mathematically, bottom 5 still ideal for bottom 4, even 6 gives you an outside shot. odds for no.1 still bad for everyone. but that's just long run probability. anything can happen if you draw once. :)

Detroit could very likely pick Mobley that’s like the only button feeder I worry about going after him. It’s not impossible for us to land Mobley. I know it’s not likely, but there is a chance.
Mobley could play PF. Minny is one of those few teams where it would make sense. But they're not going to go for a project cause of KAT. So you're prob right.Quote:

Moses Brown was a good find but he's not mobile enough to be a starting 5 on a good team. OKC is just going to draft BPA IMO. SGA is great but I think Presti still wants to find his guy.
Rockets i think are going for a wing.
Detroit is a wild card. Their young core is still pretty bad. I still think they're going to BPA.
Way to burst my bubble trace lolQuote:

Houston is most def going for a perimeter player, no doubt.
Minni does need a PF, I was hoping the same thing would happen as last season when they passed on Wiseman for Edwards, which seems to have worked out ok for them.
I know it’s wishful thinking, and a long shot, but if the ping pong balls land in our favour ya never know.
I think what partially excites me about this draft is that plans B, C and D are exciting too. As long as they don’t go way off board...Quote:

I think a lot of GM's careers are on the line with this one. I don't think a lot of them want to risk it on Mobley. So if you're high on Mobley, that is is your copium.Quote:

I could see OKC taking Mobley.Quote:

I think Toronto can catch up to 5 maybe.
Barnes, Bouknight, Jalen Johnson, Keon Johnson, Kuminga etc. After top 4, it's a **** show.Quote:

I rarely like to go with needs as a posed to picking the bpa, but our 1 through 4 is pretty set already. Even if the big man is a project, at least we have someone to develop at the 5 instead of over paying for a mediocre big in free agency.
Two games against the Nets, two games against the toe nail Clippers, one against the Jazz. Those are all scheduled losses IMO.Quote:

5 is most commonly Kuminga.
6-9 is a variety of candidates: Keon Johnson, Scottie Barnes, Moses Moody are commonly in this range
James Bouknight, Davion Mitchell (recent surge up the draft board), Corey Kispert, Jalen Johnson, Ziaire Williams and Kai Jones all find there way mixed with the above names in various mocks.
