Tank Fest Update Around the League

I get a hard on thinking about getting Simmons or Ingram...

Len
Simmons
Warren
Booker
Bledsoe

Less excited about Ingram although I am conceeding that Ingram overall is a safer pick than Simmons with a better chance to be a star. Simmons has a higher ceiling but due to his limitations as a shooter I think he is a higher chance to underachieve also.

Anyway the Suns have no talent at the 4 once Markieff is traded.

Watched some highlights of Ingram last night, admittedly for the first time and he does remind me a lot of KD. Long, wiry, but fast, coordinated, great handles and a good shot. I do echo your assessment of Simmons vs Ingram in terms of reaching their potential. Ingram seems like a guy you can slot on any team and he'll be able to get you buckets in any role on offense. Simmons, I feel will take some time to get into the flow of the offense unless a team is built specifically around his strengths.

I watched him a bit too last night. Simmons could have a little harder time, at least initially, unless he is playing point forward surrounded by shooters, because not having a shot hurts these days. With our current team, Ingram might fit in better unless Knight just spots up for 3s (and gets better at shooting them) and doesn't go iso (not sure if that will ever happen) and Bledsoe gets a little better outside shot.

Since Bledsoe should perhaps start relying a little less on his athleticism, maybe if he stood more at the 3 pt line along with Booker and Warren, spreading the floor, then Simmons could do his thing and run point...Len could pop out to the ft line and open the lane as well.

Tomorrow night Brooklyn plays memphs minus Marc. Very good chance to put some space between us. Sixer's at home against the kings, and wolves at home against the raps. Wolves don't have too much of a shot but the nets and Philly could both win.

Lakers might have a shot at beating the Cavs if the Black Mamba has another 81 point game left in him

Looks like we'll all lose... have to wait until after AllStar Break to resume the TANK.

Wolves won tonight. Beat the soft Raptors

Mulhollanddrive · Post #212 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Thu Feb 11, 2016 4:10 am

3 games clear of 5th.

Can't believe how bad Brooklyn are for a team with no reason to tank.

bhawk · Post #213 » by **bhawk** » Fri Feb 19, 2016 10:57 pm

Start your engines the TANK race is on like donkey kong! Houston tonight.

MUST LOSE GAMES:

Nets Feb 25
Nuggets Mar 10
Twolves Mar 14
Lakers Mar 18
Lakers Mar 23
Kings Mar 25
Twolves Mar 28
Jazz Apr 3
Pels Apr 9
Kings Apr 11

2 against the Lakers, Wolves and 1 against the Nets.

How strong is our tank? It will be interesting to see how we play without Markieff. Could we actually improve? I hope not...

We may need some groin pulls. Make it happen, McDonough!

Nets won... So

Suns need to do their part...

Wouldnt mind seeing lakers win against spurs... Kawhi isnt playing.

Suns are definitely doing their part.

As of tonight, we're a 1 in 3 chance for pick 1 or 2.

Isn't there a better chance we move back than get #1?

Yeah we are more likely to move back to the 4th/5th pick compared to staying in the Top 3

For 3rd worst team lottery odds of landing each pick:

1st - 15.6%
2nd - 15.7%
3rd - 15.6%
4th - 22.6%
5th - 26.5%
6th - 4.0%

It's kind of crazy that the 5th pick is the most probable, but of course all teams below us combined have a better chance of jumping us than no one jumping us, which is why it all just comes down to luck. Hopefully we are the team to jump.
