CHA takes Jalen Duren. He slipped from where he was targeted early in the college season. Some say he's the next Bam Adebayo, but he's not. Not nearly as talented offensively as Bam.
It's said that he's been traded to DET. Duren matches the Pistons so well. Aggressive, mean, and if I may say, dirty, player.

Hearing that CHA is taking Mark Williams at 15.
So they drafted big man Jalen Duren at 13, but moved him to DET. And now they take Dukie Mark Williams. He's a solid, tall and long limbed defender and lob threat at C. A solid piece, but not a homerun pick.

He looks a lot more springy in those highlights. Looked like a way better passer than I thought he was |

AJ Griffin is going to the Hawks. I highly doubt he leap frogs DeAndre Hunter, and if he does I hope Brad gets on the phone with ATL because I like Hunter. Griffin is kinda slow for a SF, and not big enough for PF.

Woj is saying Tari Eason is the guy Houston is taking.
Brad is said to be interested in Eason. Is something going to happen here?

The Bulls take Dalen Terry.
I like this kid's energy. Can be a spark on O and D. Maybe not big minutes, more of a good bench piece.

The NFL draft picks are always dressed way better than the NBA guys. That's been the case forever. It's like a rule.

Memphis trades for the 19th and then takes Jake LaRavia. LaRavia is a solid guy who I was thinking would be available in the second. Going all the way at 19 is a surprise to me.
He's a solid player, but unspectacular. Reminds me of a slower footed Franz Wagner with a couple more inches.

I guess Jake LaRavia will be my favorite player in this draft via the fact he went to Larry Bird's college. Granted he transferred to Wake Forest, but still.

Spurs could be taking Malachi Branham. A pretty good offensive combo guard.
He doesn't seem to be a Spurs player. I thought the same thing about Dejounte Murray, and look, Murray is now in trade talks.

Woj is saying Denver will take Christian Braun.
Not high on Braun -- too stiff.

MIN is getting Kessler Walker.
I like this kid -- as a shot blocker. Everything else is questionable. But around the basket, he can block shots!

Memphis traded for PHI's 23rd pick (for DeAnthony Melton) and will draft David Roddy.
Wow, they now have Desmond Clarke and David Roddy -- two tweener undersized PF's. I guess they like that profile.
