Tracking the Draft Stock of Louisiana's Elfrid Payton

Since this is the first NBA draft I've ever watched, how many minutes does each team have on the clock?

I don't remember exactly how much time, but all in all, it goes much faster than the NFL draft. They'll fit both rounds in tomorrow night in a few hours. It'll be maybe 5-10 minutes per pick in the 1st, and a lot of the 2nd round will go by very quickly, a lot of it spent reviewing the 1st round and talking about the insane trades and outright purchases of draft picks that will have likely occurred.

For those interested, there's a live mock draft show tonight on NBA TV that could give us an idea what the "experts" think/are hearing.

Elfrid Payton has definitely moved up into the top half of the first round of tonight's NBA Draft. Now the question is where will he end up: as a lottery pick, or going to a championship contender late in the first round?

Questions are everywhere in this draft, which many have claimed is the deepest draft in years. Even the No. 1 pick is a question mark, as the Cleveland Cavaliers have not yet said who they will pick; either Duke's Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins of Kansas.

While I would love for Payton to go to the Bulls, they're going have to take him at 16 not 19. The Celtics and Suns would both be picking for second time at 17 and 18. Some team is going to roll the dice and take him well beforehand.
