I see he's there to not only be drafted by an NBA team, but to make all the ladies in attendance swoon as well. Nice!!

I’m rocking my Wagler hoodie, who cares how warm it is already!

Let’s go!

If KW has put on weight, not really seeing it in that suit.
Best of luck to him --for sure he's about to get an incredible payday, just a question of how good.

These morons talking about Washington's core and key players with zero mention of WillyBall.

ESPN is a f@#king joke.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially after what he showed in the second half of the season. If I'm him I got a match lit to perform so well I can get paid and get out of DC.

i am the biggest Will stand but did they actually mention any one that shouldn’t have been mentioned before him?

It wasn't a ranking. It was an overview of the team.

No surprise to see Wagler go to the Clips based on all the mock drafts.

Oranges · 2026-06-23T19:36:25-0500

TOP MF 5

Congratulations Keaton!!

Juju · 2026-06-23T19:38:11-0500

Not that I expected it to actually happen, but the Bulls had ONE JOB and that was to draft Keaton, imo. I'm not sold on Caleb Wilson at ALL. Ugh...

VERY happy Keaton is getting to live his dream in LA, though!!

nonsenseone · 2026-06-23T19:38:21-0500

congratz wagler. hes too good to get passed up at 5. lets go get the chip with kawhi.

IllinoisGrad0609 · 2026-06-23T19:39:18-0500

Could have been a Bull or a Pacer, but I guess a Clipper is good enough.

the problem was top 4 was unanimous. if wilson had a better career gm would literally get fired he took easy way out. i was hoping he fell to 7 and chicago moved up from 15 but it wasnt possible.

So proud of Keaton! Now to find a clippers jersey without the add "visit rwanda" on it. Lol.

Well deserved congratulations Keaton!
