    thanks for introducing me to this. i just tried. here are the results:

    4, 5, 5, 5, 3, 2, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 5, 2, 5, 4, 1

    i stopped when the rox finally got the 1st pick. that's 1/20 chance of getting the #1.
    i think silver was overlooking my simulation.

    Why do I remember Cook being in way more than 24 games? I remember the few minutes he did manage to play left me quite impressed with how terrible he was.

    It was interesting that the coin flips were held in New York, and the Knicks won 3 coin flips.

    The one positive thing about losing the coin flip is we have back-to-back picks. That should give RS some options if someone is on the board and looking to trade. Here's where our scouting is going to be key. You can find gems in this range, but you have to either see the potential or be able to correct the warts.

    In any case, I'm excited about these two picks (if we keep them), gives me a reason to scout prospects in this range.

    Silver needs to pick the frozen envelope out of the bowl: ROCKETS.

    You may have something there.

    The whole thing just feels a little too random to me, you know?

    Welp, there goes Dayron Sharpe, Alperen Sengun and Jaden Springer. Gotta scout some more. Filip Petrusev should still be in play.

    Curious on why you’re high on Dayron. Don’t get me wrong I love the size, motor, and rebounding. But he doesn’t seem like he can defend in space or defend in drop. And the lack of shooting (abysmal ft%) to me suggests that he will never be able to hit the passes from the hub spot like bam since defenders will sag off. I’d much rather go for a bassey, prkacin, Duarte, or Butler at those spots. Agree on sengun that kid is a beast. I’d trade both up to the hornets to snag him.

    18, 23 and 24 sounds about right. Then on Draft night the Tilman will force Stone’s hand and trade those 3 picks for the #14 pick and a 2nd rounder just so he can draft a “lottery pick” and feel good about it.

    Also inefficient and turnover prone.
