Tankapalooza. The NBA Draft Edition.

One does not simply win games.

 

[BAM]

sorry philly, but you can't out-tank my Bucks. It'll take a lot more than 25 straight losses to do that.

 

[TotallyHacking]

Poor bucks, they're trying to win and they can't.

Julius Randle is going to be the second best player in this draft. Wiggins is legit, bur Randle will be a monster.

 

[Lifer]

Worst record don't get the first overall pick as much as 3rd or 4th worst record so its still a total crapshoot.

Randle will struggle mightily in the NBA imo. He doesn't have much athleticism and his length will be a problem when he faces bigger and longer guys in the NBA.

The NBA lottery is a ridiculous system

 

[TotallyHacking]

I think he's just going to get better. He uses his body way better now than he did in the beginning of the season, not to mention most people forget this guy has nba range on his jumpshot. This is the most overhyped draft I've seen in a long time however.

 

[Kingz]

Lottery is rigged anyway...hopefully they rig it for the Kings for once and give operation "Make it up to Cleveland" a year off.

I dont think people forget he has a jump shot and can improve it. People seem to mention it often ro remind people since it isnt used much at the college level. His problems though arent things that can be fixed. Being a poor defender due to his physical attributes and movement, having less than average length for the position, stuggling to finish over longer and more athletic players, those arent things that will change.

Clenland has had like 8 top 10 picks since the 00s.

The franchise is fkin awful.

That's a great logo.

Hoping 76ers get a top 3 pick and become contenders in the East in a few years. Parker, Wiggins, and Exum would all be great fits if Noel comes back and can stay healthy.

 

[Partlow]

Bucks will probably get the #3 pick, with the Lakers and Celtics picking before them.

I think the best fit would be Parker or Wiggins. Either one + Giannis = fwap

Embiid injuries lately worry me and Id rather not have to deal with a potential Bogut 2.0

 

[TotallyHacking]

I kind of hope the 76ers get the second pick?

If they get the first pick they have to draft wiggins.

Can you imagine how awful the spacing will be with Carter-Williams, Wiggins, and Noel would be? I can't sleep already.

Great site. Ranks the teams in tank order, shows each teams chance at a top 3 pick and top pick. Also ranks the top games to keep an eye on for the tank.

Phoenix has 3 1st round picks?

 

[Team Dagger]

Pretty obvious the Lakers get the first pick, the Celtics get the second pick, and the 76ers get the third pick.

 

[benjaminbuttons]

Last time the Celtics were in position to get a top 3 pick, they ended up with the 5th pick. We finished with the 2nd worst record that year. This year we're probably gonna finish anywhere from 4th-8th worst. Hopefully we get lucky and get into the top 3.

Yeah, I think they have three this year and two next year.

 

[Tension]

Yeah, I think they have three this year and two next year.

They have Indiana (top 14), Washington (top 12), Timberwolves (top 13), and their own pick this year. Timberwolves looks like it is going to be protected, so it goes to 2015.

In 2015 they have that Timberwolves (top- 12), Lakers (top 5), and their own.

pretty sweet.

Parker reminds me of Dennis Scott. I hope his work ethic is a little better.
