Draft order updated, bitches!

UNC F John Henson is the "likely" pick at No. 9 for the Pistons, according to the Detroit Free Press.

According to the report, the Pistons will "entertain trade proposals" to move down in the draft, but should the team hold onto its pick, Henson is viewed as the most likely selection. He's been projected in several mock drafts to land with the Pistons, and this will do nothing to quiet that speculation

The Raptors have "stayed aggressive in their pursuit" of Syracuse G Dion Waiters, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

In addition to Waiters drawing significant consideration from the Cavs with the No. 4 pick, the team is also reportedly interested in Florida SG Bradley Beal.

However, the Cavs have been understandably hesitant at taking on Tyrus Thomas' poisonous contract in any potential deal to move up to the No. 2 slot. Per Wonjanrwoski, "multiple league executives" believe both Toronto and Phoenix

I don't think going to the prudential center to the see the draft would be very exciting, you basically just hear the names called and that's it.. On tv you have all the coverage, opinions, trade speculation, reports etc

actually love this for detroit. i can't really think of a better player to pair with monroe. it will allow detroit to hide monroe a bit on defense since henson is such a great post defender. he's also serviceable on offense.

i think taylor will be a really good bench player in this league. would add even more depth to a potent OKC team

[bagelred]

Couldn't agree more about that player. He has tremendous upside and real NBA potential. Great length. He's long with a tremendous wingspan. Gives you intangibles but still needs to work on his overall skillset. The question being will his skills translate to the NBA level. Still all in all, an excellent prospect at this spot in the draft.

I'm assuming that "Where will Austin Rivers go" is the big talk for tonight

The Bobcats are really the team that is on the clock not the Hornets.
