For those who enjoy NBA insiders spoiling draft picks way before they are officially announced by Adam Silver, tonight is going to be a rough one for you. Adrian Wojnarowski, Shams Charania, and everyone else associated with ESPN, Turner Sports, and Yahoo aren’t allowed to do their jobs of breaking news tonight. We will all have to watch ESPN’s telecast…
Or just monitor Woj’s feed before he has to go live, because the guy is out here tweeting how the draft is “taking shape” through the first six picks:
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.

Not only are there six picks, Jaren Jackson, who is picked No. 4 here, doesn’t have a team listed next to his name. Go ahead and ramp up the trade rumors on who is getting that pick and two years of Chandler Parsons.
Shams, meanwhile, has Ayton and Bagley “locked in” as the first two picks according to his sources:
Sources: Phoenix (Arizona’s DeAndre Ayton) and Sacramento (Duke’s Marvin Bagley III) have locked in on the NBA Draft’s Nos. 1 and 2 picks.

Sidenote: Look out for other outlets leaking picks. It’s only ESPN, Turner, and Yahoo silencing themselves on one of the biggest news nights of the offseason.
