NBA Draft

[The Q]

I am glad that the Pistons and Rockets didn’t get rewarded for tanking too long.

Yeah, the spurs definitely didn’t tank….

Oh they did, but one season

 

[The Q]

I don’t think hou even tanked.

They’re just that dysfunctional and had zero nba PGs on the roster

Only a late first rounder rookie from kentucky who couldn’t beat out non pgs for the job

Houston has done so bad with all the picks they have had they don’t deserve any better

 

[The Q]

That’s a fair statement as well.

Although they’ve been pretty chalk with industry consensus with their picks

Winner

I hate being right

It’s not just when you get the first pick, it’s the year you get the first pick. Has the lottery ever done more for any franchise?

Robinson
Duncan
Wembenyama

Too late to edit. First sentence should read:
“It’s not if you get the first pick, it’s the year you get the first pick.” You know what I mean but I’m high and likely undiagnosed OCD.

Does this remind anyone of the 1985 draft with the Knicks and Patrick Ewing...to an extent? The Knicks went from 24-58 the year before Ewing to 23-59 his rookie season and 24-58 in his second. They eventually got better.
(1)Spurs
(2)Hornets
(3)Blazers
(4)Rockets
(5)Pistons
(6)Magic
(7)Pacers
(8)Wizards
(9)Jazz
(10)Mavericks
(11)Magic
(12)Thunder
(13)Raptors
(14)Pelicans

Not at all.

Why assume the Spurs won’t be any better?

Frozen envelope pt 2?

Why?

Robinson
Duncan
Wembenyama

 

[thunderc]

Well the guy kind of lost me when he said David Stern was involved.

 

[elguapo]

This shit is shady. NFL does it right, the rest are ripe for cheating as seen tonight where worst team in NBA gets 5th pick

Some mocks have them snagging PG/SG Amen Thompson (6-7, 215). We'll see. Who knows...? He could be the steal of the draft.
