HAHA! We actually got technically the first 2 picks. By the way, so basically the teams know before the TV announcement if they won the pick.

I wonder if they are allowed to tell the representatives sitting on live TV before it's announced. Probably not.

No. According to Bordow (who was in the room), everyone has to turn in their phones before going in. Only the guy who delivers the envelopes is allowed to leave before they announce it on TV.

This meant meant a lot to that man. You can also tell watching the video that top 2 was a big breaking point.

He was so excited! Nice to see Vlade there too. It works out. We get Ayton and Vlade gets Doncic, who will be a perfect fit in Sacramento.

It's a bonus to see Vlade disappointed the Kings didn't get #1 and have to congratulate McD since he was sitting next to him, basically. Never liked Vlade.

Vlade is a good people. Always was a class act. I also guarantee you he wants Doncic, so I don't think he was that disappointed.

I always like Divac as well. The Suns should have drafted him.

I was sweating it with Fox standing there beside Jackson.

You kidding? Vlade is thrilled. He jumped from 7 to 2.

Good stuff JC. McDonough was very emotional and thankful.

Great moment caught on video.

Yup. Never had any problems with Vlade. He was a character and a super skilled big man who probably could have been very very good if he was eating 40 cigarettes before breakfast.
