2015 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[<<TheStandard>>]

People don't want to hear it but honestly @haralabob (on twitter) has always said it best. If players don't want to play in certain cities, maybe those cities shouldn't have teams.
They could always take away teams from Milwaukee and Minnesota and give teams to Seattle, Vegas, or Pittsburgh.


This draft lottery feels completely rigged to me tho.....

So somehow Miami and LA falls into the place so that the Sixers don't take their pick....Ha

How is it fair that Mark-Ass-Sixers gets another fruitful prospect, and will still purposely tank, just to throw em in the bushes

So all I had to do for the team to win #1 was not watch it?

On one hand, HOLY fukkING shyt! It happened! It finally happened!

At the same time, it's gonna hurt so fukking much if Flip takes Okafor over Towns. It really really. At least if Towns was off the board it's like "fukk it, whatever." But God I hope Flip changes his mind between now and late June. I really hope he does. I couldn't handle it if he left Towns on the board. I don't care if Towns threatens to join ISIS instead. Draft him.

Towns>Okafor..
I'm gonna stan the Wolves if they get him

People always say stuff like that but we will be right back here next year...does last years draft seem like one of the greatest draft classes of all time?

2 of last year's biggest potential stars got hurt though...if Julius and Bari don't get injured we would look at this class different.

Very odd and Miami has 10th really but fukk it. Vegas will never have a sports team yet and Pittsburgh is as worst as Minny.

But the point remains this was supposed to be a weak class as well....next years has some very skilled bigs and dudes like Jaleel brown and Ingram.

I might be missing something with Towns. Okafor looks so much more skilled in the post IMO, better footwork, control.

Is it Towns defensive upside and overal aggression?...I think he'll be good, I just think Okafor is better.

The issue with Okafor isn't his offensive game. Besides his FT's he has an AMAZING offensive repertoire in the post. We know. We had Al. We have Pek. We have Bazz. Wiggins is looking like he wants to be a dominant post wing.

He exacerbates most of our existing weaknesses, and as I said in the draft thread, the weaknesses he has are weaknesses this team has never been able to cover for.

Also look at it like this:


Towns and Randle fit like a glove in the frontcourt. Okafor and Randle? Buckets for days with them on D. Good strategy to have LA have to make that work than us.

Pick and roll with Russell and Embiid

#LWO bytch ass nikkas

Goat franchise yall die
@Malta @Bilz @GoddamnyamanProf

Okafor has the personality for LA

We traded the pick so I woulda been more upset if it fell to 6

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Thank god we don't have to see the cavs win again!

They bout to win the ship though

Lakers going to have that Okafor/Randle frontcourt next season

Jordan Hill too

Okafor ain't a lock to go there.

Towns a baby duncan he going 1st

knicks gon fukk around and draft that krista porzingas nikka, end up like darko milicic type shyt

Next year class will be weak because the one and done freshman outside of 4-5 guys look very subpar. There could be a guy who shocks us like d-russ but I'm not high on that draft at all.

It begins.
