Mr. Wit The $h!t
Thoughts, gripes, rejoicing about the lottery should be grouped in this thread. I know it's fixed, it's our turn.

Whew. Can't complain.
Woohoo! Now only if Barnes falls to us.
Some thoughts:
-My gawd was that fixed. I can't believe the NBA had the balls despite 90% of fans knowing they were going to fix it for NO
-Congrats GS fans on keeping your pick
-LMAO @ Brooklyn , Their pick goes to Portland as part of that Gerald Wallace deal. Wallace will most likely opt out this summer. Deron Williams has said he's leaving unless they can get Howard. So...Brooklyn gets a shiny new building but most likely no stars or a pick to build around. OWNED
This is how I see the first 7 picks panning out:
1) Hornets - Anthony Davis
2) Bobcats - Thomas Robinson
3) Wizards - MKG
4) Cavs - Bradley Beal
5) Kings - Harrison Barnes
6) Blazers - Damian Lillard
7) Warriors - Andre Drummond
In this situation I think the Bobcats go with a guy who could anchor their front court and would be ready to contribute and produce in Robinson. MKG provides all the intangibles right now, but I don't think he's ready to immediately produce on the offensive end. Wizards go with MKG to help bring some work ethic to their team. Cavs take Beal to pair with Irving. Kings go with Barnes. They could go Drummond there but I think they're sold on Cousins holding down the fort in the middle. Blazers go with Lillard here. They have holes at the C and PG positions, but they could address the C spot with a guy like Zeller at 11, who could contribute immediately. Lillard will likely be gone before 11 and he could be great with Aldridge in the Pick and Roll with his scoring abilities. Warriors get lucky and have Drummond fall into their lap.
Your lips to those GMs' ears. I would be ecstatic!
Why? What do you like about Drummond? The guy is pure ugly with the ball in his hands. He has ZERO jump shot. The guy shot under 30% from the free throw line. That's Andris Biedrins territory. If he doesn't have a dunk, he doesn't have a shot at all.
I like his speed running down the court and his shot-blocking ability. There's no doubt about those. But once he gets the ball in his hands and he is anywhere other than directly under the basket, he reminds me of Adonal Foyle.
I would rather have Terrence Jones, Harrison Barnes or even Jared Sullinger.
