KG, Love and now we get the best player in the draft who we scoop up at 5. I like it.

I hope the Lakers wind up at 3...

Yeah much better than 6

Actually I want Boston to get 3. Boston is a bigger threat to us than the Lakers.

You missed my point. We have been very lucky with pick 5 (KG, Love and Rubio) and unlucky at 6 (Flynn)

Same thing happened to me, Lip...stomach starting churning once they started flipping the cards over. I'm relaxed again and fine with #5 :) .

I'm glad Philly gets 1. They may want to trade Noel or Okafor now.

I'm ok with #5. I was afraid of falling to #7. We will definitely have the chance to draft at least one of the following quality players, depending on what happens in front of us:

Hield
Dunn
Murray, or
Bender

All four guys have the chance to be very good NBA players.

Philly gets another guy over 6'10", lol

Dang, when nobody jumped ahead of us, I thought our odds of a top 3 pick was pretty good.
