ImageBamba is such a well spoken guy. A really bright kid with a great head on his shoulders.

I can root for him to succeed on whatever team he goes to. And he will succeed as well

One of the smartest humans you'll ever see on a professional basketball court. Very impressive interview.

But aren't you worried about his injury potential?

Extremely. Ugh. I am going to have FOMO big time when we draft Ayton.

I will definitely be rooting for the kid and I am looking forward to seeing what he will become in the NBA no matter where he ends up. For that matter, the top 5 will be very interesting to follow and I would even add in Young as I currently have no idea what to expect from him.

I really like Bagley, I would have loved for him to be the top guy for us, but it would be hard to take him over Ayton or Doncic. His defense is a big question mark.
And Ayton’s isn’t...?

Actually Ayton made the Pac-12 All-Defensive team.

I'm not saying there aren't questions about him, but he's a much better defensive prospect than Bagley.
The criticism of his D is that he’s not a great rim protector. It would be nice to be able to pair him with a PF who is.

Have to decide on someone. I would take Bamba #2 though, and its not really even close.

Very impressive young man. As others have said, I’ll root for him wherever he ends up.

Wish we could trade down and grab him.

Not as much as Bagley.

Hope they can add another top 10 pick or bring in Trae for a workout?

https://twitter.com/DaveKingNBA/status/1005639538197164033 I think it was INF who pointed out McD didn't include JJJ when he mentioned the top candidates for #1 at the combine. He did mention Porter then, but it doesn't look like Porter is getting a workout.

I wonder if this draft is either insanely more talented than other drafts, or if having the number 1 pick just makes you second guess more. I havent been so excited about so many different players in any other draft I can remember, except maybe when Lebron was drafted.

I do feel that this is an exceptionally deep draft especially at the top.

Yep, how I feel as well. I think a lot of teams are going to be very happy with who they get.
