It's not guaranteed to be between 5 and 34. Could be as low as #44, I believe.

It's not 5-34 guaranteed. Lakers could be 14th and jump into the top 4 in the lottery.

I've thought Ainge might like Jarace quite a bit. He's picked a few guys with bigger/stockier body types over the years--G. Williams, Smart, Ojeleye, Yabusele. A few of them had questions around their shooting coming into the draft, and Danny has been willing to take a chance on them. Walker...

STFU you absolute lunatic.

How can you spend all day talking about basketball and think things like this?

Only one borderline all-star, the top two in 6MoY voting and another guy who averages 18 & 4 outside of the Rudy & Don. What a failure of teambuilding.

Kings are -12.8 per 100 possessions w/Barnes at SF vs. just -4.6 when he plays the 4 a/c to Pelton. Some of that is shooting variance, but not all.

My general trade deadline/state of the Jazz thoughts below. 1. Grant & (especially) Barnes are overrated. Advanced stats have never been a big fan of either. I think Barnes is at a point in his career where he's better off guarding 4's. 2. The Jazz have nearly as good of a chance as anyone to...

I'd like to keep top-3 protections, but who knows if OKC would agree to that. The Jazz are always just a Gobert injury away from the play-in at best and lottery at worst.
