Among many things to me this is the most frustrating thing about this season. There are 2 parts to tanking: Losing games to get a high pick AND playing raw talent a lot to build reps, skills and confidence. But injuries have robbed Isaac of pretty much the whole season so even if we do lose enough to get a good pick we wasted an entire season of potential development time. I guess Gordon got more reps but frankly I worry he got worse with higher usage not better. And the rest of our development was Iwundu and Birch. Nice bench pieces but not the purpose of another tanked lost season. Sigh.

Yeah we did not look good at all. Against any other team we'd lose. The Hawks are actually that bad and their tank is stronger than ours obviously. They allowed Dedmon to shoot eight three point attempts, the most by any Hawks player.

He is actually a good 3pt shooter now. Sadly better than most anyone on our team.

Lol yep. Just ran the sim again and Orlando got the #1 pick. Same thing happened to me yesterday. Think I better stop and not use up all of this good mojo I have stored up.
