i also like that the 1-3 worst record have equal shot and it's not a guarantee at all. like gs could have the #5 pick thatd be great

I think Anthony Edwards could be good, if he ends up on the right team and plays like his hair’s on fire he could be a Russ type. But he can’t shoot for shit.

NBA is moving toward pushing back this year's draft, scheduled for Oct. 16, along with Oct. 18 start of free agency, partly because of likelihood that the tentative opening of the 2020-21 season will be delayed from Dec. 1, per sources. Also allows more time to set a salary cap. https://t.co/Sv2i5EqAsp— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) August 25, 2020

lil detail lol
First, there is a feeling around the league that Timberwolves president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas will explore every conceivable option with this pick, including a multitude of trade options. Not only has Rosas already proven himself to be one of the more aggressive heads of basketball ops in the NBA, but also the executive team in charge is also one of the more creative ones in executing deals. Remember: the team’s vice president of basketball ops, Sachin Gupta, created the damn trade machine on ESPN.

My big issue with Kennard is that he seems like the kind of guy who will fall out of the league with one injury. Rooting for him tho, he’s one of the biggest overachievers in the league
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 00:21 (three years ago) link
It seems most charitable to interpret the statement "could actually be really nice value for the Magic as well" as incorporating its logical extension "or it could be a big mistake, who knows? Not me!"
