Here we go! Let's go Frank and JJ.

That's right Michael Wilbon. Nobody wants to hear Lavar Ball talk.

@approxinfinity What a bizarre man.

I'd rather have Fox than Ball for sure. Fox has John Wall / Russell Westbrook upside.

@approxinfinity Any day of the week. It will go down in history as the worst mistake in draft history.

@approxinfinity Ok, let's be honest, -and I'm trying to not show favoritism - - - but will probably come across that way BUT who honestly believes Lonzo Ball deserves to be drafted before Josh? - -Oh sure maybe Ball a little better scorer - -maybe - -But Josh BY FAR is an all around lot better player - - as far as that goes again even with the possibility of Jayson Tatum being picked before Josh -again I STILL take Josh because of his all around ability.

Better defense wise,, rebounding, getting others involved just TOTAL all around - -I'd take josh over either one of these guys - -I know again sounds like favoritism but hey - -I truly believe this. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Lol why is the room where the people that vet the picks on the other side of the arena from the stage, so they have to run, out of breath, to give the card to Silver? Guess its not the only way the NBA Draft is ass backwards.

@KUSTEVE About as polite as I can say it is he's overbearing as hell IMO.

@jayballer54 The only rationale I can think of to draft over Josh is if you're drafting by need. And in that case, why not pick a better PG than Ball? Ball has neither superior athleticism nor strength and shoots from the hip. It's amazing the double standards some execs have re: what "drafting on potential" means. For most players, it means ruling out players that aren't freak athletes, or aren't tall enough, and then this different meaning for Ball. Oh he's got swag so.... his athleticism doesn't matter? we'll just ignore it? he'll get stronger and more athletic? what the heck is that?

thats an interesting theory by Jaylen -> Celts to draft Isaac.

@approxinfinity That possible pick is ridicilious. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Oh I forgot also because "he's a clone of Jason Kidd" meaning, he happens to look a little like the guy, and somehow that means he's gonna get you triple doubles? Please.

lol not appealing to the home crowd Silver... How about throwing them a bone with Kristaps or Carmelo or something?

I Think Philly is building them something - -Jo, Jo, - - -Simmons - - -Fultz, nice trio. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

They've got some other nice pieces too. If they can stay healthy, I agree.

Some of these kids taste of fashion borders that of Whizzo the clown 🤡 Stripes, plaids & polka dots -

@approxinfinity I think I saw fultz play once.

So far pretty much as expected...

@globaljaybird I love their clothes. It's like the red carpet. Just fun, I'm trying to picture you and rascal walking in w/those outfits😉

Man I' am so sick of seeing Ball, Ball, let me get him out of my basketball history - -out of sight - -out of mind , as I really don't follow the NBa that much during the regular season other then keeping up with our boys. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Why show him!

We have a late breaking trade.... Lonzo Ball has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for Luc Richard Mbah Moute, Luke Ridnour, Drew Gooden and a lifetime supply of cheese.

Can't stand daddy Ball...

@Crimsonorblue22 Don't picture capris or leggings cause they ain't part of da shot.

Celts on da clock

Wow...Jimmy Butler trade to Minnesota. The Wolves are getting ready to make an impact

@globaljaybird ha ha !

Hmm interesting. TWolves traded LaVine and Dunn and teh 7th pick? So it's all Rubio at PG.

Leaving themselves thin at PG. I don't get it.

Jimmy Butler isn't THAT good. Damn.

Not surprised with Boston going for Tatum & offense

Well?

globaljaybird said:

The funny thing is Josh was pretty much just as good this year offensively. Of course...the NBA is a different game...

Tatum wanted to play for Boston, Jackson did not.

well not surprising re: Tatum to Celts. The Celts now have one mildly likeable person in their frontcourt. Hopefully Al Horford and Kelly Olynyk dont give him a career ending head injury (a la TJ Ford) in practice or something.

Absolute junk pick by the Celtics

@BeddieKU23 nah I get it. Tatum has some nasty upside.

I can see teams wanting to trade up to #4 to get Jackson

approxinfinity said:

@BeddieKU23 nah I get it. Tatum has some nasty upside.

Not athletic enough

@BeddieKU23 You think? I was pretty impressed with him at Duke.

The Kings are going to take Fox.

@approxinfinity LMAO - - gotta love it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

approxinfinity said:

@BeddieKU23 You think? I was pretty impressed with him at Duke.

I do I think he's a selfish player and was one of the main reasons duke had chemistry issues

@JayHawkFanToo So sick of this idiot. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Fox is a better fit for the Suns but Jackson is the better player...

@JayHawkFanToo I have a Phoenix suns blanket

JJ will fix his form.

@BShark JJ's FT% was not an advantage-

:)

The Suns need their Jayhawk fix not that the twins are gone...

Wooo

Team cancer.

There is a reason that Melo has never won anything. Well, besides simply playing for the Knicks.

Mr Jackson...in Phoenix....beautiful....

Team cancer.

Maybe his game translates to the NBA but he doesn't defend or pass and he was not a better shooter then Jackson in any stat outside of free throws

Man. Is it Late Night yet?

Now...who get his career ruined by being selected by the Kings?

those dunks were sick!

Josh just doesn't wear a hat well🤠

@Crimsonorblue22

No one with a 'fro that big should try to wear a ball cap.

@BeddieKU23

Yeah, annoying myth there.

It could be worse

@approxinfinity

Dang...I wish I could un-see that...

@approxinfinity I think his form was getting better all the time

I like fox💨💨💨

Magic will select Jonathan Isaac.

So far no big surprises. We might start seeing some trades soon.

He smoked Ball!🚬🚬🚬

@globaljaybird those shoes for you😘

Bulls will draft Lauri Markkanen.

@Crimsonorblue22 I like Fox too. good kid.

Knicks will draft Frank Ntilikina.

I'm sad for Fox that he is going to Sacremento, but if anyone can survive that hell hole...

I'm just waiting for BIFM to get drafted then I'm out.

I think the Wolves will regret taht trade.

Was that fsu kid a frosh?

They shouldnt have dumped both of their young PGs.

@Crimsonorblue22 he was.

@approxinfinity not sure I saw them play much

Well the fact that DWade was deadweight last year and now he's still gettin' dem checks. Yeah, the Bulls need some youth to develop.

Good for wolves! I get to see them on fox quite a bit

The Wolves will be a very young team with a lot of potential.

Maybe Tyus Jones will get more run?

@approxinfinity Mason?

@Crimsonorblue22 I like it!

@BShark wellp you called it.

Like the red, never heard of him

Mavs will take Dennis Smith.

The pagination on here kinda blows. Did you guys know that on desktop you can tap on the number part of the bar (87 out of 88) and type in a post number to hop to? That helps a little with the inability to hop back a page correctly. I also just changed page length to 50 posts instead of 20. I don't know whats best. I'll change it back after the draft.

@BShark Whats your take on Kennard?

@approxinfinity

Don't like him.

@BShark thought he was a tough competitor at Duke. Doesn't translate to pros?

How is Malik Monk still available? LOL

Portland trading up to take Zach Collins.

@approxinfinity wimpy

@approxinfinity Ahhh crap I thought the draft was the 26th! Whatd I miss?

@Lulufulu no big surprises. Josh to Phoenix at 4. Butler traded to TWolves for Lavine Dunn and Markannen (7th pick)

@jayballer54 Philly is trying to do what Golden State did.

@Lulufulu I've just got this feeling Philly just about ready to get nasty. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Charlotte will take Malik Monk.

Pistons will take Kennard.

Please dunk on him so hard that his daddy runs on the court to save him..

Embiids tweet about Ball

Embiid is the twitter GOAT.

Nice to JJ get another top 5 pick for KU, Really hoped he went to LA to be with Trob, Black and to bust the Ball bubble.

Where's teh fast forward button?

@approxinfinity still all frosh?

@Crimsonorblue22 a couple weren't. Most though.

approxinfinity said:

Best hair product endorsement possibilities.

@approxinfinity Collins

@mayjay he's losing his hair

I'm really anxious to see how all these young guys do. Can't see them all making it

Takes all of frans body to spit out the foreigners names. He needs a pat on his back, oh wait, he does that himself.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@mayjay he's losing his hair

Rogaine, then. Plus he needs that big dog cone around his neck to train him to stop pulling on his hair. A newspaper swat across the snout might be too much for him, but I reserve the right to direct one to Grayson.

Who thinks Frank is going to end up in LA?

COME ON SAN ANTONIO! DRAFT FRANK!

HERE IT IS! THE MOMENT! DO IT!

You're gonna draft this guy from Colorado over Frank? COME ON. Give me a break.

@approxinfinity ya pretty disappointed in that, i thought Frank had a good shot going there.

@approxinfinity nobody has faith!😭

The Charlotte Hornets select..... FRANK... JACKSON.... (good luck with that)

that highlight reel of Frank Jackson... that game against Kansas... Yeah... A Frank won that game... #BIFM

There we go!

So he and Fox are in SacTown together.

Ooooooh b--ch I'm b--ch I'm FRANK MASON!

@approxinfinity Dam, Ok guys I'm not even going to try and BS - - make any excuse, go dam glad for Frank but man I'm going to tell you that surprised the hell out of me, I mean he went HIGH second round, way to go Big Boy so proud I truly thought he would be middle to just lower I'm sorry not that I didn't want him to go high but I just didn't think that was going t happen go that high.

Awsome Job Frank - -just goes to show you how his hard work and determination paid off - -should be a really good tool for others to see what he accomplished - - -Love this Guy, - -Frank - -always a Jayhawk - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Congrats Frank. You overachieved in college when people doubted you and you will overachieve in the NBA as well. You and Ben are and will continue to be great KU ambassadors.

5) Sacramento Kings: De’Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky
15) Sacramento Kings: Justin Jackson, SG, North Carolina
20) Sacramento Kings: Harry Giles, F, Duke
34) Sacramento Kings: Frank Mason, PG, Kansas

It seems to me they can let go of Darren Collison and Ty Lawson. Both Frank's size. Not as good.

Man I'm gonna miss Frank.

@BShark -Also picked up Evans also just now - - as we all no slouch there either - -Damm like their makeup. - -Team to watch soon I'm telling ya. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Yeah I wished that was Frank, but like the Evans pick too.

I thought Thomas Bryant should have waited a year.

@approxinfinity

One from each of the Bluest of the Blue Bloods.

nice Monte Morris pick #51.

@approxinfinity forgot about motley.

GO. FRANK. GO.

Congrats to frank for making his dream come true, wished it was a few picks earlier to get a contract but he just needs a chance.

JJ let the teams that passed him up have it. I've said all along, he is a once in a generation competitor. I think he'll make Boston rue the day they chose Tatum over him:
