2019 NBA Draft

[NeedlesKane]

Too early to really speculate how things will fall for the draft. It's not a 16 game NFL season. It's a long 82 game grind, and we're not even 10 games into it.

Before the season started the Lakers were chosen as a lock for a playoff spot. It's not too surprising that we lost to them, but it was disappointing given the circumstances. Same goes with the Spurs. We even made it interesting against the Raptors. That's 3 of our 7 losses.

Last year the Suns swept us, but I still feel like we should have beaten them this year. We made it interesting until we couldn't do anything in the final 6 minutes. The Hawks, Jazz, and Knicks are the other teams to beat us. Sure, you'd think we could at least win 1 of those. At this point you could totally expect a few more wins, which would place us in a 3-way tie with the Thunder and Grizzlies with one of us sitting in 9th.

Do we want to flirt with the playoffs or keep some level of excitement and hold on to our #1 pick next year? Right now it's looking good for us, but if the ball drops like it did last year we could end up with the #6 pick and lose it to the Hawks.
