Guess we can rule out putting blind hope on Micic being our PnR ball handler of the future (I don't think we have exclusive rights beyond this year)

I think Micic can only sign with the sixers unless they waive/trade his draft rights. It is just that Micic wont be tied to rookie scale anymore and we have to sign him using our mle or cap space if we ever have one.

That was already going to be the case this summer. Not sure on the rights situation

For the OKC pick:

Rooting for wins: OKC
Rooting for losses: Utah, Indiana, Dallas...and Philly #TTP
Mixed: Miami (plays OKC and Indiana)

It's hard, it's hard.
Look at OKC to finish exactly at 20.

We badly need an Utah loss to start... then to hope for Indy to rest everyone in the next 2 games.

Something I just learned..

Norman Powell is averaging 16ppg.
Previous years? 8ppg and 5ppg.

Indy won. Let's say goodbye to the OKC pick

Seems like Shai is playing tonight. Isn't it ours if they win?

I don’t know who has the tiebreaker between Utah and OKC, but this pick is gonna come down to 20 (theirs) or 21 (ours).

OKC's win over Miami just clinched a top 10 record and a draft pick headed to Philly. Exciting game and gritty win, even if it was largely subs vs subs. . It was a 20 point comeback with Mike Muscala of all people winning it with back to back 3s.

Mike Muscala one of us!
Lol

Easy to say now that he’s struggling, but overall I just dont see how he can be a first tier star with his game.

I think he'll be the typical frontcourt superstar. Won't be able to win without a star ball handler running mate. His lack of defense this year has me very concerned, though. Zion was an elite defensive prospect. Like DPotY caliber. And he was outright bad as a rookie. It's becoming apparent that he's simply too fat to play defense at the NBA level. He needs to lose 50 pounds before next season.

Yeah, Powell has become a really appealing asset. Strong two-way game and he was developed nice and slowly.

The best-case scenario for the OKC pick:

1. Utah wins tonight
2. OKC loses tomorrow
3. Houston wins tomorrow

That would leave Utah and OKC tied. Depending on the coin-flip, we would have #21 or #22.

How good is the guy the Celtics selected with the Lakers pick we traded them to?

I was looking at his college stats and he doesn’t look that good to be drafted that high.

76ciology · Post #2117 » by **76ciology** » Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:27 am

Paul Pierce said Rondo told him Ingram is a top 5 ISO player in the league. Definitely not basing it on stats I guess.

Players also dont make the best judgements. Kobe preferred Evan Turner over John Wall. Hahaha

Do you mean Langford? They took him with the Kings pick last year. He was had some injuries in college, supposed to be a shooter. Had some good moments defensively this year but he's still got a long way to go.

Starting to fill out. Pelicans are going to be scary in two years.

KD, Irving, and LeVert is going to be insane next year. Shame we couldn't make a healthy run at it this year.
