initial hot takes:
skal does look like best prospect, really skilled and quite athletic
draftexpress continues to be avoid hosting videos on youtube for unknown reasons, alternative videos do not load; good job, good effort
jaylen brown looks like stanley johnson
zhou qi is going to be a hilarious bust, currently at #11. 7'2, 209lbs
dragan bender looks sweet and has a cool name
ivan rabb is not in dx's 2016 mock for some reason, but nbadraft.net has him 8th. justin jackson is another guy listed on nbadraft.net and not dx

Gonna bump some more Jaylen Brown hate.
Here's the reaction to being drafted by the Celtics.
The Celtics taking a guard instead of making that trade is just so mind blowing to me. They already have Thomas/Bradley/Smart. Those 3+ Crowder/Covington/Noel and two more picks and cap space and the picks they still have from the Nets trade? Like wtf
Surprising pick by the celtics. I dont mind it though. Brown has upside. I'd of took Bender or Murray over him though.
This guy chose to have Isiah Thomas advise him as opposed to hiring an agent. Isn't that an enormous red flag?
Hes tall,7foot wingspan, good build, can play small ball 4, hes just a good all around athlete. If he can put it together hes gonna be good. I think he normally busts but hes got the tools to be a baller if it comes together. He was my 5 pick on my big board. I'd rather take a shot on him then some old guy.
Nice pick for the suns.
