Kristap Porzingis pulled out of the draft. DX just posted a new mock this morning. Not a lot of notables fall or rises in the 1st. Zach Lavine's now projected to go to the Hawks at #15 now. Isaiah Austin is now projected to go undrafted.

I was reading that the best player in some big hs toruney last week was a 7 foot 265 center with an old school game whos just a freshmen so it peaked my interest
My one beef is hes not that explosive if that doesnt improve and he grows more he cold turn into Hibbert
He the next one breh he the next one

That kid is pretty mobile to be that tall and only in 9th grade, he'll get more explosive as he gets older.
Riles better convince Wade to opt out....

Somebody been teaching him well, keep the ball high
@ the way he runs though..that gait doesn't look right
Embiid's workout and interview in Cleveland last week were major successes, according to sources close to the Cavs. Embiid did a full workout there in front of the Cavs' front office and owner Dan Gilbert. Multiple sources said that the team was blown away with the workout. Embiid even ended one session by launching and nailing a series of 3s.
Directly after the workout, two different sources told me that Embiid was the strong favorite to be drafted by the Cavs. Even Gilbert was on board.
However, there have been conflicting reports coming out of Cleveland about Embiid's physical, with one report stating the Cavs found multiple red flags. That's been strongly disputed by the sources I have, but getting accurate information this time of year is especially challenging. I don't see the incentive for the Cavs to leak that the physical was bad. It lessens the value of the No. 1 pick, especially considering that they are still looking at multiple trade options. The only way leaking it makes much sense is if they are thinking of swapping picks with the Sixers and want Embiid to fall to them there.
Regardless, the team also gets Andrew Wiggins (on Wednesday) and Jabari Parker (on Friday) in this week. Right now, I continue to believe Embiid is moving closer and closer to being the No. 1 pick, but if the physical was bad, a great trade offer comes in or if Wiggins or Parker blow the Cavs away in workouts, things could obviously change.

They seen the light
Watching the crown jewel of Africa workout in person must have had Gilbert wishing it was 1813
On that Sixers rumor...I think there are whispers of taking Exum..but it doesnt mean they would trade MCW. I could see them playing in the same backcourt easily.
