Who would your bet be for a late-lottery/1st round star a la SGA, Donovan Mitchell, Kawhi, Giannis, Jimmy Butler?
Rory Maher
7:58
I don't know if he'll be a star, but I like what I've seen of Jaime Jaquez. He seems like he's ready to contribute right away.
8:00
Hendricks going No. 9 to Utah.
8:01
Will the Mavs take Whitmore or Dereck Lively No. 10? Or trade the pick?
Ted Knox
8:01
Longtime Spurs fan. Just wanted to throw in my excitement for the Spurs and for Victor. Long time since there has been this much joy for the Spurs. I wish Victor all the best as he starts his NBA career.
Rory Maher
8:02
Nothing to add, but happy for you.
BR O OK LYN come again
8:02
whitmore falling further than you thought?
Rory Maher
8:04
Some reports said he didn't perform well during workouts and may have had a medical red flag. His assist-to-turnover ratio was very poor as well. So no, not exactly surprised he fell.

2 second rounders also In Trade going in to Pacers.
Josh S.
8:04
Is there a trade for the Wiz? Draft feed still shows the Wizards selecting Walker at 8.
Rory Maher
8:05
The trade just isn't official yet.

Cole Anthony can play PG so no need to Trade a Guard.
Rory Maher
8:06
Isn't Anthony Black a point guard? What about Fultz?
8:08
Thunder trading up to No. 10 to take Cason Wallace, Dallas getting No. 12 and moving off Bertans' contract.
8:09
Interested to see more details on that one. Seems like a great move for Dallas if that's all it is.
Guest
8:09
I guess Dallas feels like their man will still be around at 12 and they get off Bertans contract. Not mad at that

Black can take time to grow his offensive game in Orlando… while helping the team defensively.
Steve
8:10
It seems like the magic have a lot of guards who can’t shoot
Rory Maher
8:11
They definitely have a lot of ball-handlers with size and defense, but shooting isn't a great strength of the roster in general.
8:12
Well, they just drafted a shooter, but not the one they were expected to be after. The Magic definitely keep their cards close.
Selecting Michigan's Jett Howard No. 11, not Gradey Dick or Jordan Hawkins.
8:14
8:15
In case it wasn't clear, the No. 11 pick was Chicago's but sent to Orlando as part of the Vucevic trade a couple years ago.

RE: Vuc ... the always popular lose-lose trade
Rory Maher
8:16
I definitely don't think the Magic lost that trade. Franz Wagner is very good, and Carter is on a team-friendly contract.

Dallas getting Lively

Think the medicals weren't pretty for Whitmore?
Rory Maher
8:19
Is he even going in the lottery at this point?
Adam
8:19
Magic win both ends of Vuc trade. Acquiring for Dwight Howard and trading away for Carter + picks (franz / jett). Vuc has been good to that franchise
Rory Maher
8:20
He certainly has been. Plus he was a good player for them too.
Sam
8:20
Magic won the trade, but they bombed this draft. That franchise will never win.
Rory Maher
8:20
Who would you have taken instead?
Sam
8:21
Trade up for scoot, or draft walker and Dick.
Rory Maher
8:22
It would've taken a lot more than Nos. 6 and 11 to get Scoot. Prospects wise, fair enough.
Cam Whitmore
8:22
What happened to my value?!
Nick
8:22
Think KJ got his answer on who's going to drop?
