The correct answer was neither :( View: https://x.com/NBAPR/status/1924888168509141258?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Does anyone have any comps for a player that was super raw lottery pick and arguably one of the worst minutes-receiving players who still ended up becoming something? I don't need star upside, but Paul George and Jimmy Butler had quieter rookie seasons, but any player who was a disaster class...

A solid B seems fair to me, but closer to a B- than a B+ for me. Keyonte/Brice/Collier/Flip are all good to really good picks in my opinion given the range and the options. Hendricks was unfortunate, management even said as much with him being the #9 guy on their board. He was supposed to be raw...

I wish Portland had their 2026 pick to trade outright, they seem like a team that could sell themselves on being closer than they are and doing a trade but still ending up ~12th in the West next year if things break wrong. Plus make it on draft night and get #11, couple more picks, maybe some...

Plus he gets the enviable position of being the brother of a guy who should easily make $200+ million in his career

Maybe has been discussed a lot but haven't kept up with the threads, but seems like any Lauri trade is greatly benefited by doing a Milwaukee trade that convinces Giannis to give it one more year, and Sexton/Collins expirings and 2025 seconds for Lillard and top 4 protected 2031 1st seems like...

I know people here aren't big Utah Hockey Club fans but they jumped from #14 to #4 in the lottery (the highest they could, they limit it to jumping 10 spots). I will take this as a good sign that the stochastic gods are with us.

It's winning the lottery two years in a row (#1 this year and likely top 2/3 for AJ) plus Doncic not just signing a max extension and going all the way to free agency instead of demanding a trade plus Doncic choosing to join a super young team that was a dumpster fire the previous 4 seasons (not...

Does anyone have any idea which direction New Orleans will point next year? They seem like the most unpredictable team in the league right now. And with Ainge and his love for value this does feel like a recipe for a random and kinda confusing trade.

I like nearly everyone on this Knicks team, but I still just enjoy watching them lose because they're the Knicks

Man, hate the thought of tanking in a play-in situation, but Memphis would be much better off with their late lottery pick then getting curb stomped by OKC

If the Wizards get top 4 then they were won it in the lottery If they get #5, then they didn't win the lottery but the Jazz did so they have the worst record when we switch to order at #5 If they get #6, then neither of us won top 4, but we still have a worse record so we get 5 and they get 6

The only way for the Wiz to get the 6th pick is for us to get the 5th pick, so I guess some comedic relief but I'll mostly just be sad

There is not any great metric to say what a "big market" is, but I think team value evaluation's is a decent proxy. Dollar speaks and while ownership is a hobby they still look for ROI. Aggregating a couple different sources puts San Antonio at #20, just ahead of the Jazz at #21. Would...

Younger people on my team at work often talk to me about imposter syndrome. Which I get, but the world is full of idiots who fail upwards to take inspiration from. If KOC can make millions being **** at covering the NBA with no additional skills or charisma, then don't be so hard on yourself...

If you're the Hawks do you talk yourself into Jalen Johnson getting healthy and running it back? They've been below .500 since that bubble run

Maybe just a victim of the present, but both of them are at the top of a "seasons from hell" list. Along with Dwightmare/Nash Lakers, Prokhorov Deron Nets, and one or two of the KD/Kyrie Nets. KD/Klay injuries in 2019 was a postseason from hell, and didn't hurt as much given the previous...

Just in time for the lady luck to bail them out with another generational prospect (*knock on wood*)

We are now a February (28 days) away from the draft lottery
