    Team % to Pick No.1
    Boston Celtics (via Brooklyn Nets) 25.0%
    Phoenix Suns 19.9%
    Los Angeles Lakers 15.6%
    Philadelphia 76ers 11.9%
    Orlando Magic 8.8%
    Minnesota Timberwolves 5.3%
    New York Knicks 5.3%
    Sacramento Kings 2.8%
    Dallas Mavericks 1.7%
    Sacramento Kings (via New Orleans Pelicans) 1.1%
    Charlotte Hornets 0.8%
    Detroit Pistons 0.7%
    Denver Nuggets 0.6%
    Miami Heat 0.5%

    *BOS can swap first-round picks with BKN*

    *LAL will send first-round pick to PHI if it falls outside top 3*

    *PHI can swap picks with SAC inside top 10*

    *If SAC pick falls out of top 10, it will go to CHI*

    *NO will send first-round pick to SAC if it falls outside top 3*

    It is never too early!!! I will try to keep everyone up to date on some of the finer prospect in College that might come into the NBA next year. I've been looking at this class for a while now it's so exciting. As a Philly fan it was great to get the #1 pick and draft Simmons who's my favourite player already lol, but I'm really looking forward to next years draft as we are likely to have 2 lottery picks.

    It's too hard to tell but imo... Kris Dunn (or whoever you think 2016's 3rd best player) would struggle to get picked in the top 10...

    Here are some of my favourites so far:
    Harry Giles - PF - Duke
    Good chance being the #1 pick imo. He suffered a bad injury that made him miss out a decent chunk of his Senior year including the McDonalds All-Australian game and all them, but he'll do just fine at Duke. Everything you want in a PF.


    Jayson Tatum - SF - Duke
    Gonna be Harry's partner in crime at Duke. This guy is my favourite so far and he's rated around pick 7 in some mocks.. wtf? This dude is gonna be the next Paul George. Incredible amount of potential.


    Josh Jackson - SF - Kansas
    Another #1 potential. This guy is a bit like Tatum due to their builds and similar body types, but Jackson has a bit more hustle in his game and can obviously do the fancy things shown in the video below.


    De-Aaron Fox - PG - Kentucky
    THIS is the guy I want the 76ers to draft. There are so many good attributes with this guy. Can get in the paint, can pass, can s---t but it's his defense that stands out the most to me. Far out this guy can play.


    Lonzo Ball - PG - UCLA
    His time in high school was probably one of the most exciting teams to watch. He had 2 younger brothers (both committed to UCLA) and they ran the show. Lonzo is obviously miles better, brilliant passer and can read the game really well.

    ^that f---ing ending.....

    There are so many more... I just cbf writing about them. Dennis Smith probably the best PG, Malik Monk is a savage, Jonathan Isaac, Frank Jackson oh man. There aren't many Centers so hopefully Sacramento can't f--- up next year.

    I'll post more of their college careers throughout next season. :)

    Like Giles a lot but hes torn both ACL's before turning 18, I'd be weary of that. The Nets should land us one of these guys next year either way. Or at the very least that pick will be more sought after then the one used on Jaylen Brown.

    s--- I would almost trade Jimmy straight up for that pick. Nets could f--- it up by splurging in FA though.

    WOW I've only just found out about this.... apparently it's been news for ages.

    Terrance Ferguson is now living in Adelaide (my home city) playing in the NBL for the Adelaide 36ers.. f---!! I'll definitely be posting some of his highlights. I think I got a new favourite player in this draft class.

    Jerome Randle 2 Terrance Ferguson :lawd:

    Draft is very deep and anyone in the top 8 has the chance to get a legit franchise player.
    Too bad Bulls went all in with Rondo/Wade :drakemj:

    lmao, I wish he was.

    Right now, the best case scenario for Philly is landing Fultz and Tatum. PLS dont tank Lakers!!
