Guess the Pick! 

Post#1 » by Sloanfeld » Sat May 15, 2010 2:11 am

Three more days, time to take a crack at it. Face it, we aren't the Spurs, there's no way we are getting the number one pick. I don't have hope for a top three either. **** like that just doesn't happen to the Utah Jazz. About a 2.2% chance for #1 and 8% for a top three. I'm guessing two teams move up and bump us to 11.

My top three:

Washington
New Jersey
Philadelphia

Every time I start getting excited about something, Sloanfeld is there to destroy my dreams.

Well look at that...I had to post again. In commemoration of my 1111'th post, I'll vote for the 11th pick and hope it's wrong.

I think one team will jump ahead of us.

Wow

Gotta love the positive waves you guys are giving off....

Top 3; I voted for 3rd. Don't worry, I'll be on here to brag when we do land in the third spot :D

Ekpe Udoh, or Hassan Whiteside in that order.

I'll go with the boring pick and say 9.






But KOC trades up to 6.

I'm gonna go with 9 as well. But I really have a feeling the Jazz are gonna pull something on draft night.

OK I just realized that my logic is flawed. The teams I picked in the top three aren't ranked 10-14 so nobody bumps us. I pick 9 then. Been a while, almost forgot how this thing worked.

We have the 9th pick. Little chance we or anyone below us moves up.

Well i've used espn's nbadraft simulator and 2 out of 7 times I had run it, it had let us move to 10. I mean.. this is the Jazz in the lottery were talkin' about. If it could happen to anyone, it'd be Utah.

Don't put any money on that.
I'm guessing we go 9th.

That thing sucks! More than half the time I've used that the Nets got #1, yet they only have a 25% chance of that.

It seems like the only guy the Jazz could trade up for who would be that much better than a player at 9 would Wesley Johnson and that would probably signal the end for Matthews or Kirilenko in Utah.

I could see the Jazz liking one particular big man and trading up to make sure they get him.

The only players I'd trade up for is Wall, Turner and Favors.

@ Sloanfeld - It probably sucks cuz it already knows the outcome of the lottery draft. lol
