    I've seen a few of these posts, MJ does not own the Hornets anymore. He sold his stake in 2023, there were some rumors that his gambling addiction was extreme (hundreds of millions in debt) to the point that he needed the money. I'm not sure if I believe it given his residuals from Nike, but the fact that he is now willing to go on TV after all of these years, there may be some truth to this.

    Does anyone know if they start showing the results at 6, or is that when they do the lottery behind closed doors?

    Damn didn't know Harper's wingspan was 6'10. He should be a defensive menace at this level with some excellence, effort and energy. Van Gundy quote

    ESPN talking heads talk for 5-10 minutes, introduce team reps, do the lottery 14-3, take a 5 minute commercial break, do top 3.

    This is the whole reading the picks out loud and coaches / team representatives are there and shown for the final 4? How long does it take?

    If Rockets do not land #1 pick, I want Hornets or Kings, those franchises deserve something good.

    Maluach and Kalkbrenner are both legit 7 ft.. Not so much for Wolf.

    Excellent measurements for a wing, similar to Tatum, Brandon Miller.

    It's been 23 years since the Rockets had the first pick in the draft. By far the longest drought in franchise history - 2002, 1984, 1982, 1976, 1968.
