Anybody think Gilgeous-Alexander could be a less athletic Dejounte Murray?

Mocks are starting to suggest Sexton could go to the Bulls.

I guess they aren't sold on Dunn?

So, if we take Shai, I hope he doesn't go the way of Carter-Williams.

But, I would be cool if he projects as a Dejounte or even Caris Levert.

Those guys still have a ways to go.

But, you can see they can be much better down the line.

interesting counter to Lonzo Ball size wise...

The plot thickens for Milwaukee.

Apparently, their pick to PHX is protected 1-10 and 17-30.
The sixth seed would be #17, as it is right now, so they still have their 1st rd pick.
If the Bucks lose and Miami wins, Miami would claim the 6th seed and the Bucks would fall to 16 and they lose the #17 pick.

If Bucks lose and Miami lose, they stay at #17.

I'm guessing they don't want to lose that last game....

I have a thing for tall Point/Combo guards.

Still looking for the guy that can be what Shawn Livingston would have been.

Or, maybe I'm still hung up on Magic Johnson.

He and Shaq were just unhateable players even though they wore the colors of the beast.

It's official @Bolts.

Mikal is in like we knew he would be.

I already love this kids attitude.

He wants to be the next George or Kawhi, a great 2 way player.

Wow...his Mom works for the 76ers?

Hmmmmmmm, isn't that Lakers pick in his range?
They'll either finish 10th or 11th pre lottery, which is in range but there's a good chance he's gone in the top 8. They have enough assets to make a move up for him and he'd fit that group perfectly going with Fultz, Simmons, Embiid, and Saric. I want the Kings to draft him because he has that potential but there's some concern about his ability to create for himself and take over games.

Thunder get no worse than a 6 seed by beating the Grizz in OKC tomorrow night. Can get to the 4 if the Jazz beat Golden State tonight and then lose in Portland tomorrow night.

Still lots to decide in the playoff race. Will make for a fun end to the season.

It rolls over with fewer protections so it’s not a huge win if they move it forward a year. If I’m milwaukee, I’m ok with giving up #16. Could be a lot worse, especially since milwaukee is effectively a one man team. Giannis goes down and that pick could very easily be top 5 at some point in the future.

Plus, there is the tallest midget, Stuporbowl game between the 2 LA squads on the last day.

I have a feeling your boy Porter might slip to 5 or 6.

A better tallest midget game would have been Brooklyn vs NYK. Winner is crowned king of NY with a record of 29-53

I'd be happy with Porter, but also concerned. His ceiling is too high for them to pass on, the Kings need a superstar.
