Someone should make a list of all the ways Woj went about indicating which team would take what player.

Someone should make a list of all the ways Woj went about indicating which team would take what player.

Here's a rundown of his shockingly prescient first-round tweets:

• Here's how the Top 6 of tonight's NBA Draft is taking shape: 1. Suns: Deandre Ayton. 2. Kings: Marvin Bagley Jr.; 3. Hawks: Luka Doncic; 4. Jaren Jackson, Jr.; 5. Mavericks: Mo Bamba; 6. Magic: Trae Young.
• Jaren Jackson Jr., has grown comfortable with the prospect of Memphis drafting him with fourth pick,
• Orlando is focused on selecting Texas center Mo Bamba with the sixth pick,
• Chicago is zeroing in on Wendell Carter with the seventh overall pick,
• Sixers are targeting Villanova's Mikal Bridges with No. 10.
• Denver has been seriously considering Michael Porter Jr., with No. 14,
• Washington is locked on Troy Brown with the 15th pick
• Phoenix is determined to select Zhaire Smith with 16.
• The Spurs are fixated on Lonnie Walker with the 18th pick,
• Atlanta has zeroed in on Maryland's Kevin Huerter with the 19 pick,
• Utah Jazz have no plans to pass on Grayson Allen with the 21st pick.
• Bulls are on Boise State's Chandler Hutchison. He was shut down in workouts with Chicago promise.
• Pacers are focused on Aaron Holiday at 23.
• Portland has a laser on Anfernee Simons.
• The Lakers are unlikely to resist Mo Wagner with the 25th pick.
• The Sixers are enamored with Landry Shamut at the 26th pick.
• Boston is tantalized by Robert Williams with the 27th pick.
• The Warriors are locked on Jacob Evans at No. 29. (28!)
• Brooklyn will select Dzanan Musa.

Kind of gave up by the time the Brooklyn pick rolled around...

I read Simons was named after Anfernee Hardaway. I've been calling him Penny.

Doesn't that make Neil "The Laser" and not Simons?

Then Simons would be the Red Dot.

(Kinda sounds like a DC Comics hero )

If he gets lots of assists we can call him "Dime"

 

[BBert]

Although from what I've seen, Simons is quick as a laser.

Can't wait for Dame-n-Dime Time

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I just hope we never call him "Bust".

"Little Penny"

The sad part is that Simons doesn't look much bigger than that.
