Any more info on which team yet? Lakers have pretty much refuted, but they could be lying.

they will never stop. Once the draft is over. These hypothesis will move into free agent signings/ trades in the off season thread.

Woj and Locke have said recently #2 is up for grabs between Ball, Jackson and Fox.

NBA offseason is by far the best in sports.

LOL, dudes just talking.
Ball has some questions/flaws on the court, not even thinking about LaVar. I'd personally go with Fox for the upside over him at 2.

I call both Tatum and Lauri falling while DSJ rising.

Lonzo was #2 on draft boards PRIOR to the college season? 
C'mon Mamba, we get it - you're a Ball family yes man but you gotta stop spinning things. Top 4 was always Fultz, JJ, Giles, and DSJ. Even Tatum was thrown into the top 5 mix, along with Ball, but Lonzo was never the certified #2 prospect before the first tip.

For some reason I feel like there's a trade brewing between Boston and Philly, possibly with a 3rd team getting involved. I think the sixers really want Ball. A package centered around #3, the lakers pick, and a couple 2nd rounders I bet would get ainge's panties soaking wet. The possibility of walking away with two top 5 picks in a big man heavy draft would be too much for him to resist

If that trade were to happen it would be for Fultz, not Ball as Fultz is by far the best talent and arguably the best fit.

ESPN had Ball #4 as did Rivals
247 had Ball #2
The first rankings from draft express after the season began had him at #2 where he's been ever sense.

Player rankings =/= mock drafts.
At least I didn't know 247 did mocks and I can't remember espn having him that high until January

If you go to the mock history on Draft Express, the first rankings they did after the season started were Jan. 5th. Zo was #2 then and hasn't moved off that line since. The season didn't even start until November.

From what I remember, JJ/Giles/Tatum were the top 3 prospects like 2 years ago. That's what I remember from USA basketball so I could be wrong. DSJr and Monk were the other highly ranked prospects I knew a while ago.
I had first heard of Lonzo from that article on grantland a while back. Didn't think he'd make it this far.

Nah, he'll be the pick. I don't give a damn what Samaki Walker says.
