Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: DG88, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, HiJiNX, Morris_Shatford, 7 Footer

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

3. and then decide between Hardy, Baldwin, Chet and Duren.

Reality is though Chet for sure goes 1 or 2. Unless Jabari or another prospect plays out of their minds.

At the moment scouts seem to be drooling over Chet's defensive potential.

I forgot about Smith but I heard his wingspan is subpar. Regardless if he can play C he does look interesting. Do you think Banchero can play C?

To be honest I don't think Banchero or Smith should play C. Can they (Both guys are 6 foot 10)? Sure. But some of the best prospects in this draft are forwards (Baldwin, Smith, Banchero). I know we have a bunch of forwards but I don't think Masai, Bobby, or Tolzman care. They're gonna take best player available over need.

Agreed

If we somehow, get top 5 pick, not saying its likely or not. BPA all the way, we need a guy who pairs with Barnes. Smith is my guy.

losing always puts a team in a better position to get a better draft pick. And winning means players that were drafted into the NBA, mostly, are performing well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a good thing none of TWO lives where there are teams fighting for relegation, and playing in lower divisions.

The way I view this year is I just want our players to play well. If they play well and we land in the playoffs great. If they play well and we still lose Great. Just support the team and let the cards fall where they may.

The only way I consider this a negative year is if our players don’t get better.

I think you need a Top 3, or even potentially Top 2, to land Jabari. I would be shocked if he is on the board with the 4th Pick.

Now I really do think think we're gonna draft Keegan Murray and suddenly I'm not as excited because if this kid is eligible for the draft then forget Ivey....this is the kid I want to fall to us.

SCOOT HENDERSON


He's only 17 and you can ALREADY see he's just a different kind of athlete and player. But if he is in fact eligible, I honestly think he could leapfrog Ivey but if not he will battle with him. I'd expect he'll shoot up draft boards if he keeps this up and ofc if I'm even guessing right about his eligibility lol In this moment how I could see it playing out..

Banchero
Smith
Chet
Hardy
Ivey
Henderson
PB Jr
Duren
Murray

Wait wait...I didn't think Scoot was eligible?

What's changed?

Henderson has finished all coursework and will graduate high school a year early next week, with graduation a prerequisite for joining the G League Ignite. Because he will not turn 19 until 2023, Henderson will not be eligible for the 2022 NBA draft and is committing to spend two years with the Ignite program.

Perfect type of loss. Scottie showing more development in the clutch and from the 3. Competitive game until the end.
