Wow! That's surprising with two small market teams. The NHL Finals were down 40% in the US (up significantly in Canada)... why the massive swing?

TNT for the NHL and ESPN/ABC for the NBA is a big reason.

They are using a new rating metric.

NHL is down because they went to tnt this year. Next year is abc again.

Is the NBA having the picks in person today, for the first time (where all teams are on the draft floor)? Looks that way in the background but could be wrong.

I hate Stephen A Smith. He is just the worst. Does he even have an indoor voice, or just loud and obnoxious hot takes?

Haha. He's entertaining because he knows he's being ridiculous. He's super American in that regard. Just plays to his audience. Americans love their TV personalities who drivel like cheap preachers.

What's the thought? He was thought to be lower on the draft board but not that much.

Best defender in the draft, needs work on the shooting. Sounds like a Raptors pick


In Masai we trust

They just said a Draymond Green. That would be something.

Stephen Smith is way too much. He's not even entertaining, he's just too much

The Raptors usually believe they can improve a players shooting. CMB seems like he could be a really good pick if he can improve that part of his game. Not that I’ve watched him myself, but that’s what scouting reports seems to say.

I always find the NBA trading market leading up to the draft to be fascinating. Only one team picking 13-30 holds their original draft choice. That's the Celtics at #28. Only a few picks in the NHL draft get moved, in the NBA they exchange them around like candy.

I was hoping for a big C. Disappointed we passed on the opportunity for Malauch.

Maybe it was more of a shock "I can't believe it reaction"? Like F*** me, I just got drafted. Hopefully this isn't a Steve Francis situation.
