It's draft day so I'm opening up this thread.  I'll try to update the big board in real time for the first round tonight. 

As always, let's try not to play spoiler and tip picks before they happen on here. Not everyone is on Twitter.  Tipping picks will result in ramifications.

Feel free to revisit past draft threads going back to 2008 to see how right or wrong you were.

I’m bumping this as I think it’s meant to be a game thread and the draft has begun.

Man, Wemby is tall and lanky. Looks like Slenderman out there.

Was Adam Silver a villain in any Batman movie prior to becoming the commissioner of the NBA?

Yup

[Phantom255x]

Very curious to see who the #1 pick will be this year!

The hyperbole by espn already flowing

He was in Alien.

Wemby seems like a good, mature kid. Glad he's going to SAS.

Portland going to have dame and scoot

[jpotter33]

What in the world is that Spurs guy wearing?

[jpotter33]

Portland going to have dame and scoot

Feel like Dame asks out if they don't trade the pick for an upgrade. They could maybe spin Miller as a position of need, but Scoot just does not fit on that already guard-heavy roster.


They don't ship him out, I think Dame is gone.

It’s a shame TNT doesn’t have a broadcast of the draft. Espn is terrible

This draft coverage is atrocious
