How are we 2.5 hours in and only on pick 18??? So will our pick happen at midnight? Jesus

Could Wolf fall to 28?

I agree.  Will it be 2 more hours before we get to the C's pick?   This whole event is WAY too long.
Clayton took about 15 min to get up on stage, it was like he won an academy award.  Get this show moving!

you sound like this is your first draft.  first round always take forever and a day.  doesn't help that the league seems to milk the time between picks to get the green room invitees lots of camera time

Bulpett said the Celtics were interested in Kasparas Jakucionis in a trade up, he?s still on the board.

He?s still available with 8 picks to go.

Ah, stupid Miami. He wasn?t likely lasting until 28, but was hoping it?d be another couple of picks so that we could possibly use a 2nd or two with 28 to trade up to get him.

Of course Pat Riley took him. Doesn?t sting as bad as the Tyler Herro pick since he was t going to fa to us but that?s great value at 20.

Feels like they?ve also slowed it down since they split the 2nd round to day 2. They used to fly through the picks in the mid teens and now we are seeing full features on the players.

I think this would go so much better if they didn't invite any of the players to the draft.  maybe fill time between picks with a player's highlight reel.  no foot dragging on players going to the stage or getting interviewed

6 more picks to dodge for Danny Wolf to make it to us.  And we?re now in the range where 32 could let us jump a few spots.

Idk a lot about Wolf but from what I?ve read sounds like a pretty interesting selection if he falls.  Looks like a skilled player at about 7? and 21 years old.

He?s the closest thing you?re going to get to Larry Bird. No, he?s not going to amazing like Larry, but he has a two syllable name that ends with a ?Y?, his last name is a one syllable animal, and he?s a white guy who?s  not a particularly attractive

Asa Newell would have been nice..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I?m a big Kalkbrenner fan but it would be better to get him at 32. Would be happy with Danny Wolf though. Rasheer Flemming is still out there as well which could be a nasty pick at 28.

he is skilled, but his defense, i read, is pretty poor.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Fleming has a 7-5" wingspan and can shoot the 3, and is athletic...
could play some minutes at the 5.  Could get a lot of minutes as a backup 4 while tatum is out.

Ace Bailey has such an attitude that he's upset about going to Utah.

Having that attitude and not having played a single NBA minute? Ooooof
