Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 The results are already determined before the broadcast anyway. But it would be cool if they published the actual combinations and the winning combinations for each team haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone other than Atlanta jumps in we get pushed back a slot. Maybe Philly (and pick may confer to Boston) and Cleveland will both jump us and drop us to 7th.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 You guys can be pessimistic about the lottery. It is a single drawing event. We could end up 8th as unlikely as that is. But just remember that picking 1, 2, or 3 is a more likely scenario than picking 5th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicdoc1 261 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 It really doesnt matter what position we end. We are getting a really good player this year anyhow. Yes, it will be great to be a top 3 as we will have more options but at 5-7 we can still select Young which a lot here think he will be a great option above others at the top. I think we should not stress anymore when it comes to draft position. It is what it is. Personally, i like Doncic at the top with even Bamba above Bagley and Ayton. Then JJJ , Ayton(coin toss) followed by Young. Doncic Bamba Ayton JJJ Young 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping for the best even though greatest % is for us to finish 6th (36% chance). Not pessimistic at all but simply philosophical. Your second sentence describes it perfectly. The lottery is a single drawing event which the NBA does not need--NBA is popular enough. The draft, to me, is about allowing bad teams to get better, to have hope and a chance to be competitive. Recent history shows many playoff teams getting much better picks than non playoff teams. First change I would make, if you want to keep the lottery, is any playoff team would go to the back of the lottery based on record. That would be a start to REAL reform.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 We are most likely getting the 6th pick. I think given how often we've been in this position lately that we're due for an above slot pick, we'll see though. I understand liking Young from a fit perspective for our team, I really hope if that's how we go then we trade down then. I don't see him being drafted before CLE at 8, and even then its a ?.

First, we are not sure if we pick at #5 and 2nd we dont surely know how Doncic will adapt to the NBA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
