Realistically at this point we can gather the fifth or sixth most ping pong balls. It is officially time to think about who we are tanking for.
Uh, right now, Knix are 10th draft seed and with Beal done, expect WASh to slide below us. So Knix can expect around the 11th pick.
Pels improved, could conceivably catch us.
Blazers just dumped 3/5ths of their starters, while a 4th (Lillard) is out.
Always some talent in that 10-12 range if you can look past Donovan Mitch being short or TyH having a funky release.
The blown Frank and Knox picks in B2B years really set the Knix back.
Good thing we got Mitch in the Knox year.
Frank coulda been Spider Mitchell or Bam Adebayo.
Knox coulda been either Bridges, Shai or Porter Jr.
Any one of those players would help tremendously.
But if we drafted Donovan and a Bridges ... or Shai and Bam. The whole franchise trajectory would be very different.
