NBA Insider - Kevin O'Connor - The Ringer Mock Draft - Sixers #28 - Nah'Shon Hyland - VCU 'The Sixers want to make a blockbuster trade for Damian Lillard or Bradley Beal, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be able to. Drafting a courageous shot creator like Hyland could add a spark to the offense, even as a rookie.'I predict we use this pick to nab Dame - but this kid looks lights out

There's a difference. Simmons creates plenty of shots for everyone, but can't make one to save his life. How terrible will you say this kid looks if he gets drafted by any other team?

Per Draftnet.com - his comparison is Jordan Clarkson

Not another year-long thread with a huge poll shortening every page.
Damn.

We need to get every team accounted for this year - the Suns and Hawks weren't included in last years poll - who knows - the Magic or Cavs may shock people this year

And as we can see - we already have 2 votes for the Wiz and Wolves Ideally, a poll would be separate from the season long NBA thread, but it would sink down the board like a stone. Ideally, the poll would lock opening day and at that point show the user names next to each vote. Last year, people were changing votes during the late playoff rounds.

Rest be assured I won't be changing my vote.
But I can see numerous posters here flip flopping as the season goes on.
I hope our brave posters who picked the Wiz and Wolves stick by their picks this year.
They're both interesting choices. I mean nobody expected the Suns or Hawks to be where they were
Could Beal/Westbrook add some pieces? Does Bertans play up to his contract? Or is Westbrook going to end up on the Lakers as it's been speculated? Does Beal get dealt?
Will the Wolves find another piece to put around KAT, D'LO and Anthony Edwards?

Now we have a Kings pick!
Sweet!
I love Fox and always liked Hield and Bagley
Rumors abound about them trying to add a superstar as well (Ben)
Draft Night hopefully is incredibly entertaining with lots of trades going on.

ESPN Power Ranking for 2021/22 3. Suns lols I'm picking the Warriors. Curry with a lot more help again. Beyond rested Klay. Wiggins &/or his trade return. Draft picks &/or theirs. I may never again trust Kyrie Irving to go all the way.

Rumor has it they have their eye on Simmons. Playing small ball and sticking Ben at the '5' or using him at the '4' as Point Forward (would have to get rid of Draymond) with him dropping dimes to Steph and Klay would be a thing of beauty. I may be off - I don't know if he actually finished 1st - but for a time Ben assisted on the most 3 pointers made over the past couple of years
I expected them to make a run last year before Klay went down. But Klay hasn't played in 2 years now. I just don't see Steph, Klay, Wiseman, Wiggins (maybe they unload him), Draymond making a serious threat to win the West
Rumor has it they also have their eye on Dame
How would that work with Steph and Klay in the backcourt? I get we've moved to positionless ball - but that's asking a lot on the other side of the ball going down the court having to guard bigger wings.

Look at my Hawks being disrespected. I expect them to trade up. I am putting $100 on them to win it all.

Is there a 3 teamer somewhere with Dame to the Warriors, GSW pieces to the Sixers, & Simmons to the Blazers?
