My guess is it will be just our luck to "win" the third pick again.

If the 5th/6th is a coin flip, why is there such a different in %?

You had one with us last season and you guys got third and we got fifth. All the more reason why I expect us to be picking sixth this draft.

So we have an 8% chance at landing Rubio, huh.

I thought we won the coin flip? I could be wrong, though.

I'm pretty sure we lost the Portland coin flip. We won the coin flip against Memphis last year. In fairness, they should automatically win the coin flip this year, but luckily (in this case) the NBA isn't fair.

I like it. Maybe we can pull a Vikings and just decide not to make a pick in time through the entire first round. It should save us cap space at least.

Wow I was pretty confident abour our chances to get one of the first 3 picks, but with those % it will be tougher than I thought.
Damn, 8% for Rubio is really really low.
Anyway if we don't fall to far and if Rubio and Wall enter the draft, we should be able to pick a very solid player, like Thabeet.

Is Trevor Winter eligible to be picked? How about Jeff Hagen? We could use the size.
