It's a bit lengthy, but worth the read. Makes you root for this guy every step of the way!

Assuming they don't bomb on the draft, Bucks may be fun to watch next year. Put Wiggins/Exum/Randle/Parker on this team, that could be interesting.

Grantland did one a couple weeks back, a bit longer, but also a good read.

and this part hurt:

quote:

Eventually, most league executives believed they had to get ahead of Atlanta with the 17th overall pick to select Giannis.

What's more, most NBA teams believed the Hawks had assured that spot to Saratsis as a ground floor on draft night that Giannis would never fall below.


the Hawks did end up taking foreign players with the next 2 picks after Giannis, man I wish he had been there instead.

ETA: didn't realize that tidbit of info was taken from this article
