We've waited a whole year to have this event again, and that moment is now here.

Many are expecting this day to be chaotic -- with the amount of player movement that has already gone down, folks are anticipating numerous trades to go down, as teams with cap space try to trade for star players, as other teams try to dump salaries, while others are trying to build through the draft.

All I care about is who we'll be drafting.

2. Ja Morant
3. RJ Barrett
4. DeAndre Hunter
5. Darius Garland

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

If we can move up that high, I’md like to snag DeAndre Hunter.

Wonder who he's aiming for?

Or maybe Bol Bol if they get a really good feeling from him

I would like him more at 20. I'm Goga all the way at 14. Might not last that long, though.

I certainly hope so. I'll be cheering for NOR to win a championship before Lebron and the Lakers.

Again, most expected this pick.

I may be on an island here, but I don't buy this guy's game. I don't see stardom in his game -- majorly lacks creativity, in my opinion.

I really like this guy. Think he has potential to be an All-Star. Defends and is an underrated offensive abilities. Good for Atlanta, they're building something nice there.

He was the 4th guy on my board. He's a bit like Andrew Wiggins, both lacking the fire to be great, but talented nonetheless.
