First Egyptian player ever drafted. He seems like a high character guy. Interview with Rich Eisen: https://youtu.be/Mww52h5Wyxs

I don’t think who they draft will say much if anything about their plans for contract extensions moving forward. Brad has made pretty clear that they don’t draft based on position need. Maybe position need is one factor, but they want the best players for their system, regardless of position. If they think the best player at 28 (or whatever number they trade up to) is a WR, CB, or S (e.g. Golden, W. Johnson, Starks), I would not be surprised to see them go that route tonight, even though arguably the defensive line is a greater need at the moment.

I think it’s Greg Gania, the Erie play by play guy.

With the Hawks loss today, the Pistons’ magic number is now down to 1. They are in the playoffs with one more win, or one more loss for both the Hawks and Magic.

Pistons magic number is down to 3 with the Hawks loss tonight.

I‘m pretty sure the number dropped from 7 to 6 today. 46 wins would guarantee the 6th seed. Hawks can‘t do better than 46 and the Pistons have the tiebreaker over them.

Actually, I think the magic number is 8. Eight more wins puts the Pistons at 46 wins total, one more than what is possible for the Magic, and the max wins possible for the Hawks. The Pistons have the tiebreaker over the Hawks but not the Magic.

How do you figure that Philly would have two losses against common opponents if they win out? Right now, their only losses are to TB and ATL. Detroit never played Atlanta. Philly would end up 5-1 also against common opponents unless they lose their second game to Dallas (the only remaining common opponent). Maybe I’m missing something.

When did Ice T support Trump? Do you mean Ice Cube?

Mariners are done. ESPN just hasn‘t updated. KC has the tiebreaker.

Four games already today won by a last second field goal. I wonder what the record is for one day/week.

Did anyone catch why Dan Dickerson isn’t calling the game today on the radio? I don’t recognize either of the two voices.

It's a shame that they can't pair Cade with someone who can actually score other than Grant. I know it's only G-league but Saben Lee has scored 42 and 35 in his first two games this year with the Cruise. He has barely played at all in NBA games this season so far.
