Our bench has sucked post ASB. Before last two games our starting lineups were top 5 in net rtg (our bench was dead last) but now they are down to +0.7 thanks to the two losses and bad ratings for starters in them.

To be fair. . . one of our starters and two of our bench players pre-trade deadline are all now starting for other teams that are above us in the standings. Plus, we’ve also had three major contributors of our own nursing injuries. That’s bound to have an impact on the bench. It’s a testament to DA that guys like Agbaji, THT and Fontecchio have all stepped up as much as they have so far. Each guy looks like they’re in line for a bigger role next season.

I’m hoping for at least one top 10 pick this year. Two would be better, but I don’t have much hope that Minnesota ends up in the lottery this year.

I'm hoping the Lakers play the Twolves in the play-in and push them down. Lebron/AD/Dlo in a single-elimination game is a tough proposition, especially with the TV networks wanting the Lakers to advance.

Yeah. That would be ideal at this point. Knock them down to 13 or 14.

Our current #9 might be the best we can hope for. 2.5 games ahead of the next team.

Those Celtics and Kings wins…

Yep. Did the same thing yesterday after all the games were over. Ended up with Wemby, JHS & Sidy. Winning the Wemby sweepstakes changes our trajectory really fast.

This might be one of my wettest dreams outcome

Jazz realistically should’ve dropped their recent games against Orlando, Boston and Sacramento. Had that happened, they’d be sitting at 32-41 and the 6th pick - only a game and a half out of the 5th spot. Those 3 games are going to loom large if the Jazz miss out on a top prospect this year.

Whose available at 6, but not at 9, that would be a game-changer for us?

Whose available at 6, but not at 9, that would be a game-changer for us?

If nothing else a 37.2% chance of jumping into the top-4 vs a 17.3% chance.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Who’s available at 6, but not at 9, that would be a game-changer for us?

If The Thompson Twins go 4 & 5, one or both of Jerace Walker and Cam Whitmore would be there. But at what cost to move up?

I love that we get Wemby. I am almost just as excited that San Antonio gets boned as well.
