NBA DRAFT OPEN THREAD

IT’S FINALLY NBA DRAFT TIME.

ESPN, 6pm CT.

The several weeks leading up to this event are some of the most entertaining and dramatic, both of which the NBA thrive on. There have been trades, almost trades, puzzling moves, lots and lots of talking about potential moves. Will Porzingis get traded? Will Paul George? Are the Cavs actually serious about trying to add another All-Star level piece? Which college senior will the Bulls draft this year?

This is one of the deepest draft classes of the past couple years and a whole lot of teams are going to add some playmakers to their roster. The excitement, it is palpable.

Need a little pre-draft reading? Here’s Sporting News’ Sam Vecenie with his prospect list and a bunch of analysis. CBS Sports has some of the best basketball coverage around and Gary Parrish’s mock draft is as good of a guide as you’ll find. The motherships has their own mock which is an excellent piece as well. Oh and I also really liked this Jonathan Tjarks read on the Nets and D’Angelo Russell.

We, of course, very well could see Peter Jok taken late in the draft and if not, he’ll end up in the Summer League and quite possibly in someone’s training camp.
