[Vaselclean]

Hope Justin Champagnie get drafted. I'm glad he declared.

Pitt "fans" are such haters.

This is one of those years where if you don't walk away with a rookie two-way by Sunday, you're not interested in developing talent.

Kispert dropping to 21

Wizards should not be taking a big man out of Turkey take Murphy or Duarte or Kispert

Warriors definitely acting like they are going to draft both picks this year. I honestly don’t think they have the trade capitol to do anything else.

Gonna be a lot of teams in the lottery looking to trade back in the draft.

draft falls of a cliff after the top 4.

They’res not a big difference between the 5th best prospect and the 15th

I mean there’s an apparent gap in perception after you get past Barnes and Kuminga (which would make it a top 6 and not 4), but I think it’s definitely disingenuous to say those two are closer to Jalen Johnson or Moses Moody than Jalen Green and especially Jalen Suggs
