    I'm hoping Dorsey does well at the Combine. He really got exposed in terms of NBA potential during the UNC game.

    If you declared, you may as well stick it out through the whole process before deciding to go back or not. Getting the official draft report and grade is pretty important even if the plan is to go back. May as well see how you stack up and get the advice on what to work on for the NBA game.

    Apparently the rules only allow a player to do this twice. Or at least that's what I've gathered from what draftexpress has been tweeting. Still, even if that is the case, I'd say it's worth it.

    He's not getting a combine invite, he has to be called to a private workout with teams.

    I think that's right from what I've read. One of the better changes in the last CBA in the one and done era. I think two years makes sense too because if it's not working after two times then it's probably not meant to be at that point. There are still other avenues like the G-league and overseas options. Not to mention, if you get invited multiple times and go back to school, you are potentially taking a spot from a graduated player that really needs that one shot.
     
  7. All the mocks have Collins to Charlotte. I really don't want him. It sounds great on paper but the guy is so inexperienced. Only started his senior season in high school and came of the bench in his only college season. I don't want another 4-year project PF.

    He's literally just a bigger Cody zeller if you think about it. There are so many better rim protectors in this draft than him.

    Fultz the only top 5 guy going to the combine for interviews and measurements.

    Also like three new played enrolled to the draft, officially.

    Man I really don't want the Sixers to draft Lonzo. Too much distraction for a squad that's got such promise.

    With lavine coming off an acl injury I hope the wolves consider monk if he's available

    He would be a good fit on your team for the most part. I'm curious how he is going to hold up defensively at the two just because he is a little undersized, but the idea of him taking some of the burden off Wiggins' attack or Towns getting doubled makes sense. Markanen could definitely step in and create an interesting dynamic with Towns down low and would lengthen that bench. Dieng would be great off the bench and Belly would not be forced to play a heavier role than need be. I also like the idea of Tatum and Wiggins on the wing. There would be so much length and bounce there.

    John Collins is basically a more athletic okafor

    Definitely think they should go the best available route this year, if Tatum is available at six (if we don't move up or down in the lottery) I would love that pick. But yeah monk or Tatum is ideal, isaacs is in talk for the pick too, but I'm skeptical they take him that high.

    I completely agree with this and the only way to improve it is if Stauskas was the Sixers' lottery rep

    I would be so happy if the Celtics didn't get in the top 2 again and neither did the lakers somehow

    I know, and that was the obvious choice

    But Stauskas being the rep as the pick swap conveys would be fucking hilarious (sorry Kings fans)

    We only have one kings fan and I feel like he's been less enthused with them lately.

    I want the worst possible outcome for the Lakers on lottery night. That franchise needs to experience more humility.
