Has anyone tried to get onto nbadraft.net recently?  I get nothing but a bad gateway error.  It's a shame, although slower at times to update mocks, I like the site.

I still go to DraftExpress.  What do others use?

I think they're embarrassed ranking Tatum ahead of Jackson, and don't want too many people to catch that.
LOL

DE seems the best, but they're all speculation.  Tankathon is pretty good too.

Funny you should post this, I just went to nbadraft today and it was crazy slow for some reason. I don't know what's going on.

I still go there because I like seeing another mock draft and they usually have nice summations of the top guys but DraftExpress seems to have more of a pulse on what's going on and their video breakdowns are just top notch.

I really only use those 2.

Same Vecenie is a good draft expert. Here is something he wrote recently

Dean on the draft is good.

The step back has some good draft articles too.

What's on draft and Ode to Oden are two good podcasts if you want to learn about the draft that way.

It's quite impressive that Fultz is still considered the top player, he must of left quite an impression on scouts becasue Lonzo Ball has been absolutely elite in the tourney, at the beginning I felt only Fultz/Jackson were an NBA players out of this draft, but as I'm understanding Ball's game more and more I feel he could be a Hall of Famer. 


All of the sites I visited then are still almost the same at the 1 and 2 spots. Nothing has changed. Unless Lonzo wins the tournament with some sensational performances.

Why? That's entirely plausible. Tatum has no off-court issues and is said to be a great kid with a terrific work ethic. He's also 1 calendar year younger than Jackson.

Vecenie has Tatum ahead of Jackson as well.  I wouldn't, but as E20 says it's reasonable.  No reason for these guys all to be in lockstep.

 Hey Guardian, did you say Ball and And Hall of Fame in the same sentence? That's my boy!

I'm confused. Isn't Chad Ford the indisputable expert here?

I have to admit, I can't read him regularly because I don't have insider, but I'm always interested when someone on CB posts his latest mock.

That was before last weekend where jackson clearly emerged ahead.

It's funny how nbadraft.net does not update it's skills ranking ... which is a cool feature, but here are their top 4.

Fultz -99
Ball - 100
Tatum - 94
Jackson - 100

If Tatum were a 94, why on earth would anyone take him over Jackson at 100.  94 is pretty low on their scale - Marcus Smart was a 96.
