wait, how does that make sense? why would he fall on draft boards as a result of the nets wanting him at 10? do NBA gms have extra compassion for the nets? like, hey i want to take him at 6, but if the nets want him, we'll pass on him.

either that or if the nets like him, he must really suck, hence he's falling.

Interesting, Tony said Cam Whitmore's college coach doesnt even like him and may be hurting him in the draft process.

i mean, he didn't play Cam down the stretch of a lot of close games - so that doesn't surprise me. that said, he's a ****** coach so not sure how much i'd take from that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to trade down for Hendricks though. Black might be gone at 6 so it would likely be for Jarace.

Indiana definitely seems to be targeting Hendricks or Walker. I think they prefer Walker, but would love Hendricks as well. At least this is what I am hearing from the local guys. I don't think we are great trade partners because we would likely be offering pick 16 or 28 for them to move down. They want less picks, not more.

The dude leads his profile off with "NBA scout wannabe" so that should tell you all you need to know.

I have suggested 9/16 for 7/26.

Is it due to your job?

this is hilarious to me... reminds me of buying a snickers and soda at a gas station as a kid and doing so with like 120 pennies. At some point the gas station attendant tells you to just take it and go.

LOL. I super appreciate your analogies. Highly underrated content.
