    I don't believe it's all fixed or anything, I just think it's stupid that they leave it up to a "ping pong ball" to determine who gets a pick. I think it's really strange how adamant they are to keep it behind closed doors too. So it makes "bad TV?" There's a lot of stuff on TV that makes "bad TV", it's more than that.

    lol. then the tin foil hat wearers will come out and claim the video is doctored. If they didn't allow media members and a representative from each team in the room then one might question it, but for all the years it has been done this way and the many many individuals that have been in the room over those years satisfies me that it's legit.

    Fair enough. I'm always of the opinion if you don't want to make something appear "shady" then do it out in the open. There really isn't much of a reason to hide it. Oh well. Least LA didn't get the number 1 pick heh.

    Random Thought: I think Zion could grab the top of the backboard.

    Should've read the fine print! He needs solid people around him. I know someone who does that sort of thing...

    Hope Goga uses that as motivation. That would really suck...

    I'm confused... Goga Bitadze... (had to google that) just came out of the Serbian League.

    Why should sitting next to the most famous future rookie create a chip on his shoulder? IMO He should already have one.

    Of course, he should have one, but he could be a 1st round draft pick and that should be one of the better days in his life and instead, he gets stuck sitting awkwardly at a media day with no one talking to him, that is exactly the type of stuff that athletes use as fuel.

    He should use the fact that his parents named him GAGA as fuel!

    He would have made himself an instant legend if he slid over to Zion's table and joined the media pool.
