Following potential 2015 draftees

As I said in post #1.. I think we may... and that being the final year. Oh.. and we have Dennis SoLong Lindsey.. so you never know.
Very. He needs to add some strength but plenty of time to do that and a huge body.. and a REALLY smart kid. His parents are wealthy so while all the other kids are playing the summer AAU circuit they have him working with NBA shooting coaches, dribbling, and then he plays in occasional games.
I watched him once at practice and was blown away at how effortlessly he swishing half-court shots.. like from the fingertips.. just a flip.
If he adds more strength, there's no NBA comp I can think of... a 40% perimeter shooting 7'1 guy that shoots like a SG and has played lots of PG for his team. Could be become a dominant (truly) PF.

Agree we could, but it will likely be late lottery. The WC will still be strong and you know the Lakers are going to make some roster moves. Portland is already pretty good. New Orleans is on the rise. Add another lottery pick to Sacramento and Minnesota and there will be a real fight for the last one or two playoff spots (and throw Utah in the mix). 2014/15 could very well be a repeat of '07-08 when all 8 playoff teams in the WC won 50 games.
I hope Lindsey does the same thing he did this year with our cap space: try to pick up an additional 1st round pick. Then there's a possibility of throwing two firsts at a team to jump into the 8-10 range.
That would be absolutely insane to have 7 lottery picks on the roster (assuming we get one after this season), with most of them in the Top-10.
