This is the exact opposite of what the Ringer dude predicted. Instead of teams getting scared and not drafting the project big men, they are drafting them ten spots higher than projected.

Was Giles supposed to be gone by now?

People guessed Portland at 15 but before that he was like 22ish

He has serious movement problems and basically has to be re taught how to move, like Utah did with Gobert before he got to play any NBA minutes

likely He does favors and gets info out they want so they toss him a bone and give him picks ahead of time to make him look good.

The teams send them in earlier than we can see on tv so they can get the player ready, the team can call him, they can get the hat ready and the highlight package cued up, notes ready, they need a few minutes of leadup for TV production

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

On most boards yeah. Draft express dropped him to 34 today before the draft though so maybe someone found out something. I always had him at the end of the draft. He does have a very high ceiling but man four different knee parts have been torn.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

He's a Woj protege so I think Woj is letting him break some of the picks after the top 8-10.

He's Woj's God Son, they're one and the same, he budded off of woj like a piece of Coral

It's a good pick for Sacramento and their pile of high ceiling low floor bigs

agents, mostly. the agents give him scoops to build a readership and in return he pushes the agents' lines in his articles about negotiations
