As we approach the half way mark of the season, one thing is sticking out like dog’s balls – this year’s rookie class is playing terribly. The Dunkyard breaks down the ugly truth.

Lloydy and Dave live in a location where the NBA draft commences at 7.30am on a Friday morning. For the past three years, it’s been a perfect reason for them to take the day off, commence proceedings with a whiskey and dry (or two) and watch the NBA draft with their big boards in hand. This year, they’re joined by Disco Stu (and his big board) and take you along for the ride with their very first NBA draft diary.

The process is simple (for a three person game): if someone predicts a pick right, and the others don’t, they each drink a double shot of a 40% liquor of their choice. If two predict right while the other doesn’t, the loser drinks double that.

Is there really anything you’d rather be doing at 7.30am? Enjoy.
