I know it's just summer league, but the star potential from the guy is just so obvious to see. Don't know if he'll get there, but man, it's going to be exciting to see if he does.

I agree. The handwringing over a bunch of end of the bench guys is hilarious.

I'm happy for him that he gets to go to another team, but despite his maddening play sometimes, I loved the guy on the Jazz. Like with Favors, I wish the Jazz had a ring of fame for players who were not quite worthy of a jersey retirement but still contributed a lot to the team.

I would have liked Kaspar, but hey, Clayton seems like a solid pick.

I'm working while it's on. I did stop for a bit for the Jazz's pick, but if it weren't for working or scrolling message boards I would have tapped out a while ago.

It is ****ing horrible. Man ESPN just absolutely sucks.

I don't know, but now's the time I wish Danny would dip into the ol war chest and move up to draft him.

I'm not getting the vibe he was miserable at all. Dude was all smiles and laughing and hugging when his name got called. He looked pretty happy right before this screenshot was taken.

Thrilled with this pick now. Yeah, he could bust I guess, but the Jazz needed to swing for the fences, and he's a hell of a swing. If he does bust I won't regret it because that's the nature of these types of picks. Hopefully it's not his attitude that will come out. That said, I like his...

Honestly, my preference, assuming Flagg/Harper/VJ are gone, is Ace/Tre/Fears in that order, and not by much. I won't be upset with any of them and will hope that the Jazz scouting and coaching staff knows what they're doing.

I've been talking myself into liking this pick, and honestly it hasn't been too hard. He has a lot of issues of course, but he also appears to be a hard worker with some elite ball handling and driving skills. I'd still probably pick Bailey or Tre if either are there at 5, but on the other...

He's literally a consensus top 10pick (and honestly, a lot closer to a consensus top 5 than 10) in a strong draft, so either he's more than a Royce O'Neal, or this draft isn't that strong.

This is how the Hornets started their run of awesomeness.

Ace, but not by much. At this point I just want the Jazz to roll the dice on upside, and he has the most. I'm not down on VJ like others are. Dude is extremely athletic and from all accounts has a great work ethic. That's usually a recipe for success in the NBA. And Tre seems like the...
