After looking at the standings I just don't see how we get above the 7th pick. They're not going to catch the Clippers, but they could catch possibly the Pistons.
Looking at the teams 1-5, Toronto, Sacramento and Washington are only a game and a half back. I don't see Minny losing their spot and same with the Cavs even though the Cavs have won 3 out of the last 6. I have high expectations this could be a #3 pick, especially if Deron would rest and/or some lottery luck

I'm a Raptors and Kings fan, for sure.
Man, I hope we have the luxury of getting Derrick Williams, Terrence Jones, Perry Jones, or Harrison Barnes.

Im from Des Moines, Iowa. I played against Harrison Barnes in High School. This kid is no thug. He is an extremely hard worker and smart. He was amazing to everyone in Iowa. He is finally starting to get the college game down. I think he would fit our system so perfectly. His athletisicm is so underrated.

He is a high character kid, good head on his shoulders, I know he is high on KOC's list just from that.
I think this draft looks pretty decent, at least in the top 10 picks. There are several players with real star potential here.
Kenneth Faried--I'd like him more if he can dribble-drive. Any insight here? TIA.
I don't know if you two are aware, but lottery picks are all first rounders (Prodigy is talking about Utah's 1-16 protected that was traded to Minnesota).

If we do miss the playoffs we really do need to look at Fredette with our own pick. Only have 1 PG under contract next year and Fredette can actually shoot the ball unlike most of the backup PGs we have had. Yes, his ability to guard NBA point guards is a concern, but late lottery sounds about right for him.

I'm thinking the pick will pretty much stay at #6. NJ has an easy schedule (13H 10A), including the next 7 at home. Deron makes them a better team, and if he starts hitting a few shots, I could see them get to 27-28 wins. The next closest team is the Clippers, who are 3 1/2 ahead. They had been playing decent ball until going on a long road trip (2nd longest in NBA history). I think they'll finish ahead of NJ. Detroit is a mess and probably gives up completely within a week. They won't win more than a few games. But they're 4 ahead so maybe they'll still finish ahead of NJ. I don't see any of the teams behind NJ making up any ground, especially with Toronto having 2 games @ NJ this week.
So, depending on the outcome of the lottery, Utah will be slotted in around #6-#7 - probably no chance at Derrick Williams, Irving or Perry Jones, but maybe able to get a SF like Terrence Jones or Harrison Barnes.
you dont believe in the luck of the Jazz. True in the draft we got Derron we were supposed to get a higher pick but the balls went against us and we had to package some picks. If we do get our own pick and want a AK like player. have to look at Henson from NC. Because of size issues they got him playing the 4, but hopefully translates into a 3 in the pros.
