They will come back from personal reasons and push us back into 7th. Let's GO!

Hopefully we don't see them or Barnes until next season.

We're basically a lock for 6th place at this point. I think Memphis wins 1-2 of their next 10 and we either lose them all or get lucky one game.
We started too late. We could been up there with the worst of em had we tanked a tad bit earlier.
Honestly though why do people care, I haven't heard anyone that's excited for this draft but some fans here are mad we haven't been tanking all season to hopefully go up 1-2 spots.

At 6th spot, you can't go up 1 spot. Its 9-10% chance for #1, #2, #3, or #4 each, then 9% chance to stay at #6. Otherwise, 54% chance we are conveying the pick.

About half the time we ended up 7th or worse and conveying. We really can't lose now. We just have to beat that 7th ping pong ball to get our next Bargnani. We stand to be the anti-Spurs and claim first pick in the really bad historical drafts. lol Point is you could could beat the odds here and not have it matter than much. The safest play is probably to convey, because we're right back in this scenario next year.

A dose of reality for tanknation is needed. Losing this pick, is the best thing that can happen.

team has operated on half measures since 2019.
well, it's more accurate to say the only exception to the team's history is 2019.

Yeah I was watching the NCAA tournament the other day and there was this guy Reed Sheppard who was having a great game. The broadcasters were talking him up. But watching him, you could just tell he has NBA role player written all over him. I go over to some mock drafts and see this same dude being mocked as a top 5-10 guy in the draft and I immediately knew this draft was actually trash if a guy who woulda got picked 25-35 last year is being mocked top 5 in this draft. In that same game, I watched another guy who was mocked as a lottery pick, Rob Dillingham, struggle to create any sort of advantages on offence. Ultimately, these two lottery picks lost to a bunch of no named guys from a college that hadn’t won a game in the NCAA tournament since the 1990s. That’s the kind of draft this is.
