No idea how he's falling so far.

I think he'll be the best player from this draft.

Considering OKC has two established, top-tier superstar players, no. Milwaukee has built a nice foundation, but they desperately need shooting. Middleton is about to get paid like a guy who scores 20/night, he needs to make that leap. Given the current state of the NBA, their inability to space the floor (as constructed) is a major issue. Now that Ilyasova is gone, OJ Mayo (who you completely left out of the OP) and Jared Dudley are #2/#3 behind the arc...neither player is in their long-term plans. I'm not a huge Brandon Knight fan, but I'm not sure the MCW trade is a net positive for them going forward either.

I live 2 blocks away. Very excited about the young Bucks but kinda sad that it feels like I'm losing my Pelicans fandom somewhat.

Khris Middleton, Giannis, Jabari and $22MM cap room. I think they can address both of those aspects.

Idk about 4th or 5th. Don't forget that Pacers and heat had some injury problems.

Cavs Bulls Hawks Pacers appear to be pretty good bets to be top 4 seeds. Then you got wiz kids and the raptors and the heat.

Mates, this post was ahead of its time. My young Bucks will be at worst a 4 seed this coming season - so much youth and upside and still some room to make moves

How are the mom and pops? Have you learned to cheer for your team more quietly when they are around?

Fairly good, mate. They were to bring my GF and I to the airport today for our vacation to Miami only I goofed and got the flight time wrong. So now we don't get in until 2:00 tomorrow, we lose a day of vacation, and it cost me a ton more SWA points.

Ugh. I have never f'd up so badly in that regard - just didn't look at the itinerary closely.

Here's what Moose will look like in his Deer uniform BTW

Probably more like the "post-Carmelo" Nuggets under George Karl a few years ago. Young, athletic team but doesn't have the star power to take them very deep into the playoffs.

Giannis is already an All Star and Parker certainly looked like he will be an All Star before his injury. Was clearly winning ROY race when he went down, and "got it" way sooner than Wiggins did.

I thought it was going to be here or NYK for Moose.

Now he's on a team with enough length to protect the rim.

He's going to have career year.

I don't know if they are the next OKC... But they are loaded with a lot of young talent, especially at the SF position.

If Jabari comes back and is healthy and he and Giannis keep improving, along with Middleton and Monroe... That's a scary team with an excellent future.

And I think Kidd is the right guy for the job. He's a lock for the Hall of Fame and the youngsters for the Bucks soak up everything he tells them. He's showing them the ins and outs of the NBA and helping them grow. It's the complete opposite of his Brooklyn team. They had vets that had been in the league for a decade and didn't need a coach like Kidd. Think he's a great for for the Bucks.

You mean the guy you listed as a 6th man in your OP?

who are their durant and westbrook? Honestly they dont have anyone with that kind of upside.

Sucks they lost Dudley, cause they need 3pt shooting.

I could see them as the 4th seed potentially.

Cle, Chi, Atl...

Miami should be right there at full strength. And maybe Washington
