembered that I don't have the ability to grow facial hair #draftdreams


    haha. I hope we don't draft him, but that's funny

    I just don't like how Woj announces the picks 2 mins before Stern. It's both pointless and kills the little suspense involved in watching the show. And it's not like you can avoid it, cuz everyone retweets it.

    I think he's defensively challenged but an absolute beast. The Turkish Kevin Love (without the threes). Strong as an ox.

    #10 is kind of No Man's Land. All the good players have gone so you've entered the gambling zone. I prefer further down where you're prepared to take solid contributors and they end up being better, because most of the gambles flame out. But if you want to gamble, take Schroeder. Everybody who writes about him gushes. I think he'd be ranked higher except none of the numbers guys know what to do with his German League stats.

    Celtics, Nets deal has reached ownership level, league source tells Y! Jason Terry joins Pierce and Garnett in package, source says.

    Not draft related, but screw it, this is like a catch all right now

    no, I get ya. It seemed odd last year, like, why are you bothering Woj? Just let them announce it. But at the same time, I realized I don't really care to listen to the draft guys all that much on ESPN anyways, so while I am watching to watch, following more for other rumors, so wasn't bothering me a whole ton.
