Could happen, it's close. You think THT will be off the board before Cavs 2nd pick?
The first few mocks I looked at had a center with that pick, although the next few just a little bit ago had a guard. I hope it does because I need a New Jersey.... Irving and James jerseys aren’t doing it for my anymore.

False. Nobody needs New Jersey.
I fixed it twice and my phone kept autocorrecting so I gave up.

Multiple updated mocks now have THT going #20 to the Celtics.
Today's ESPN Insider draft post has THT going in the 2nd round at #33 to the Sixers. Hope that doesn't happen...but I wonder how nervous his advisors are at this point?
There was a blog post about him on a Pacers fan site last week. The author felt like 18 (where Indy picks) might be too high to invest a pick in THT. I think he's probably right; late first round is where I'd feel comfortable taking him. Plenty of potential there but he's going to need a lot of time to develop his game, too.
They were talking about THT's draft position on Miller and Condon a couple weks ago but I can't remember who the guest was. Long story short they basically said that they felt pretty certain that THT was advised to stay in the draft and that there were late 1st round teams that told him that they would take him if he was still on the board. This happens a lot...
CBS Sports (Gary Parrish) Mock Draft... No THT in the first round.

THT was always toeing the 1/2 line, but as the time nears, he seems to be sliding moreso to the second.
I wouldn't want him in Toronto.
Raw and talented but will never hit that ceiling with his selfish play.
Man, could have been you Lindell (next season)...
WARRIORS
Carsen Edwards | Purdue | Jr | PG | 6-0 | 199
Edwards' incredible performances in the NCAA Tournament — especially his 42-point game against the Virginia team that went on to win the national championship — helped the Purdue junior with NBA front offices, and now he's a likely first-round pick. The 6-0 guard averaged 24.3 points in 35.4 minutes per game this season while shooting 35.5% from 3-point range. At worst, I think, Edwards projects as an instant-offense contributer perfectly suited to come off of the bench for a team filled with shooters like Golden State.
A season or two of connecting flights and busing from one G League outpost to another can can do wonders for a person's humility. He's worth the pick just to see how he develops and matures.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would not be shocked to see him go undrafted. I don't think he will, but I wouldn't be shocked.
I would be absolutely shocked if THT went undrafted. He checks all of the boxes the NBA scouts are obsessed with regarding potential.
