After the top 3, it really was a crap shoot. The ping pong balls didn't go as expected but that's life. That was the issue for the Knicks, getting the 4th spot to begin with.
I am in L.A. quite often so they are like my adopted team. (Yes, both of my teams suck right now, lo) But there was no way I would have passed on Okafor and I think the Lakers will regret that but I agree Russell is a helluva player and they do have to go against Golden State with Curry for the next 10 years so the pick wasn't entirely without merit. The 76ers got a great player that fell to them. And look out for that team. If Embiid is healthy, and that's a big if, they will dominate in 3-4 years with what they have coming.I saw the reaction of the Knicks fans on their pick...yikes. Me being a Laker fan, I love D'Angelo Russell. Now we need to get LaMarcus Aldridge, which I know we're getting. Kevin Love wouldn't be a bad addition.

It seems to me that most of the nba draft is dice roll these days in the first place year after year, as it has gotten to the point that almost anyone who gets drafted are not nba ready and takes them 2 to 4 years to get to that point. I can understand why the guys are coming out of college early, but at the same time there are those that come out early and don't get drafted. They can't go back to college where they were starters because of signing with agent and now they are stuck with no degree and having an up hill battle trying to make a nba team or play basketball overseas.
The Hornets made good pick with getting a solid senior college player in Frank Kaminsky and was able to pickup up a steal with getting an undrafted kentucky player.
One of the sports I am not total BSC over but I do go to games here and there....
Hornets got some nice picks.

The squeak squeak squeak... Lol. It reminds me of nails down a chalkboard!
I used to sit 5th row at Knicks games when I lived in New York 2007-2010... That was fun. I also love all finals (well fighting aside) and I was super stoked to see David Lees current team win even if he didn't play, still the highest paid! And no thank you Cleveland, not now ...not ever.
