It’s here. Time to quickly shift gears after an exhilerating Game 7. Out of Write Field wrapped up its second annual alternating NBA mock draft this morning. For those new to this, we each take turns acting as the front office of the NBA franchise selecting with our pick, making the call based on what we would personally do (disregarding trades, sorry Boston) rather than what likely will occur. After patiently trudging through last year’s NBA mock and this year’s NFL mock, Miggy gets his shot at a Wisconsin team’s first rounder, but conveniently the end product saw each of us making one of the Bucks’ three selections. On the whole, the results were littered with surprises. The Philadelphia 76ers have made a promise to Ben Simmons, much to the chagrin of OOWF. Jack’s beloved Thon Maker fell to 47. Milwaukee’s own Diamond Stone fell to, well, no one. It’s draft night. After the Larry Nance Jr. fiasco, who knows what we have in store?
