Memphis at #2 means Conley is very much in play (unless they love RJ).

Zion doesn't look that excited about it lol

There are a few teams getting #1 that would make it feel rigged. New Orleans is one of them.

It better be the Knicks. I couldn’t take Zion going to the West.

I like the actual outcome even better. Mostly because I am not a fan of the Lakers or the Knicks getting even more attention and it seems somewhat less rigged like this. Dunno why but I do actually hope AD stays in NO now.

this hurts because we weren't actually tanking and were still that bad last year .;.

They didn’t even show the mock for PHX because that’s how much the pick doesn’t even fucking matter

I'm happy for Gentry though ..

I should offer Superbone the chance to unmark it.

Obviously this is the worst possible outcome for the teams looking to trade for Davis - If he isn't tempted to stay in New Orleans with Williamson and Holiday, you know it's not about winning, it's about money.

Really disappointed with the Suns picking 6th. Drawing for the top four picks is just too much if two of the three worst teams get pushed down to #5 and #6.

What were our odds of getting 6th?

Same

It sucks that we ended up 6, but from a big picture perspective, I’m happy how this turned out. Hopefully it helps stop tanking. And this is actually a draft I’m ok being 6 in...assuming we didn’t land top 2. I see no difference from 3 to 6 and actually like guys in that range(Clarke, Hunter, Culver, Garland) over RJ. At least 2 of those guys will be there. If we keep the pick.

This also gives us a little more cap space. The pick isn’t as good of a trade chip now, but we’ll see what happens.

Totally looks rigged. New Orleans gets rewarded for AD trying to leave. And LeBron/Lakers get help.

That was our most likely spot of any of them—a 26% chance.

Well at least Randle is totally available for us to sign now!

Can’t wait to sign Randle and Aminu and go on to lose 75 games only to get the 5th pick next year

that is a good point

No team slipped by more than 3 slots. But 3 teams moved up by at least 6 (Lakers moved up 7--mother fuckers)

Nope, when I made that prediction, it didn’t rely on Zion. It stands!

I think AD goes to Lakers now. If I’m NO, I ask for Kuzma, Hart, Ball and #4 for AD. Then draft Culver at 4.

Ball/Holiday/Culver/Kuzma/Zion is a nice young core.
