On the record draft predictions

Prediction: Clingan and Castle will not have the worst outfits.

Lots of Risacher 1 noise right now. Rusillo and Vescaney ripped him apart on their podcast. I've never seen the kid play, but they did say he has no on ball skills at all, all catch and shoot. Vescaney has Clingan one in his mock, for what it's worth. Sarr seems like a lock for 2, unless someone trades up to grab him at 1.
Givony generally has better sources and he's had Risacher 1 for a while.
I predict the coverage by espn will be painful. Last year I watched draft for first time in years, and lets just say Stephen a smith and monica mcnutt are not Mel Kiper jr. I was shocked how much entertainment it was rather than basketball analysis. I think Bilas was only one on panel with real bball insight. I guess that's espn these days
Follow a YouTube live show instead. Vecenie or Karaban will be on Sleepers at some point.
 
Castle 4 to San Antonio
Clingan 7 to Portland (someone will probably trade up to get him but hard to predict who and where)
Spencer 49 to Indiana
Newton 56 to Denver
 
Sorry not to be as specific as others.

Castle goes in top 3
DC goes 10-15

Hope I’m wrong about DC but Jezz if I’m a GM I’m easily signing Andre Drummond for a couple years.

Spencer gets drafted, and TNewt makes an NBA roster as UFA.

However, my track record for NBA talent sucks.
Clingan will not last until the 10th pick. No. Nay. Never.
 
Both our high picks go top 6

One of our 2nd round kids goes to the C's
 
.-.
Carter’s stock is soaring apparently. Could go as high as 9 to Memphis
 
Clingan #1
Castle #2
Newton #3
Spencer #4

What the heck. Got as good a chance as being right than anyone else’s projection.
 
Without trades.

1. Risacher
2. Sarr
3. Sheppard
4. Castle
5. Buzelis
6. Clingan
 
Castle 4, clingan 7, edey lottery.

Celtics trade back from 30 and use a second on Newton or Spencer

Think all 4 get drafted, but worst case we all know what summer league teams to watch by the weekend
 
I am happy for DC and Castle. So happy for these kids. That said, I am mad as heck that TN will be disrespected, again. I saw a mock draft where a kid from East Nowhere State is going early to mid second round. The Bob Cousy winner does not get drafted. The final four MVP does not get drafted. This is infuriating.

Simmons, KOC and J Kyle Mann talking draft - they all seem iffy on the French kids and think Castle and Clingan (and Sheppard) are the only definite quality starter level guarantees.

Hornets, despite their history, are intriguing with Miller and a healthy Ball. Lee is a good hire, on paper.

I would be surprised if 5 teams pass on Clingan and Castle. High floor and high culture guys in a low star draft.
 
So many trade possibilities so I'm going to weasel my way out of a hard pick.

Clingan somewhere between 3-5
Castle 4-8
Newton 35-50
Spencer one of the last 10 picks.

Don’t get yourself too worked up about mock drafts!

1. Risacher
2. Sarr
3. Sheppard
4. Castle
5. Buzelis
6. Clingan

I'll eat the hat I don't have if Sheppard and Buzelis go ahead of Castle and Clingan.
 
Clingan #3
Castle #4. I feel like he's going to Charlotte at 6 but I'm going to try to speak it out of existence
Cam 47
Newton undrafted but immediately signs a two way contract
 
.-.
Don’t think he’ll be a star, but he’s got the skill set to be a really valuable role player for a long time.
I berated him a lot this year when we played Providence lol, but in the back of my mind I always really liked and respected his game. Seems like he has elite makeup too, his NBA bloodlines likely having a lot to do with that. I’ll be rooting for him at the next level
 
I’ll give my +25000 odds take.

Castle gets drafted to the spurs at 4 and then is immediately traded to the hawks in a deal with the hawks to get the guys they want Risacher.

Clingan falls out of top 3 and was used as a smokescreen the last week. OKC trades up to 5 or 6 to draft in a shock trade.

Someone trades into the first round to take Tristen with the last pick of the night

5. Andrew Hurley
Since the Lakers want to draft Bronny to get LeBron to stay, maybe they'll draft Andrew to entice Dan to reconsider. Too late I guess.:)
