[d2bets]

Exum may fall to Lakers at 7?

[d2bets]

Exum to Utah

[d2bets]

Boston should take Randle, but probably takes Vonleh.

[KRIT]

Just hit all 3 of my props: Exum O3.5, Embid U5 and Vonleh O5.

[thetrinity]

Boston should take Randle, but probably takes Vonleh.

Agree

[ChalkyDog]

Thank god, no Exum. Gordon/Vucevic.

Would love to see them take Ennis at 12 but doubtful, hope it's James Young...not Harris or Stauskas.

Are you an Orlando fan?

[ChalkyDog]

Vonleh wont get past the lakers and Sac town is keeping its pick.

[thetrinity]

Dads galore, has to be a record

[KRIT]

Thinkin Julius to the Celts.

[Cuse0323]

Are you an Orlando fan?

Yep...wanted Gordon all along as he was my 4th best prospect.

[ChalkyDog]

Marcus Smart

[thetrinity]

Smart 6th. Agree with ESPN guys rondo gone-doe

[d2bets]

Lakers have to take Randle.

[KRIT]

Not sure about the Smart pick. Tough call between him, Vonleh and Randle.

I can't help but think of Smart as a better version of Tony Allen.

[ChalkyDog]

Yep...wanted Gordon all along as he was my 4th best prospect.

Interesting. I had the same grade, but thought I was being a homer.

You got a really good kid.

If he doesn't improve at all, you get an elite defender who can guard 4 through 2, is a specimen of an athlete and Character for days.

[ChalkyDog]

Stauskas to Sac. Town.

[KRIT]

Good pick by Lakers. Zbo part duex.

Now we are getting into that next tier of players: Stauskas, Harris, Hood, Mcdermott, etc.

This is where it gets tough. Vonleh should be one of the next couple picks.

What?????

[d2bets]

Stauskas to Sac. Town.

Vonleh for sure.

[thetrinity]

Good pick by LA we need a trade soon

Definitely, I love his game. The front court in Orlando is looking great for the future. Now Oladipo at the 2, with Harris/Harkless at the 3 we really just need a PG. I wish it was Ennis but I doubt it. May just take a shooter and keep trying VO at the 1.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

good pick for the lakers.

[d2bets]

Stauskas to Sac. Town.

Looks like you're right. Wow.

I pray the Bulls get a look at Ennis or TJ Warren. Doubt it, but who knows.

[d2bets]

Nah. Rodney Hood and/or Jusuf Nurkic

[KRIT]

Stauskas to Sac. Town.

Pretty gutsy pick after failing on Fredette. I do like Stauskas, think he can be a good player if he can defend.

[d2bets]

I wonder if Sac picked Stauskus for the Bulls. Otherwise, very strange choice.

[crustyme]

stauskas = bust

[KRIT]

I wonder if Sac picked Stauskus for the Bulls. Otherwise, very strange choice.

How is it strange? Other than Cousins, Sacramento needs anything they can get.

[thetrinity]

I'm not crazy bout this pick myself

[KRIT]

This is where the draft gets tricky. That tweener area. Not huge difference between #10 and #25.

[Cuse0323]

I pray the Bulls get a look at Ennis or TJ Warren. Doubt it, but who knows.

Love Warren as well. Such a deep draft, hard to go wrong. Ennis to the Bulls seems possible, they need someone behind Rose but he may fall into the 20's unfortunately. Warren is built to score in the league.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

mcdermott next?

[d2bets]

Philly ain't gonna take McDermott. He wouldn't fit there.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i guess jordan lied.
