I see Utah finishing somewhere in the 5-to-10 range of the lottery, which is right where these projections have Parker ending up.

ummmm wat

Parker isn't falling out of the top 3

So for us folks without ESPN, what do we do? Not fond I watching everyone react here without having a clear idea of what happened.

The odds are really scaring me. 33.70% for the Top 3 and 56.46% for the 5&6&7th picks. WTF!

You just noticed that now?
Yes, the most likely scenario is for the Jazz to drop one spot (based on the likelihood that one team from 5-14 jumps into the top 3).

No, improper usage of WTF!, I guess.

But it was a moment like, "Who are we kidding? It's not gonna happen!"

For me, I've been looking at #5 ever since the Jazz won the coin flip w/ Boston, so not getting Wiggins or Parker is not going to leave me depressed. IMO, the draft is divided into two groups of 4 and then a bigger group at 9 through the teens. Obviously, nearly all of us have Wiggins, Parker, Embiid and Exum as the top-4 in some order. Then I think Vonleh, Randle, Smart and maybe Gordon are the next four (in some order). I'm really ok with any of them. Sure, I'd like one of the first group. But even if we were to stay at #4, I could see Utah passing on Embiid due to his back injury. So 4 OR 5 gives DL the opportunity to take the best of that second group, just depending on who impresses the most during workouts and interviews.

To be honest, I think Vonleh could be a better all-around player than Parker. Not as good a scorer, but a much better defender. Still have to take Parker at #2 or #3, but I'm throwing my hat in the ring right now for Vonleh.

Didn't create a 1-day to go thread. But this seems appropriate right now.
