They released the green room invites last week. 20 invites. Ayo was not invited to attend according to the list.Anyone know if players will be present in the "green room" or if it's all virtual? Wonder what Ayo's gonna do; presume he's expected too late to be there in person....hopefully a big party at home surrounded by his friends and family.
Always painful watching that one guy who through he'd go early that keeps slipping and is the last one there in person....
Yeah best thing for him would be going to a team with good leadership where he has a good chance to develop. The Knicks...are not that teamI hate the Knicks. Please no.
I loved watching the Nuggets this year and I think it would be a good fit. He would have a chance for some early playing time with Murray out for a while still with his knee injury. Plus, playing with Murray and Jokic would be great for Ayo; lots of learn from those two both on a work ethic and basketball understanding front.Recent CBSSPORTS mock has Ayo going 26th to Denver....if he goes around a spot like this at least he will be on a contender.
He seems to be slowly dropping in most mocks, really hope he doesn't go in the 2nd. Producing 1st round draft picks just holds so much more weight for recruiting.Recent CBSSPORTS mock has Ayo going 26th to Denver....if he goes around a spot like this at least he will be on a contender.

This is possible. Patrick Soon-Shiong owns the Times and also ~5% of the Lakers. Bought Magic's share a ways backToday's LA Times has Ayo going #22 to the Lakers. Wonder if there is any local knowledge in that pick?
I could see him going on the earlier side due to his professionalism and overall character. I think those things get overlooked quite a bit in mocks. Sure, athleticism, skill, etc. are main factors in drafting someone - but these are businesses hiring employees. If you have two options for your pick, and one's character trumps the other's, that could likely be the deciding factor in who they select.Saw two mocks from The Athletic today. One author had Ayo going #25 to the Clippers. The other had him at #30 to the Jazz with a range of anything from #20-35. He also noted that he would be surprised to see him "get beyond this range" at #30.

Thank you. I have not understood that one bit.Can someone explain the hype around Franz Wagner? 12PPG with an average of 31.5 minutes per game? Not overly explosive or athletic. 32% 3ptFG%. I dont get it.
And while you’re at it, Cam Thomas please? Watched some of his highlights. Not overly quick/explosive. Decent form on jumper but shot like 32% from 3 and 40% overall. Really just looks like a chucker. I don’t see a borderline lottery pick.Can someone explain the hype around Franz Wagner? 12PPG with an average of 31.5 minutes per game?
