For reference on the picture above, Miller is the same height as Giannis with similar wingspan.

Turner, Favors, Derrick Williams, Kanter, Kidd-Gilchrist, Beal, Bennett, Oladipo, Porter Jr, Wiggins, Parker, Russell, Okafor, Simmons, Ingram, Brown, Fultz and Lonzo are special?
We need the best possible odds to land Victor or Scoot, so we have to be bottom 3. Period.
A man among children.
Sweet Jesus. My mind is still blown
Great demeanor, confidence. Clearly a thoughtful kid
Wow. I am in. I was a bit worried about his frame, but man, this kid is amazing.
I'm starting to get a little nervous seeing both these guys as so many teams are going for them and it's going to suck for anyone that doesn't have pick 1 or pick number 2. What a draft and what a crazy year it will be with teams racing to the bottom.

Frenchy's Tony and Bobo plus Tim and Dav

Convince the guy to to demand a trade from whichever team that drafts him to the Spurs
Exactly what Kobe did to get on to the Lakers from Charlotte
That would take alot of convincing.
Unprecedented. Such gracefulness & agility for someone that size. I see no awkwardness at all. Extremely skilled in ALL facets of the game.
I know we're just playing the odds, but in every game of chance there will be winners and losers. Lets just realize that there will be other factors involved other than the worst 3 records and that one of them will possibly drop to 5. That will be a huge disappointment for whomever that team is after a year of tanking.
In an ideal world like the NFL and MLB the worst teams do pick first, but in the NBA it just doesn't work like that. The NBA wanted teams to stop intentionally tanking for the first pick so they ins uted a new draft process. Well guess what teams are still doing - tanking.
To think the kid is still one full season away from even being drafted...
one might say he has Nash's shot, Rose's athleticism, and Parker's speed and finishing abilityUnprecedented. Such gracefulness & agility for someone that size. I see no awkwardness at all. Extremely skilled in ALL facets of the game.
Wemby and Scoot are the absolute studs of next years draft, but I'm not counting on losses or ping pong balls, I will be crossing my fingers and toes, plus holding on to my rabbits foot for the luck that will be needed to get one of these two generational players. After what I'm sure will be a lost season, next June can't come fast enough.
Phoenix, in 2018, just before they changed the lottery odds. Anything past4years is irrelevant, though, since that is the lottery world that we’re in now. In those 4 years, the worst record team has never won. In the old system, the worst team had 25% odds at #1. Now, the worst 4 teams are almost flat at 14%,14%,14%, and 12.5%.
Quick question... it's often argued that, since the flattening of the odds, the record is not that important, and it's cited as evidence the fact that never did the team with the worst record get the no. 1 pick.
For anyone who argues that, I'd like you to answer this: since the flattening of the odds (2019), what percentage of times did the team who landed the no. 1 pick have the best possible odds (alone or shared)?
Please make sure you read the question carefully before you answer.
3 times by my count.
Wolves, Pistons & Magic.
Thanks. So in other words, 3 out of 4 times you didn't land the top pick UNLESS YOU HAD THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE CHANCES TO DO SO.
I think that's a much better way to look at it that the whole "the worst team never got the top pick" narrative which fails to to mention that the 2nd/3rd worst team had equally good chances and ended up with the top pick 75% of the time.
Ralph Sampson 2.0. Hope he turns out to be the Sampson that could’ve been instead of the one that was.
Yup, bottom 3 record is a must. Gotta give ourselves the best possible odds and leave the rest to the ping pong balls.
The problems start when more than three teams share this mindset. VW is such a rare prospect that we might see a tank-off of epic proportions.
Which is why you shouldn't f*ck around trying to get the most out of every veteran who caps at bench player, and focus on developing youngsters with actual starter potential and in the process position yourself to increase your talent base. It's really not rocket science, the way to go is obvious pretty much for the entire NBA community except for a handful of stubborn ST posters.
