NBA draft night

The NBA draft went on its way, I'll spare the details, there were evident losers and winners. It all depends on how we look at the draft but one thing was for sure, the Clippers grabbed a star, and the rest, we'll have to see. It was surely an unpredictable draft where quality players, notably the pitts bigs, dropped to the second round on consecutive picks while the Timberwolves grabbed four quality point guards in the first round, although not all would stay there. Trades were also creating a lot of buzz around the league especially the shipping of the Big Diesel and Vincanity. The Rockets also came out to buy a lot of late round picks, the Trailblazers doing what they do best, grabbing a lot of players in the draft, while the Pistons draft a lot of well known players that slid late in the draft. After all that has been said and done, I can say that next year we will have the same set of lottery teams because none can carry their team like what Lebron did to the Cavs. Even the Clippers might struggle to win games despite their big addition. But still, I don't take anything from this draft because it is indeed unpredictable. We can't say who will make the immediate impact and who will play big roles. But one thing is for sure, we have to wait and see starting November.
