If the Bulls don't win the Zion Williamson sweepstakes, he's my next choice. Explosive point guard. Your thoughts? |

Has the NBA GM thought train completely transformed that in the first few picks in the draft should mostly be a guard or swing man? Years ago 7 feet got you to the top (Curry) no matter what. |

It's always been(or should be) BPA regardless of position. |

The first 2 picks in last year’s draft were both over 6’ 10”. |

Luka or his camp allegedly told Divac that he didn't want to play in Sacramento. I think that had something to do with it also. There were rumors circulating as to him doing that. |

Letting a 19 year old with no NBA experience push you into making substandard draft picks is pretty embarrassing. I thought it was obvious at the time Luka shoulda gone number 1, there's no excuse for taking Bagley over him though. |

Bagley may not be as polished as Doncic, but he’s not Sam Bowie either. |

The Kings are looking set up real nice in the future. |

Not sure he will surpass Barrett, but I wouldn't be shocked. He looks awesome, but is playing terrible comp so hard to say. I watched him vs Auburn earlier in the year and he looked really good. Tried to watch him last week, but he turned his ankle 30 seconds in so didn't bother with the rest of the game. Doesn't appear to be a bad sprain cause he was right back at it filling the box score this weekend. My dream scenario is ATL gets Zion to link up with Trae and JC and Bulls get Ja to hook up with Lauri and Carter. At least then the Bulls will finally be fun to watch again. I would also be happy with Zion in Chicago, but then we really have no worthy guards. |

I still laugh at the D1 coaches with bigger programs that didn't have a spot for him. |

Not sure its worth laughing at the programs that didn't realize this guy was gonna be great when no one saw it coming. Besides, if you really want to laugh at stuff like this laugh at DePaul for not recruiting two guys who WANTED to play for DePaul, Tim Hardaway and D Wade. |

reviewing some highlight tapes, he looks like a real poor man's DRose. |

I think he's a better shooter than Rose at this point in their careers. But like I said, I only saw him once and don't really watch highlights. |

Had an ex who went to Murray State (button 48). Went down there for a football game and they have a "racehorse" run around the track that circles the field after scores. Was corny as hell. This was back when Houston Nutt was the football HC, before he ended up at Arkansas. The great and ugly Popeye Jones went there. That's your Murray State sports update. |

Now back then if Tim was from New Jersey, Joey would've been all over him. Made no sense because Terry Cummings would've been a big booster as a fellow Carver alumnus. Missing on DWade was just laziness.

so ive heard this is a three player draft.... maybe there is a 4th... a lot of the focus has been on the minimal change in percentage for the #1 pick as the bulls keep winning.... but im a little more concerned about the increasing chances their pick will not even be a top 5 pick
