I understand the love for Ball and Fultz, but Fox will have a better career. His speed is rare in any league and he plays defense. Fox plays with much more heart than Ball.

Kennard at #26 is surprising. the previous projections i've seen had him in 17-20 range.

Prob because Kennard can't play defense in the NBA

Probably based on need/fit at that point in the draft

Only a handful of foreign prospects in that list. Seems like there are always a few that get stashed that sneak into the first round.

Bam is in a tough spot so hope he gets accurate feedback and makes the right call.

This top 40 has Ball at 6. It's an outlier of a list - Ball at 6, Tatum at 2, Fox at 3, that Creighton center at 8 or so, Kennard at 26, etc...

Well now I don't feel good about Bam coming back 10 spots below the back up big from UCLA. Some body is smoking crack. He was dominant inside going against other college player half of the bigs ahead of him didn't draw a double team. When he works out he is gone

If Bam is going to be that low he will come back I would bet. I think he wants to be close to the lottery .
