He said 2nd best draft... I assume nfl #1. So #2 is nba draft, but what competition? I love MLB, but the draft is boring to me and only nhl left

NFL has the best draft. NBA rosters are much smaller so the immediate impact potential is far greater in basketball. Big trades happen during the draft too.

It's basically all college players now. You have foreign players sprinkled in, which will always be the case, and a lot of the college players are young, but it's pretty entertaining. I mean, it obviously has a much quicker impact than the MLB draft, and does anybody care about the NHL draft? Doesn't seem like a controversial statement to me.

Wherever his expert agent/daddy tells him to go.

Ben Simmons just proved you don't have to go to UK, KU, Duke, UNC, or play in the tournament to be a lottery pick.

Damontas Sabonis #11 Magic, Hawks just traded for the 12th pick

Taurean Prince #12 Hawks, Teague traded

Hawks got a college senior projected to go bottom of the 1st or 2nd round for Jeff Teague. YES!!!!!

Big trade just happened. Sabonis, Oladipo and Ilaysova go to Thunder for Serge Ibaka.

Prince is a good player and a phenomenal athlete. Hawks have more money to spend on a free agent now.

We will apparently be using that money to bring back Horford and Bazemore. Prince is fine, but he doesn't move the needle on a team at all.

Great trade for the Thunder. Phenomenal.

Georgis Papacantspellhisname goes #13 to Kings in a trade. Chriss goes to Suns. Bognadovich to Kings also.

Yea they got two 2015 starters for the Magic and a very good Sabonis plus an extra $5-10 mill a year.

Great pick. I think Kris Dunn to the T'Wolves is the steal right now.
