Thx for posting this. It was a good read. The guys I've been most high on Isaac, Monk and Fox held up well. I'd be satisfied with Monk at 8 and shocked but ecstatic if we got Isaac. I'd be fine with Nitty tho he scares me a bit.

DraftX has us picking this dude in the second round. Reminds me of Tony Wrote. The athleticism is there but the J is broken.

I like this kid tho. He's got some nice 🔺qualities. Needs work on the jumper but has Defensive potential and some passing as well.

I also haven't ruled out Luke Kennard. I think Phil wants to find a way to grab him in the 1st rd.

I like Sumner as a D-LEAGUE stash. The athleticism is there and it's just a second-rounder. I think we'll get a second-rounder too. Teams are just waiting for the big deals to clear. The landscape has changed so much in a few days.

20 minutes to go....

About that time!!! I've been going back and forth for weeks, but if Isaac is gone, Take Dennis Smith...

I hope Monk, Smith and Lauri are gone when we pick. Don't want any of those guys
StarksEwing1 @ 6/22/2017 7:54 PM
Butler to twolves
Uptown @ 6/22/2017 7:55 PM
Jimmy Butler traded to Minny...Bulls with the 7th pick!
WaltLongmire @ 6/22/2017 7:56 PM
Celtics take Tatum...tells you that they were not willing to wait for Jackson to develop a shot, I would think.

Me too but only because I'd love the other guys to drop

So they have Brown and Tatum, not sure what they are gonna do
Two consecutive third picks play the same position

Celts lacked another reliable scorer other than Thomas..If Tatum can;t do anything, the one thing he can do is score the ball...

Brown is a SG...no? Tatum a 3.

Jackson is a great pick for Suns...can defend and pass, and that team can wait for his shot to come around.

The new NBA is positionless for the most part...They can play together in spurts...

Bulls trading up in front of us, likely changes that pick from a F to G? Bulls want Monk?, hopefully we get Isaac?

Orlando is reportedly taking Isaac...Figure that Bulls take Monk or maybe Smith?
