Oh good, I thought it was too much risk TBH.

I know it's possible w/MKG dropping to 7. But would show how dumb NBA teams are.

They haven't been exciting since the early Vince days. They should trade us Derozan and leave me alone after that.

What a dumb ladder thing they just showed.

The NBA markets itself terribly.

Here's my mock

1. Anthony Davis
2. Brad Beal
3. Harrison Barnes
4. Thomas Robinson
5. Andre Drummond
6. Damian Lillard
7. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
8. Dion Waiters
9. John Henson
10. Austin Rivers
11. Tyler Zeller
12. Moe Harkless
13. Jeremy Lamb
14. Terrence Ross
15. Terrence Jones
16. Kendall Marshall
17. Meyers Leonard
18. Royce White
19. Marquis Teague
20. Andrew Nicholson
21. Perry Jones III
22. Jared Sullinger
23. Evan Fournier
24. Arnett Moultrie
25. John Jenkins
26. Draymond Green
27. Festus Ezeli
28. Jeff Taylor
29. Will Barton
30. Tony Wroten

I don't see Waiters being there at 8. His draft stock has skyrocketed.

He's a defensive big. Nothing wrong with that. Hope he goes to Indy. There's no way he's worse than Lou Amundson.

That one year with Bosh when they were the #3 seed was fun but yes for the most part they have been brutal. I survived those terrible years Indiana had so I can survive what Toronto is going through right now.

It is risky but those are both really talented guys. But if both slide to us it's more likely that Danny takes one of those guys (most likely Sullinger) and then a relatively safe perimeter player like Doron Lamb or John Jenkins or something.

Houston pushing Charlotte, Sacramento hard in trade talks, sources say. Rockets badly want to get into the top-five.

With Indy you knew they'd get better. Toronto though? For how bad they are and how long they've been this bad, they sure are lacking the young core with tons of potential you'd expect from that situation.

Been talking about this a little in the bust thread. EVERY bust big man gets described that way. "Oh, rebounding and blocking shots at least he can do that!" That doesn't keep you on the floor or in the league. Thebeet could do that too. Patrick O'Bryant. Melo kinda sucks and has attitude problems. But you're right in that the mock is probably wrong about him falling out of the first round. Heard a rumor within the last hour that he could go lottery.

Bradley Beal has emerged as the clear favorite for Washington at No. 3, sources say.

[Nimreitz]

LOL at "emerged". He's been that since the trade last week. The news now is that they'll take Robinson if the Bobcats trade to 4.
