Joining the Evil Empire.

We're proud to announce that Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz will be joining ESPN as NBA Draft analysts. DraftExpress.com will remain on the web with all of our existing archive, but will not be publishing any new content moving forward. All articles, rankings, mock drafts and event recaps moving forward will be published on ESPN.com. Thanks to everyone that has contributed to DraftExpress, and the millions of readers who have visited our website diligently over the past 14 years.


I wonder if ESPN will make their content Insider access only.

There may be nbadraft.net but it's a lot more enjoyable comparing them as the draft process unfolds. ESPN hiring a couple of guys to monetize that fan base, which includes me. Draftexpress was a fun read for me.

If I ever get Insider, it'll be around draft time when it's worth the reading. But pay for it for all year access? Nah.

Its ok fellas. Draftexpress had Kyle Kuzma #43 on their board. Any reputable draft site would have had him 3rd or 4th. No big loss

That's awful! Who would stoop to such a low thing? Where can I find these sites so I can to investigate further.
