Interesting Draft Updates from ESPN with Jonathan Givony/Jeremy Woo & other sites as well

11:46am

They also moved Rissacher to #1. Spurs sending 4 and 8 for 1 makes sense

They’ve had him there for a while now.

Really? I thought they had Sarr going 1

PHXSUNS31

11:57am

I just checked and the last two mocks before this one had Sarr going 1

11:59am

I keep a mock draft matrix and all my old drafts have Risacher going #1 on espn’s mock.

Well on the ESPN site right now, the 5/22 and 5/13 mocks say Sarr

They changed the 5/13 one. It originally had Rissacher. The 4/17 also has Rissacher. I didn’t see the 5/22 one.

Weird…Wasn’t that a Chad Ford move, change your mocks after the fact haha
