Following potential 2014 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
To a lesser extent yes!
BUT the Suns were deemed to become the first franchise in NBA history to record single digit wins over a 82 game season. Also people on this board made similar prognosis with 15 wins the highest I read...
They eventually becoming a 50 win 9th seed in the West. That's a miracle! The Jazz were expected to be in the middle last year...

he looks like an NBA SF, but hes been playing the stretch 4 (while making a big impact in transition offense).
the hangups with him as a SF are his ball-handling and passing which are below average, and his age
it would be interesting(boom or bust) if he gets drafted in the teens or early 20's and is asked to play a decent chunk of minutes for a bad or mediocre team
imo he be a perfect for a team like OKC. he reminds me of a more polished Wilson Chandler
I agree but ever since the Magic got Shaq and Penny in back to back years while having the worst odds in the lottery the nba changed it and has made it literally impossible for the best teams who didnt make the playoffs to win the lottery
I think since the changes the team with the lognest odds that won was the bUlls the year they got Rose but they wre only the 9th worst team in the league
Yeah you're correct. Nowadays it's .5% for the #1 as the 14th team. Back in the Magic days it were 1.52% as the 12th worst team(out of 28). The Bulls were 9th and had a 1.7% chance to land the #1. The Clippers in 2011 were #8 and the Blazers in 2007 entered tied at #6 before the coinflip they btw lost.
I'm just saying that would be kind of a sign from the universe. Or simply a sign from Adam Silver about tanking
But I'd be happy with the Suns getting the #2 behind the Jazz

It shows nowhere in the record books of Memphis being in the final four
Maybe you should look before you claim it was not in there.

Vonleh's Haverhill High coach Mike Trovato noted, “Wait ‘til the NBA guys get a real good look at him. Imagine him, running through those ball-handling drills for them. They’re going to be stunned.”
“Noah will definitely be a high draft selection because of two things. First he has an incredible work ethic, always in the gym as a high schooler, constantly improving his skills, his ball-handling ability will amaze front office people,” said a local NBA scout.
“Second is his length. It will make him a perfect four-man in the NBA. He can defend a LaMarcus Aldridge or Dirk Nowitzki because of his size. On the offensive end, he is versatile. He is coachable and has high character. Some team will be lucky when they get him.”
“I felt a little held back,” he admitted. “There was more I could do.” - Noah on his role this year
