Is there a delay because of a trade?

Wiggins 1, Parker 2. Now it gets exciting (even if they don't announce trades immediately after they're made).

Wiggins is a solid 6/10 on the "closed-caption-necessity despite being a native english speaker" scale And that analysis basically made him sound like a track and field guy that happens to play basketball. All they seem to do is comment on physical attributes or stats in those clips ...
Also, the Bucks must be thrilled to have a first rounder genuinely wanting to go there, 2 years in a row now .

Yeah, the "Wiggins can't shoot" thing is pretty overblown. Out of all the SFs drafted in the top three the past 20 years, he's an above-average shooter. If there's one thing you get better at from college to the NBA, it's shooting. He shot the same percentage from three on basically one fewer attempt per game than Melo did his freshman year.

To be fair, he does have freakish athleticism. I didn't know what that looked like until watching him this year. His first step was faster than anyone else Kansas played against. And by a lot. SI

Loves this for Orlando. Then again, I've said I was high on him. Make him Blake Griffin 2.0 if you are Orlando.

don´t see a trade in the top 10 happening now. Exum would be next up now, but pair him with Burke P Hmm, Not sure if that is a good fit, but also don´t think anybody else makes much sense.

I see Exum already listed as the Jazz pick on some sites. Is ESPN behind?

I think this pick for Boston means they're really trying to strike a deal with the Kings for Rondo.

Nurkic is a top5 talent, be interesting where he ends up. Has a few conditioning issues, but he does some crazy stuff for a guy who is 6´11/280. Basically what Pekovic could be with more exploive athleticism, imo.

He could very well be at the top of some team's "best player available" list. I played against Vonleh's prep school in college, and he was more of a PF who thought he was an SF. He has more of a face-up game than what he showed in college, but it doesn't seem like any of the next few teams have a big need at PF. |

Hornets desperately need some shooting. In a vacuum, that pick does not make much sense with Jefferson, Zeller, Biyombo (who imo is a really solid 20 mpg center) and McBob, although the latter is a FA, and a non-shooting defender at the 3 in MKG.

76ers go Payton? Seems they need PG now. Or do you take McDermott and dangle him and future 1 for Rondo.

McBuckets on Denver, that team will continue to be very fun.

I think he's the type of guy that you take, knowing he'll be a solid starter for years. In some years, it's a choice between him and something more volatile with higher potential higher in the draft. SI

All I've seen is Hood here and they just got rid of a 3. Makes sense with this pick I guess. Lots of people like Levine also since he plays 1/2

OK, McBuckets in Chicago. Makes sense as well. Not impossible that he can give you 15-20 stretch-4 minutes a game, so even with Melo it makes sense.
Denver with 2 picks now will swing for the fences. Saric or Nurkic will not go past them with their international scouting. Good pick by Orlando, if you have 2 picks you might as well pick a guy like that and see what the situation is in 2 years.

Now ESPN is just trolling the Wolves by displaying his position as PG (propably to get weir "wait, i thought they have a PG ? Why again draft yet another one)
Saric going to the 76ers for Payton (so much for Oladipo at PG i guess)

seriously ? Rubio isn´t perfect, but this is a very weird statement to me. Yes, he can´t score, but he does everything else extremely well. Also, Anderson was their PG on offense for all intents and purposes. LaVine guarded PG at times.
