Tuesday May 23 is the Draft Lottery guys and girls. We have the 6th best chance of winning the 1st pick, which I think would not be good for this team. The best position for this team would be 5 I think,,

Thoughts??

How is it not good to have the six overall pick? It is been a long time since we had a higher pick that drafted Wally.

Impossible to get the 5th pick.
We can get 1,2,3,6,7,8,9
I think that There is no clear cut #1 guy, and their is not much difference in the quality of player from 6-15. If we get top 3 , I am hoping for Aldridge. If we get 6-9, I am hoping for Gay

i'd rather see minnesota trade the pick for a player so we can start winning now.

rudy gay is too much of a project. he wont have an impact at all. hes just like marvin williams IMO.

i really like aldridge... however.. i doubt he would have that much PT and time to develop on minny who has a set PF.

Please explain how we can't get the 4th or 5th pick..

You wouldn't be happy with the first pick?

Avalanche

1 or 2 - aldridge
3 - 6 - Gay
6 - 10 - Carney/Obrient

The lottery is only for the top 3 picks, and the rest are given out based on record. So we could move up into the top 3, but if we don't the highest we'll get is the 6th pick. We could go as far back as 9 if the top 3 picks all go to teams with better records then us. Chances are we'll stay at 6, maybe move back to 7. I'd love a top 3 of course though. I think staying in the top 6 is huge, because there's a big drop off after 6 imo (aldridge, thomas, morrison, bargnani, gay, roy).

Did you mean Morrison instead of Noah? As far as I know, Noah didn't declare eligibility, and it would be pretty shocking if Morrison didn't go in the top six.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I made that post.

Ah ic thanks for explaining socco. Well I'd like to stay at 6 and see what happens because we could take about anything except a pf-sg.

Cyberwolf

It's pretty easy to mix up a name or two; I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss something. Anyway...

I definitely agree about being able to pick any position but PF-SG. I suppose if we were picking top 3 we would HAVE to consider Aldridge, so arguably the only position I don't really see us taking under any circumstances is at SG.

I am a big fan of Rudy G., but at this point I'm not really sure how we'd end up getting him. I'm a bit skeptical that he'll fall to 6, and he might be a reach at 3.

Okay, two questions for all you experts here:

1. If we get the 3rd pick and Thomas and Aldridge are gone, how many of you would be in favor of picking Morrison?

2. If the worst happens and we fell all the way to 9th (pretty darned unlikely but we don't have the greatest lotto luck) and O'Bryant was available, how many of you would go that route?

i think obryant is underrated. hes a good leader and can score in bunches. i wouldnt mind havin him on this roster.

Okay, okay, one last post in this thread for now (sorry for so many!):

For those who haven't read it yet, O'Bryant seems to have impressed Jonathan Givony/the Draft Express guys at a private workout this week. http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1302
From the article it sounds like he is improving daily...
