So now I'm hearing it was a sprain but there's a lot of ambiguity with how the team is describing the injury. His team is saying that Nikola's injury does not require surgery 'for now'. I think we could be looking at a situation similar to what happened with Michael Porter Jr. when the Nuggets picked him up after he fell all the way to 14 because of his back surgery. Could the Spurs pick up Topic with their 8th pick?

It's strange. I know they are exceptional, but with Joker and Embid competing for MVP the last 2-3 years and Wemby as unanimous ROY, shouldn't more teams think about size? I see too many teams that are good but lacking that and it costs them in the playoffs.

i like castle fit wise in charlotte.

From a Rockets fan POV, based on Udoka's comments; we should and probably will take Reed Sheppard. I think a Houston Big Board goes 1. Sarr 2. Sheppard 3. Topic 4. Dillingham. There's a log jam at forward with Brooks (or whoever we trade for lol). Jabari and Tari Eason. Amen is playing more like a wing recently, so having a guard seems more useful with the pick. Love the vids Matt!

This is the most accurate mock I’ve seen, good job 👏

Love Missi to the Raps, hopefully play him alot and have one more bad year to add another lottery pick

I’ve been really looking forward to this man your videos and your analysis is really dope and insightful bro

If the Spurs can get him in the 2nd round they should take him but i think he will be a top 25 pick.

Collier or Carter are my favorite picks for the Heat. Ryan Dunn to the Knicks is a good one for sure.

As a Blazers fan, I'd prefer not to have the forwards too competitive and crowded up while we continue to look to develop both Bari and Toumani. It seems outside of here in Portland, most people do not like Bari for some odd reason (he reminds me a lot of the manimal honestly), but I really appreciate what he brings, and his energy is so necessary to a otherwise shoddy roster and team success-wise. Toumani I couldn't be higher on, and I sincerely believe he's got limitless potential, and his mentality and non-stop effort on both ends play is not because of some insecurity with being a second round pick and thus just trying to do so until he earns his first big contract. I believe that's just him as a player. So we need to focus on them. Crowding up the center spot though I'm game for. DA is inconsistent and you just never know if he's going to play with confidence and aggression, or if he's gonna play lazily with little to no real effort or care. Rob is injury prone, and honestly he should be traded if the front office is smart. We need a proper backup big that hopefully can play some 4 as well reliably when Bari and Tou aren't playing there. JG needs to be traded too, so this is pretending the front office is actually competent and trades him out to open that starting spot.

17th pick most likely remain with lakers. Pelican will choose to obtain 2025 picks over 2024

I think the draft is like a normal draft if you got rid of picks #1, #2, #3, #7, #12, #16. Is that fair to say? so the top 2 picks are like #4, and #5 and the end of the lottery is like a #20 pick

I will definitely be making plenty of mocks between now and the day of the night of the draft, other than Sarr if I get the rest of the first round picks right I'll be shocked, I might even get Sarr wrong, what if Atlanta goes in a surprise direction and takes Zach Edey which to me is not a top pick or even a lottery pick, even though I heard he had a good combine

I have a good feeling Blazers are gonna trade a vet like Grant, Simons, or Brogdon to get into the top 4. There's no way they're happy with winning 7th and 14th picks with how their rebuild is going so far.

Interesting trade idea for you! Pelicans get: Dejounte Murry and Okongwu Kings get: Brandon Ingram and Larry Nance Hawks get: Harrison Barnes and Kevin heurter, dillion Mitchell and Dyson Daniels plus 2 first from kings and 1 from pelicans lottery protected. Hawks start the rebuild, they get more first round picks along with some young talent with some vets that can be flipped down the line. Kings get that 3rd star, he can provide scoring and some defense and with Larry nance a good back up big. The pelicans finally get that guard they want and they can get a starting center as well, thus why they had to give up a first. I believe the salary works but lmk. Thoughts?

We are not going with another guard

Spurs should draft if he is till available Clingan for second unit defense.

I think Ime Udoka is going to fall in love with Ron Holland and pick him at 3. The guy is just the best defender in this draft and I think Udoka is gonna develop him well.

I had Topic and Dillingham going to the Spurs, some would say why would the Spurs take two point guards, I think they need point guard bad, with hearing what I heard about Topic , I had him at 4, and think he will move down further. My mock draft I have is going to change, I definitely love the idea of Reed Sheppard to the Hornets, as a backup to LaMelo or even out on the court, and having Miller play the 3 at those moments, Buzelis if drafted by the Hornets would give them some size at 1,2.3 with LaMelo, Brandon MIller and Buzelis , I don't know much about Buzelis but if he is solid defensively that would be exciting for the Hornets.

A player has to play defense to earn his minutes in Spurs. Dillingham is not the guy. He's better somewhere else since he has that star potential. It's just not a great fit for the Spurs since he's ball dominant. Wizards will need bigman or scoring guard so Dillingham or Clingan will be their pick. Spurs will have Topic and Knecht for their 4th and 8th pick.
