What will the Sacramento Kings do at #8? Aaron Gordon?
The Sacramento Kings are no doubt one of the red-headed stepchildren of the NBA. As a franchise, they're....they're....not good. The Kings are annual fixtures in lottery land.

How aggressive will Houston Rockets get this off-season?
In acquiring James Harden and Dwight Howard the past two summers, the Houston Rockets have proven to be one of the more aggressive teams during the NBA off-season.

How far does Joel Embiid fall? #7 to L.A. Lakers?

Even though he has major back issues, and often played like a freshman for the Jayhawks this past season, he still ascended to the value of a top three overall draft pick.
