    First "differential treatment." Now "RISEN the bar"?

    Draymond is going to be a lexicon editor after he retires from basketball.

    They got lucky/skilled picking Robert Williams 28th, a dude that good shouldnt be available at that spot a d really should have been a lotto pick. A Robert Eilliams player isnt always available at 28th, otherwise there'd be no need to tank.

    76ers? They've made the playoffs consistently for the last 5 yrs lol. You dont want to end up like 76ers but you want to win asap like 76ers.

    Funny but have you seen what’s happening with 76ers? Who don’t get lucky with late first round picks? There are many precedents as long as you know what’s you’re doing. GSW, Grizzlies, Spurs, etc…

    There are 10 late frps every year how many turned out as good as Robert Williams 3? Just look at the %s chances of getting a RW3 in the 20s are astronomically low even if you know what you are doing.

    Yes I've seen what happend with 76ers, they are a franchise who made the playoffs for 5 yrs consecutively in your words they are a team who hated tanking and wanted to win asap. The Process ended even before Embiid started playing in the NBA so they've been a win now twam for almost a decade now. Thats what happens when you try to win without a good foundation built on stockpiling top picks.

    it seems to me you confused the chances with coaches and organizations' incompetence and hiden agendas here

    16th pick could have easily won the ROY last year if not for that

    yeah if youre bb ignorant, not really caring and negligent your % chances are not good not even with the lottery picks

    16th is not 26th, thats just 2 spots removed from the lottery.

    Why not right? There's always a dirty linen somewhere. Just got to be discreet. ;) This is nothing if you watch the Pistons of old or the Knicks.
