It's Draft Day!

Unlocking this now.  I will be attending Lollapalooza so will be unable to update the big board tonight but staff will try and help to maintain the board as the picks come in. 

Lastly, if you want to go back and see how well or how poorly your past draft predictions went, feel free to talk a walk down draft thread memory lane here.

Here's to hoping the C's at least make a small move by moving up in the 2nd.  It would be nice to pick up someone that fell out of the 1st.

Kinda expected

Perk is such a terrible analyst.  “Best prospect since Lebron”?  Lol

Good luck to Cade!

[Goldstar88]

Please stop comparing Cade to Luka... 3.5ast per game and he has the passing ability of a Luka Doncic. Smh.

Insanity. Anthony Davis and Zion would like to have a word with Perk.

Also, if we could keep the posts as spoiler-free as possible, that'd be great. Post links to spoilers if you want, but no actual spoiler content in the post. Many don't want to see them

I think the Middleton comp that someone mentioned was good.

Exactly, Cade had more turnovers per game than assists last season.

He's a bit more dynamic than Middleton I believe, but it's a good mid-tier comparison. Not a high-level ceiling for him though

Granted but he's Middleton like...

Amen 🙏

Why is the last crop of former Celtics all such bad media guys? Perkins, Pierce, Garnett, even Scalabrine isn’t the best.
