There's close to 10 players who could be very very good. Even Cleveland can't screw it up.

Imagine how balanced a Lebron-Kyrie-Embiid team would be. A star PG, the best 7 foot prospect since at least Dwight, and simply The Best. Surround them with half a dozen shooters and you're printing rings.

The back issues are a load of crap... It's all a stupid smokescreen by scouts.

No doubt wiggins work ethic and jabari parkers character will be questioned over the next couple of weeks.

He will be 1st or 2nd.

A big with limitless potential...

He missed games due to it. He's no can't miss prospect but he will go first 2. Wiggins has his issues, handle isn't the best and may lack that killer mentality. Parker has fitness and athleticism issues, probably best used as a stretch 4. Exum biggest worry will be his shot but hell make that up in free throws........if he gets that up to mid 80%

Noah Vonleh is a player I really like. Probably the safest bet of the lottery picks

Dwight is 6 10 on a good day, only 2cm more them Durant and same height as Anthony Davis.

I dont think they are much hope of keeping Kyrie, let alone getting LeBron back

Kyrie is going to stay if he has the chance to play with Lebron. And Lebron will be there if he decides Cleveland has more potential for rings than Miami does in 2015 and beyond.

Embiid with a fractured foot, to go along with his dodgy back.

good night nurse.

I say he drops out of the top 5, similiar to Noel last year.

Embiid isn't dropping out of the top four unless there's further medical issues that haven't been made public yet.

Last years draft was trash. One of the worst ever. Noel was projected to go numero uno prior to hurting himself. If he can get back to what he was (and he should) he'll be a great rim protector for Philly and a great pick given it allowed them to tank and he got better in the process.

I bet the Cavs trade the number one pick tomorrow and end up taking Embiid anyway with whatever the trade back for (#3, #4). They want him, they just don't want the pressure of taking him number one in case it doesn't pan out.

Pretty hyped for the draft tbh, much more so than in normal years. Am very interested to see where Exum ends up going.

I can't wait for tomorrow, it's a different experience for us Lakers fans, we haven't been in this position for a while.

I expect a lot of moves tomorrow, just want to see what happens

It's always a bit harder to get excited as a Spurs fan for the draft lol
Still interested to see how it all pans out though obviously!

I've got literally no idea what's happening in the draft, there's about a million possibilities for the top 10 draft pick order. I'm hoping the Lakers get Marcus Smart.

So everyone seems to think Embid at 3. Can't see any middle ground with this pick, he'll either be the steal of the draft or bust of the draft.

I wonder what happens now at Philly with Noel and Embiid...

Philly are just stockpiling assets like crazy.

You would have to think Dante Exum will be next to the Magic.
