Tank World Order (6.0)

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

That seems to be the consensus among the experts. Maybe not 'really bad' but definitely underwhelming.

I sold all my things, packed my bags and have loaded all my belongings, along with my self, onto the tank train. It’s truly a great time to be a Raps fan.

Please lotto gods be with us.
Go Raps!!

Same thing could be said about the talent level on our team.

What choice do we have?

The Ant and Lamelo draft was a “weak” one.

Vassell, Haliburton, Maxey, Anthony, Bey, Stewart, Bane, were in that draft.

Every draft has talent.

I actually like this draft more compared to last year. I see a lot of guys with offensive upside that translates to the pros easily.

I have confidence that Masai will find decent talent even in a weak draft. The key is for him to have a good pick to work with; hence why we need to continue playing the way we are and trade FVV and Siakim for picks and filler.

Idk where all this nonsense about a weak draft is even coming from the top 8 or so look great and there's plenty of guys with solid upside...

Paolo
Chet
Smith
Hardy
Ivey
Henderson
PB Jr
Murray

Then you have Watson, McGowen, Griffin, Brown, Dieng, Collins, Mathurin, Houstan, Keels, Jovic etc...seems like a complete fabrication imo.

Seems like there's no percieved #1 superstar yet from this draft class. All the better for us, if it's stacked middle heavy I have faith that our scouting team will pick a player that will exceed expectations for the spot he was picked

Thanks for the list. TBH, I don't know anything about this upcoming draft. I am going off of what others are saying. I am hoping it isn't a weak draft, as you are suggesting, while we have a great pick.

Gonna need Hardy to start shooting the ball more efficiently. So far he’s putting up Suggs efficiency in the Gleague

Where would a 20 year old Scottie Barnes go in this year's draft?

He’d probably be competing with Cade and Mobley for that top spot. Better than both Jalens

If we get a highly ranked offensive talent in this draft, we need to dump one of Fred/Siakam. Why? They will not tolerate pound the rock/out of control shots and will get frustrated. They will know immediately they have more natural offensive talent. Scottie is still realizing his offensive potential so he's not there yet.

Which Scottie Barnes? pre-draft Scottie Barnes or today's Scottie Barnes? There is a big difference
