The 8th Seed

[Jodi]

I think Atlanta is an even more prime candidate to free fall compared to Miluwakee. They are going to trade Josh Smith at the deadline.

Yeah, I think the same...Watch Atlanta trade Josh Smith to the Rockets, remember what Jodi said...

I'd love to make the playoffs. If we could swipe even just one win from the first seed I'd be happy. If we upset them then holy lol.

our draft pick is only protected if we can not make the playoffs.

do we really need a first round swept?

Do we really need the 10th pick in a bad draft?

I think there is a misconception about the draft. What the draft is missing is franchise changing superstars at the top. But it is deep, which helps us draft at #10 or so.

I think this draft has alot of role players. I don't see any potential "star" types really outside of Mclemore, Mohammed, and Zeller.

^I need to start looking at college ball...I have no idea who's Mclemore, Mohammed, or Zeller...

I know the odds are low, but if we're in the lottery, you never know how those ping pong balls are going to bounce. Even with the 10th pick we get GR3. He could be a star someday, but just not next year. That could help us for sure.

The thing is though we're looking at the draft pool as an entirety. Guys like GR3 don't always come out the freshman year leaving the talent pool even more bare than it already is.
