For Clippers, it mostly depend if Kawhi can play a lot of games or not. Warriors are one injury away from beeing not too good and Memphis will struggle if Ja, JJJ get absent. Things are strange this year as apart from Suns and nuggets, i see the rest of the crowd is pretty close. We can finish 3rd of regular season or 10-12 th...I'm starting to think the T'wolves really are a play-in-level team. Suns, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors should all be better than them. Pels, Mavs and Blazers could all actually be as good or better as well. Then there's, you know, the Jazz.
Minnesota
6-8
As of today would be tied for the #8 pick in the draft.
Brooklyn
6-9
As of today would be tied for the #6 pick in the draft.
Philadelphia
7-7
As of today would be tied for the #15 pick in the draft.
We own Minnesota’s pick unprotected and get the lesser of Brooklyn/Philadelphia/Houston’s picks.
Philly really needs to get Harden back so they can start losing again.Updated. Philadelphia is starting to creep towards the 18-22 range as I thought. Minnesota is still holding strong in the top-10.
I don't have a ton of hope that both Brooklyn and Philly miss the playoffs... and it mainly rests with Philly. Only way they miss is a 20-25 game absence from Embiid... the additional mileage he takes on with Harden out may be the reason that an Embiid injury happens. Not rooting for it... just calling it as I see it. Their schedule was the reason they struggled out of the gate... not Harden.Philly really needs to get Harden back so they can start losing again.
Gobert becoming a good FT shooter warms my heart.
He was 69% last year and last year he made a noticeable form improvement.Lmfao. He did this once before. Was at about 68-70% further into the season than this, Around 25-30 games. Then he came back down.
