You have questions about the 2016 NBA Draft. Our experts have answers.

The prospects have been scouted and ranked, the mock drafts have been assembled. NBA Draft preparations have been in full swing for weeks. The big day is almost here but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of unanswered questions. Who made a promise to Malachi Richardson? Which injured big man to the Philadelphia 76ers select? Who rocks the biggest bowtie on draft night? Who’s going to save my favorite team? Who’s going to get my team’s General Manager fired?

We’ll have answers soon enough but if you were willing to wait for history to unfold for that information, you probably wouldn’t be here. By the way, the answers to the questions above are (in order): the Memphis Grizzlies (probably), Ben Simmons (healthy, hopefully), Jaylen Brown, Buddy Hield, and Marquese Chriss.

To try and get a handle on the draft’s biggest unknowns and looming questions, we called in some FanSided experts for an NBA Draft roundtable. Joining us are Ian Levy (@HickoryHigh, Senior NBA Editor for FanSided), Josh Hill (@jdavhill, Editor for FanSided), Chris Stone (@cstonehoops, Assistant Editor for Upside and Motor), and Tom West (@TomWestNBA, FanSided contributor and Editor for Clipperholics).

Next: Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram?
