1. Durant – Obvious 1st pick 

2. Harden 

3. Davis

4. Greek Freek

5. Cousins

6. DeRozen

7. Irving – James has to take Irving over Embiid, because he already has Davis and Cousins.

8. Embiid

 I posted on the predictions thread beforehand.. one post before the draft, one after. I wasn’t far off I don’t think.

Almost certainly LeBron took KD first. Curry either took Giannis or Harden then LeBron took Kyrie. Curry then took the other one of Giannis or Harden. LeBron took Davis next. Considering Curry had Harden already, that means he took Embiid over Derozan. LeBron took Davis’s teammate Boogie, DeRozan was last of the starters.

After that, it was Curry picking first. He went Klay or Dray, then LeBron took Love. Curry then again took Klay or Dray. LeBron took Westbrook next, then after that who knows.

But id be willing to put money down that this order I’ve put out is correct for the first 7 picks each.

If Curry had taken Harden, Giannis then would he have taken DeRozan at 6 as he would have needed a big but no doubt felt that LBJ would not that Embeast at 7 so guessed he’d still be there at 8.

I’d agree Curry took Harden before Giannis and LBJ took AD before DMC so if Steph figured LBJ would take one of DeRozan or Kyrie at 7, he got his choice at 6.

So I reckon BlueRivers order has a great chance of being right.

 I dont think Lebron took Kyrie so high as the 3rd overall pick. He may be his former teammate, but he said he wanted to build a more complete team, so that it would compete well, as the East has been pretty weak in years past. No disrespect to Kyrie, but he’s just not as good Cousins or Davis. So I’m going to list the order that I think the picks were taken but its going to be divided into columns, for less confusion. (I wish they would have televised this, hopefully they do so next year, with media peer pressure)

Team Lebron                                Team Curry

    1. Durant                                   2. Harden

    3. Cousins                                 4. Giannis

    5. Davis                                     6. Derozan

    7. Irving                                    8. Embiid

Overall: that is the starters list, now noticing that Steph’s team is a little small compared to Lebron’s team, we might see KAT used a lot combat this and give a little more size. KAT will probably to PF (a position I don’t think he’s played too much this season, but I know he can. Embiid at Center and Giannis at the 3, just to give Curry’s team a little more size to combat what Lebron will have upfront which is himself, Durant, Cousins, and Davis. Also Butler will be used alot more because of he is very versatile, as well as Horford. But I think we will definitely see more "bench" minutes given to KAT to help with the "smallness" of Curry’s team compared to Lebron’s

 It’s been revealed by The Athletic that the first three picks went – 

Durant, Giannis, Davis. 

Lucky no one had the balls to challenge, would’ve lost my money.
