    ps so now youve changed the tune so the picks 11 and 14 is ok to you? it doesnt have to be top 3 pick?
    lolololololol

    and ruling champs are the **** list to you?
    lolololol
    now ive seen it all...

    so whats the criteria for success in bb? nail polish, girly moves and haircut?

    youre also living in the past my man, its not 40 years ago when nba is populated only from college and america.... none of the best 100 young players in the world are more talented than the others...

    talent pool is the entire world now, any kid in the world has all the basketball available at the point of a mouse click... now its just a matter of opportunity , work ethic, circumstances and luck....

    lottery guys are probably making the hof more than others but thats not because they are more talented but because of the false opinion that they are ...its called ....... bias or something cant exactly recall the name

    so they get more opportunity, support, favors, better officiating, more playing time, more second chances etc

    its also called the Pygmalion effect
    the Pygmalion in the Classroom study where teachers were told arbitrarily that random students were likely to show significant intellectual growth[2] As a result, those random students actually ended the year with significantly greater improvement when given another IQ test "The control group for all grade levels gained about eight points between the two tests, while the treatment group gained about twelve;"[2] Although the exact actions behind what the teachers did to lead the study towards the initial expectation of student success is unknown, teachers who have higher expectations typically, give "more time to answer questions, more specific feedback, and more approval".[23]



    eg if jalen green was 54th pick he would have never gotten chance to get out the hole he dug for himself at the start of the season and would have been forgoten soon as just another athletic but bad at bb dude...

    I wanted the loss but I’m no advocate for having players intentionally lose. Even if we sat Wood and Schroeder, it’s an easy win against whatever it is Portland threw out there. I still don’t understand why there isn’t more lineup experimentation. Nix and Green. Let’s see it.

    The lottery has been pick 1-14 since 1985. That has never changed. U were just too ignorant to understand.

    It's extremely rare to find a lebron James at any draft position. Hence to increase your odds u draft in the lottery via tanking or just b outright bad (we r currently here).

    Such a simple concept, HoF talent is more likely to be found in the lottery.

    none of the best 100 young players in the world are more talented than the others. Where r u even getting this nonsense?


    The NBA draft only 60 players get drafted. With your logic we can find a HoF talent in the last 40 since they r all alike. Ignoring height and physical attributes.
    With that nonsense might as well create a team of undrafted players, it's cheaper.

    What a sht take.

    Orlando played Franz Wagner more minutes than Green in a OT loss. They are playing their best players and rookies.

    Again I ask you what do you suggest the Rockets do, they won the game playing 19 year olds who led us.
