2022 NBA draft lottery thread

[oldtimer28]

Hi,

Draft talk is quiet this year.

Predictions for lottery order and exciting rookies?

Hope Orlando get the first pick. They are due.

Would be hilarious if the Pels ended up winning the lottery with the Lakers' pick as they have a 26% chance to land in the top 4.


There isn't a consensus #1 this year so I think some teams might trade down. I like Banchero's offensive game the most and think he could fit on any team. Chet would be awesome in NO if they managed to move up in the draft.

I didnt watch Chet much but hate the way he looks, so fragile. Can he play good vs bigs with core strength? I don't think so.

The big prize is in 2023 class in Wembanyama. This draft class is relatively weak.

He just turned 20. He's still a baby as far as developing strength goes. Wouldn't bet on him turning into a monster physical freak like Giannis. I'm thinking more along the lines of if he adds strength like KD he'll reach his potential.

They're a really well run franchise. Ownership knows how to run things without nepotism and ignorance. They're so good.

****ers. ****ers, ****ers, ****ers. Shaquille O'Neal leaving Orlando was probably my first experience in the world with genuine heartbreak.

Same fvcking losers rewarded over and over again...yet never go anywhere

You expect instant results? If you're a bad team building through the draft, it takes years. ...Magic should be better by now tho, I'll say that. But Kings leaped up 3 spots, OKC always tanks no matter what, and Rockets just became bad like 2 years ago? So...

Adding onto this... Even tho I made a joke the other day about the Kings picking Bagley, it's unfair to call them losers using 4 years of information the Kings didn't have. There was a lot of opinion that Luka should have been the pick, but nobody was saying Bagley was a reach at the time of the draft.

To be fair, the Kings are about the only team you can make fun of. But with Vlade gone now, let's see how things turn out.

Kings and Magic will never go anywhere

#8 is still very good for the Pels

Bran did a good job tanking for them.

Congrats to the Magic. Hope they make the most of it - the franchise really needs this.
