Is Lonzo Ball a distant relative of Tom Ball, namesake of the city where Jimmy Butler grew up? (Tomball. It's literally called Tomball).

OH drat I just checked and the Rockets have two second round picks from the Nuggets and Blazers, plus their own first rounder. Could be a pretty good Morey draft if they don't trade those

Looking at draftexpress, I feel like this draft is an extremely solid draft by names, but we need some sort of grading curve for this, with a year-by-year analysis of drafts.

If Monk doesn't celebrate dunks with a namaste or perhaps a 5 minute meditation in the lotus pose I want no part of him

I feel like there are a few upperclassmen who come in and contribute right away every year, but from a personal standpoint I'd go as soon as I could get that guaranteed contract (see the cautionary tale of Alex Poythress)

I'd like to propose that an NBA team should use a second round pick on football player Kobe Buffalomeat, MLB style, in the hopes that he'll eventually embrace his destiny and play basketball.

Rockets doing their offseason fishing by working out Quinton Hooker :thunk:

Other good names they worked out: Tacko Fall, Paris Lee, JaJuan Johnson, Kavin Gilder-Tilbury, Kennedy Meeks.

I'd like to throw in the Houston Basketball Rockets in the ring for good drafting, specifically Morey manages to get rotation minutes out of guys and then somehow get out before they become horrible.

Thunder/Warriors probably have the best but if you go on from that to who's been hitting on those mid to late first rounders and second rounders, there's Utah, San Antonio, Houston, Milwaukee.

Being bad at drafting also implies that you were at least smart enough to hang onto your picks or get more so as bad as Cleveland and Charlotte have done they're still doing better than the New York teams imo
