Did they have commercials after 14-10 were called? This is ridiculous
Also general Lottery thread

Anyone else feel that this draft is insanely overrated?
Too hard to tell. Potential, no doubt. I think all of the top 5 have all star potential. But theres no simmons-type guy where you think "hes easily good for 15-5-5 year one" either.
Doncic and Ayton are studs and would be at the top of basically any draft. I'm not sold on Bagley and JJJ at all, I think they're overrated and will be way overdrafted. Trae Young is one guy who I expect to rocket back up draft boards, he's a guy who fell throughout the year but his game is a perfect fit in the NBA and he's going to be able to be a legit scoring threat right away.
A few guys I like who are further down the board too, Chandler Hutchison from Boise State is gonna be a stud, Gary Trent Jr, and Zhaire Smith. Though Smith could sneak into the lottery
I am also big fans of those bottom 3.
JJJ and bamba are amazing defensively, they have low bust potential solely because of that.
Bamba is gonna be fascinating to watch. He could be a more athletic Stifle Tower.
This drafts lottery is really really strong. No LeBron sure, but a lot of great players

HuhLol, this draft is overrated? Someone is paying attention.
Agreed on Bamba, he's going to be an elite defensive player. I'm just not sure he has enough of an offensive game to ever be a star. Now him becoming Capela is probably a win and a good outcome, just not something I'd necessarily want over some other guys top 5.I think Jackson is a guy who will be a better pro than a college guy. One of the top defenders in the draft and a good outside shooter. He can chase the stretches. He’s really interesting. But yeah he’s also unproven as a top scoring option since MSU had bridges to shoulder the load and some nice spreading behind him.
JJJ is interesting, a lot of the hype comes from per 40 and per 36 minutes and what he could be. I'm just not convinced he ever gets there. I think those numbers get inflated because he played such short stretches and was always in foul trouble.
Never seen Doncic play but I'll put money down he's a relative bust.
