Two drafted rookies? And do 2-way contracts count? I’d put the odds of 2 drafted rookies at like 1/3…if undrafted guys count and 2-way deals count I’d say 2/3

Gambo ruled Collier out FWIW.

Interesting…top 3 were Gambo’s first 3 guys in the Gambo 5…Gambo said no to collier and filipowski

Cam is 100% a role player you could win it all with, he's just overpaid

So Brooklyn could possibly get how many first round picks from Durant? 10? Jfc.

My wild guess would be we draft Kolek or Dunn, though if Edey somehow fell to 22 I would become apoplectic if we passed on him. I don't think Edey lasts that long, though; my guess is he gets drafted in the teens. You can make fun of me if all of this ends up wrong, since I don't really know anything about college basketball or the draft.

The Knicks may be desperate for a big so if there's one available at 22, maybe we can drop back to 24 or 25 and grab Dunn and Kolek. But things would have to shake out perfectly and they'd have to think us or Milwaukee would take their guy.

Of the Gambo 5, my rank would be this


1. Da Silva

2. Missi-ssippi

3. Kodak

4. Done

5. Where

Edey to Utah at 10 has garnered some steam.

Ya they are almost definitely losing Hartenstein…22 for 25/38 would be nice…though Kolek/Dunn wouldn’t make it to 38. Utah at 29/32 would be the only shot to get both and you’ve gotta be ok getting neither as they both could go mid 20’s…

I wonder what it would take to get 24/25 from NY…can’t imagine we have the assets for that. They’d need to absolutely love someone at 22 that we or Milwaukee would take.

A lot of people think Denver promised Holmes, but could it be NY? He’s not a true big, but does he work alongside Randle?

I actually meant 24 and 25 from the Knicks. It'd be a long shot but if they love someone like Missi or Ware as a backup to Mitch or even a future starter, they may be willing to consolidate the picks to move up. I don't see them drafting 2 or 3 guys tonight.

I might be OK with 24 and 37 if we do something like Dunn and then Shead in the 2nd round.

I've watched enough of Ware to feel like he'd be a wasted pick. Not much motor or work ethic. Not a winner. Not a ton of BBIQ. Was outscored 59-16 in the two matchups against Zach Edey this year. He's just another Marquisse Chris.

I don't really get the hype on Dunn either. Terrible shot on a miserably bad offensive team.

I just feel like this is the year, more than any, not to overthink picks. If he was a standout in college, draft him. If he wasn't then don't.

I expect both him and Da Silva to be drafted before 22.

Is it really necessary for us to wait for the draft to make fun of you?

Any bold predictions for tonight?

Mine, I think Missi goes top 12 over Edey.

I’ll say someone considered a top 10 guy will be on the board at 22 and we’ll pass
