1- 14%
2- 14%
3- 14%
4- 12.5%
5 - 10.5%
6- 9%
7 - 7.5%

Getting to those top 5 I believe is crucial. Also prevents us from slipping too far in case we lose the lottery.

yeah Raps need to get to 6th at the bare minimum, i think we can fall below Cleveland and Washington if we try

We have to lose both games to OKC, because they're nipping at our heels. Problem is, Thunder have divested themselves of talent (or at least Horford). It will be a challenge, but Masai is a driven man. He'll make the necessary adjustments.

With Shai and Dort out too it’s gonna be a tough one. Hopefully Moses Brown feasts

yeah the only one particularly close for me is Mobley but I’d still have Cade a tier ahead

Same. He’s gonna be a great pro. Getting him would change the fate of this franchise for the next 10 years

As things stand right now, we have a 31.9% chance at a top 4 pick. If Washington can beat the Hornets at home today, we’ll move up a slot and be at a 37.2% chance for top 4

Is he the safe #1 pick? :lol:

I think Wiseman was the safe pick last draft even though he played only 3 games.

Ayton and Bagley were the safe picks instead of Doncic.

He’s basically a Luka/Simmons hybrid so I’d say it’s a safe pick with high potential

I think with Wiseman, Ayton, Bagley it just shows that some GMs have old fashioned view when it comes to bigs. Cade is a perimeter player with skills.

Hopefully we sit Lowry for rest and either Siakam or OG.

Haven’t seen much talk of Keon Johnson around here if we don’t get a top 5-7 pick. Personally love the kid he’s explosive, smart, tough, and have endured and overcome a lot in his career so far. He strikes me as a Masai type of pick.

Bruin · Post #1415 » by **Bruin** » Tue Mar 30, 2021 6:32 pm

Suggs and Gonzaga will be playing Mobley and USC later today in the Elite 8. Should be a game worth watching to see both of them in action. I’m sure Masai will be watching

I'm so bummed that I'm going to miss at least the first half of the game.

Cade isn't the safe pick as in NBA ready role player, but safe as in easily better than everyone else lol

For our first pick I want to grab a SF or SG who can create their own shot and defend their position. We really lack a guy who can get a bucket when things are not flowing in the offense. We've seen this so much even during the Kawhi season that we need players who can do this consistently. It makes us that much harder to guard.

For the other 2 picks in the second round I would like to either combine them or use them on bigs who can help short up the frontcourt. Boucher for as good as he's developed isn't a long term solution there. There are some senior bigs out there who can help in those areas.

All in all we need to restock to cupboard with good young talent that can grow around Siakam/OG/FVV and be the next core moving forward.
