This article preps us for the 52% chance that we don't get the #1 #2 #3 or #4 pick.

So if we draft at #5 keep an eye on guys not named Williamson Morant and Barrett. 

Tier ONE

1. Zion
2. Morant
3. Barrett


Drafting #5 is really like having the #2 pick in the 2nd tier.


So is there a difference between Reddish, Culver, Langford, Washington, etc...?

Let's find out.

Let's see where we pick but I'd be rather uncomfortable taking Ja over RJ.

5-8th seeds in the west are all tied. It’s crazy.

Beyond Mr. Obvious Williamson I don’t have a strong fix on where anyone is in this draft. Tourney will tell some more of the story as it progresses.

It's more about the predraft workouts, camps and the combine.

Thunder were on a tear, then slumped.  At least they lost to good teams during a tough stretch.
SA slumped through a 1-7 roadeo trip, then won 9 in a row mostly at home before a loss to MIA.
Only DEN (30) has more home wins than SAS.  Spurs with an ugly 13-22 road record.

For the lower tier out West, #5 seed looks good, as POR is always playoff beatable.
Then I'd take #7, preferring DEN to GSW or HOU.

Saw MEM-HOU the other day and Griz coughed up a 14 point lead with 4:30 left, in just 2 mins I think.  Some real sloppy play.  Up 2 with 23.5 secs left, Justin Holiday just needs to get across halfcourt and Rockettes would have to foul.  Instead he gets stripped in the backcourt and Harden gets a clear layup.  Ugh.

In OT it was nice to see Chandler Parsnips hit a pair of Big 3's.
I didn't even realize he was playing again.
I think he finished 3-7 on 3's, and was just 0-4 in regulation, but hit some big shots to get an odd W.

Harden takes 40 f'n shots in a loss to a mediocre team, and no doubt he shot well, but even in the "new NBA" I can't be convinced that squad will ever win anything. 8 assists not impressive when you're handling the ball that much and getting that much attention. Can't find Capela for two more easy buckets and get the win?

Zion might be Charles Barkley 
Ja might be Dame Lillard

Zion might be The Greek Freak 0.9
Ja might be Russ Westbrook


I'm more comfortable with the Ja archtype in the NBA than the Zion one.

Is Zion gonna be able to play Defense vs taller dudes?  The Paul Georges of the world. Everyone in the frontcourt in the NBA is 6'9 and above.  Zion gonna stop anyone?

Will Zion even be in the same tier as .... take your pick

Kawhi
PG13
Giannis

Or is he in the

Blake Griffin tier... one step below.

Blake was incredible early on.  Same type of power and athleticism but in a taller frame.
He is still pretty good. 

Just wondering if THAT guy will be the best player to take to win.  Can you build around a scores-in-the-paint guy in this NBA?  Yes if his name is Giannis.  If his name is Zion?  Maybe... or maybe he gets stuffed a lot.  Maybe he looks like Carmelo circa 2016, getting his shots blocked at the rim.

I see no reason why he's not in that top tier.  But, I think it's essentially a two-player draft, he and Morant.  I think the Reddish and Barretts of the world are available in every draft.

I agree about wanting one of the top 2 picks.  I'll sign for #2 right now.


But Zion is playing Center.  He is the same height as Draymond Green.  So he isn't a bad choice.  Will the team that takes him build around Zion as a Center?


BUT we are still wondering the answer to the question: Can Draymond Green lead a team?  Can you build around that guy?

Where do LAL go from here?

That was so fun for me!  I loved every moment.   Gosh if LeBron had been a Knick i'd be such a stan but it is sooo fun to see him lose BIGLY.

I think Barrett has separated himself from Reddish.  Cam is a freak athlete, however.  RJ more complete.
