We will have the 4th worst record probably and possibly the 5th, so we will draft between 1 and 7 or 8. I'd be happy with Bender, who could slip if people (for whatever reason) continue to be enamored by Brown, and also Murray, who I think is a guy who teams may want.

There is no safe position in the lottery....even if you have the worst record, whether you think this is a 2 or 3 person draft, you could end up picking 4th.

We have two pretty good shots at striking gold, McD has shown that mid lottery area is his sweet spot so that Washington pick is going to be great for us. If we get a top 5 pick and draft the best pf available we should be good

exactly, we'll most likely have a top 5 pick regardless and another in the lottery, moving from the 3rd worst record to the 4th or 5th isn't a large game changer. lottery winners and their pre-lottery postions since 2002: 9/14 have won it from 4th or higher

What happened to Booker's shot? Who'da thunk it, that Booker's go to play is get to the hoop instead of knocking down a three?!
