    Jabari plays backup center when Adams is being load-managed.
    Amen is technically the starting PF now. But I assume you mean Jabari when you say we have one young PF. We have Amen and Tari who play both the 3 and the 4 position. So if you count Amen as a PF, we have four young players playing C-PF.

    Talk is cheap. One and done coaches on guaranteed multi-year contracts aren’t ;)

    I think last year it took place the end of April around playoff time or when they began (?) - not sure about this year.

    My understanding is teams that are tied will split their chances between them (meaning the 9th and 10th pick instead of having 4.5% and 3% respectively will each split the 75 combined chances with one team given 38 (3.8%) and the other 37 (3.7%).

    So the coin flip is only used to determine which team gets that 1 extra chance.

    One website already shows the Suns getting that extra chance meaning Houston would get a 3.8% at 1st pick and 17.3% at top 4. But not sure if that website is wishful thinking or not.

    I ran a simulator 24 times and Houston got a top 4 pick 5 times (3 at the 2nd pick and 2 at the 3rd pick). For what it's worth ;)

    May 12th is the lottery. The coin flips will be before then. They could be in the next week or two.

    Tankathon probably has already run a hypothetical coin flip and assigned the Rockets the 9th pick. The coin flip also determines where you could be picking or the odds of where you could be picking even if you don't get one of the top 4 picks.

    2nd 1st pick
    9th 2nd pick
    10th 1st pick
    11th 1st pick
    (leaving out tries that stayed the same or dropped)

    Last year the tiebreaks were determined on April 22nd, so it could happen soon.

    Lol Ishbia

    I wish I was so rich I could promise championships plural, and when I inevitably don’t, continue to live the life of a carefree millionaire.

    What a clown. Please please please let us somehow jag Flagg

    Kasparas Jakucionis is an immediate plug and play and is the sleeper of the draft. I want him even if we get top 5. Trade down and get him.
