The draft is still going on as I write this (Pick #8 was just made). Wiggins goes 1st, no surprise. But Embid 3rd kind of is, I thought he'd drop further. Big men with foot problems, no thanks. We'll see how it goes though.

My Lakers got Randle, solid pick. I'm satisfied.

I think Randle may be rookie of the year next year. The Lakers did well there.

I think Wiggins is going to be a great perimeter defensive asset, but I don't see him as a team leader.

Celtics drafting Marcus Smart. Should Rondo be worried?

I think Randle was a steal. He's got some history (surgery in high school), but he's got the body to be a devastating front court player.

I'm guessing Wolves want a PG as part of their deal. I doubt it'll be Rondo though. More likely Celtics will try to leverage Avery and Marcus with draft pick in exchange for Kevin Love. I don't think Love will want to go to Celtics without Rondo there.

I'm not a Randle fan. I think he's too much of a tweener. Can't play defense and disappeared too much in the tournament's biggest games. The Lakers will regret that pick.

The Sixers need to be under investigation. They are seriously trying to tank. I don't understand what they will do with both Embiid and Noel.

Charlotte is going to be really good next year.

Ernie Grunfield (Wizards GM) is horrible. That is all.

I don't think he'll want to go to the celts even with rondo there. He's looking to upgrade not move laterally although in the east he'd make the playoffs with meh around him but I think he's looking for more than charity playoff appearances that go nowhere.

Well, he's certainly going to get lots of playing time.

Good job Bucks for selecting Jabari Parker.

Marcus smart measured at the combine at 6'2 barefoot, with a 8'4 standing reach. thats enough length to be a SG. heck, JJ reddick's reach is 8'1.5 and thats not stopping him.

Yeah but they have Bradley at SG. It's obvious they brought Smart in for one of the two back court spots, but whose spot?
