2018 NBA Draft Night Thread - ESPN 7PM Thursday June 21

It?s time. The moment of truth. Tonight might be crazy.

My prediction: Knicks take Kevin Knox at #9.

Watching ESPN coverage now. Ian Begley saying that we don?t have the assets to move up. Mills and Perry hoping Wendell Carter or Michael Porter Jr fall to 9. Otherwise, Begley says Knicks are going to take Kevin Knox.

Thanks for the thread htr10! Can we have another prayer circle in hopes we don?t screw the pooch like we did last year? I?m fine with Knox, Colin Sexton, or Mike Jr if he happens to fall that far which I doubt.

Sounds like Sexton and Porter both have good chances to be off the board before we pick.

Woj said Porter is dropping like a rock off of less than optimistic prognosis of his back. His agent is countering with some medical opinions that are more optimistic. It's like a court case with guys bringing in expert witnesses.

Sam Hinkie would have drafted Michael Porter and stashed him until 2025 when full back transplant surgery gets invented.

Trae should drop 5 spots for that outfit he's wearing. Lol

Quarter after 7 and doesn?t look like any picks are coming any time soon.

David Aldridge says Kevin Knox or Miles Bridges if we stay at 9.

Everybody has the first 5 as Ayton, Bagley, Jackson, Doncic and Bamba. I don't know about Orlando taking Young at 6 though, they need to get this draft right and they haven't drafted well so taking him with so many questions about him would leave them open to a lot of criticism.

Yeah and I told RJ the first pick would be at around 7.

I have my Marvel Knicks hat with Spider Man web slinging thru the city hopefully for some good mojo.

Here we go introducing the guys in the green room now.

We should be drafting 2 pieces that will be major parts of the rotation moving forward. Let?s go! Times are a?changin?

1st Pick - DeAndre Ayton - Suns

2nd Pick - Marvin Bagley III - Kings

Woj reporting that Hawks will select Luka Doncic at #3 and then be traded to Dallas who are supposed to select Trae Young at #5. WTF.

Will Bamba fall?

Doncic?s camp must have told Atlanta that he doesn?t want to play for their hot garbage franchise. Didn?t catch the terms of the trade, but huge coup for Dallas likely.

First trade, Hawks take Doncic at 3 but he's going to the Mavs if Trae is still there when the Mavs pick he'll go to the Hawks. Hawks get Mavs 1st next year for the swap.
