Draft Night Thread - First Round

[Lipoli390]

Well, it’s not a particularly exciting night for Wolves fans now that we’ve traded out of the 1st round. But I think it’s still interesting to watch as a basketball fan and you never know what might happen. Perhaps the Wolves will trade back into the first round or will be named as a pastry in a multi-team deal involving a first round pick.

So I thought it was worthwhile to start a separate thread devoted solely to tonight’s first round of the NBA draft. Go ahead and post thoughts, predictions, etc. as the night progresses.

As I see it, the most interesting teams to watch tonight are those with multiple first round picks:
- Bulls 4, 15 (also have pick 38 in 2nd round)
- Grizzlies 3, 16 (also have pick 32 in 2nd round)
- Mavs 9, 30
- OKC 12, 17 (also have pick 37 in 2nd round)
- Hawks 8, 23
- Hornets 14, 18

8th pick is on the clock soon, who are we going to draft with the Rudy gobert trade?

Kings just got a lot better after drafting Acuff. He is the top PG on my board. Philon is the #2 PG on my board.

The Hawks no longer need Dyson Daniels. They now have Kingston Fleming. Hmm. Rudy for Dyson and Okongwu?

I really hope so. I feel really bad for Kings fans.

So far the ESPN mock draft is batting .1000.

Hmm... Dallas skipped over Yaxel. He's not gonna be happy his college coach passed on him!

Mavs on the clock at #9. They also have #30. The talking heads are talking about the Mavs’ need for a big. The Wolves have a great big.
