     I did pretty well pulling out an unofficial 101 if I scored it correctly, nailing Mr. Irrelevant Greek Freek Jr. put me over 100.

    As a Lakers fan not too happy with the Mo Wagner pick aka Mr. Channing Frye 2.0 and he adds to our collection of non-rim protecting bigs.  They could have gotten him in the 2nd round, I would have rather took Bonga in this spot to save cap space.  With guys on board I was hoping they took one of the two rim protectors Robert Williams/Mitchell Robinson or shooter in Dzanan Musa.

    I like their second round though.  It moves too fast to say who I would have taken that was on the board, but going into the draft I hoped they landed one of these shooters in second round Gary Trent (taken two picks before), Rodions Kurucs, or Svi Mykialiuk and they got Svi.  I also love the Isaac Bonga pick as I have been high on him for a long time now, though he never shot up draft boards like I thought he would.  I think he will be the best pick in the long run for the Lakers out of this draft as I think he has a very high upside.  Swiss army knife point wing.

     As a Laker fan I am disapointed we took Svi over Gelo

       I thought they were going for Gelo at 47. Oh well.

     Gelo is not an NBA player he is garbage and no need to add another Ball.

     For Boston,they tookaplayer whoIdidn’t think would even be there. Perfect fit for what Boston needs. A real Rim protector. Deandre Jordan 2.0 IMO.

    A+for me.

    Though I wanted a trade up for Bamba, Boston got a simalr player without giving up a single asset. Way to be patient Danny Ainge.

       Great pick, best player available by a wide margin and filled a need. Good drafting meeting luck is always great. He’s risky, but has huge upside. Could take our D to crazy high levels. When you have maybe 4 first round picks next year, you take that gamble. After Okogie was gone I was hoping for this or trade down.

     as a laker fan, im not too happy. I dont know much about bonga other then he is a tall wing. But i just feel like we needed defenisve minded guys, especially with caldwell pope most likely leaving. Instead we went all in on offense with mo wagner and the svi guy from kansas who i know is a knockdown shooter. I did have wagner going late first so i dont think hes a bad reach, just not who i had in mind. I guess if he could replace brook lopez and compete for the starting center spot, it might be worth it.

     The Heat didn’t have a draft pick this year but getting Duncan Robinson and Yante Maten to play for our summer league team isn’t too bad as well. Only got 93 this year sigh.

     My Spurs did pretty well drafting bpa in their spots, but the winners of the draft are hands down Mavs and Clippers…

     Wagner is a good pick Laker fans.. Dont be dejected. A 7 footer with heart and a 3 ball – hes worth the pick.

     Unoffical 94. They need to change the points for 2nd round picks, I say this every year. It’s harder to perdict the picks for the 2nd round so why should the points be less?????

     

    I’m a Laker and Hawks fan…

    I like the Wagner pick, he plays hard, nice jumper, we’ll lose Randle and Lopez…

    Hawks-High risk high reward on ALL the picks..either the GM will look brilliant or the franchise will be the Cleveland Browns of basketball for the next 5-7 years.

    Haven’t scored mine yet but I think I did decently. Most of my mock lottery picks were either correct or just a pick or two off. I also got some weird ones right, like Aaron Holiday to Indiana, Dzanan Musa to Brooklyn and Elie Okobo to Phoenix. I completely missed the mark on pretty much all the college seniors, though, and I had Jerome Robinson pegged as a second rounder. My second round was pretty off, too. I had Duval going 34 and he went undrafted. 

    As for my team, I’m not surprised the Wizards took Troy Brown since they were really high on him in his workout. It’s not what I would’ve liked, though. Clearly Robert Williams and Mitchell Robinson had enough question marks to fall as far as they did, so I’m not upset we didn’t reach for a big man. However, I would’ve preferred that we use the pick on someone like Zhaire Smith or Lonnie Walker.
