NBA Mock Draft and let me just start with a big picture concept of this draft

Jeremy I've heard so much about how it's a bad

draft do you agree with that concept you know it's kind of a weird label to just and I know we

kind of do it every year is it's a good

draft is a bad draft I mean I don't know how I feel about that I will say again every

year every draft are guys who end up going later than they should who were like how do we miss in that guy and again I think the point being there's always value to be found in the draft for the teams who are

You know doing this right way and you know get a little lucky so you know I think this is a draft where I think

there's probably less excitement about the lottery the top three I think are pretty

set in the minds of most people but then after that I kind of flattened out. You some of those guys are going to end up being pretty good.
