    Oklahoma City has to be frightening Atlanta with threat of selecting Greece's Giannis Adetokunbo at No. 12. Hawks have long wanted him.

    Many people think his future is at the 4. He just isn't physical enough to play center.

    We're hearing from league sources that Nerlens Noel's knee was red flagged by Suns. There's speculation that he could slip out of top 10.

    Last minute subterfuge to get him to drop a spot or 2 or legit?

    Even with the knee, POR would be crazy to pass him up at #10, wouldn't they?

    I hope we don't take Noel.

    Probably, but after Oden and Roy I doubt Allen would sign off on such a pick.

    If the Suns red flag it, then you know it ain't good. Maybe smoke to have him fall to them tho lol.

    At least Zeller is a skilled big man and not some high-risk project like Leonard or Adams

    Biggest ? marks for me in Mock: Cavs at 1. Bobcats at 4. Pelicans at 6. Thunder at 12. Mavs at 13. Carter-Williams vs. Burke in NO so close

    Little chance of Magic parting with no. 2 pick

    I find it funny how people now think this draft sucks, when last summer I saw all these people saying this draft was going to be great. Last summer guys like Zeller, Shabazz, etc were supposed to be top three. Funny how things change. Maybe next summer's draft won't be so great either after a years time.

    He does have some skill but plays much smaller then his size. There is no way he is a center and I think there are better 4's in this draft if we wanted one.

    There's something to that ... still, I don't think that skill is going to show quite as well at the next level.

    I am in full agreement

    the kid is so slender, I dont see him as a 5, if he were not injured, he could play a 3 or streach 4.

    latest draft scuttlebutt I'm hearing: Cavs still looking to move top pick. If they take anyone but Alex Len, it could be part of a trade...

    Chris Broussard‏@Chris_Broussard25m
    Also hearing that Toronto is looking to grab the No. 2 pick. Not sure who they're targeting, but Oladipo is an educated guess....

    Blair? Lots of "DNP - Coach's Decision" in the playoffs.

    I actually have a good feeling about Cody Zeller. Not the case with Steven Adams.

    Shabazz or Zeller wouldn't disappoint me

    I dont want Shabazz. He seems like a supreme knucklehead who only cares about himself. Doesnt seem to have the work ethic to be great.

    I don't know how much you watched Shabazz play but he is the one guy I wouldn't take over Zeller. He has ever red flag you can name. He is lazy, can't dribble, streaky shooter, bad attitude and lied about his age plus has a other issues I won't name because people will jump all over me.
