UPDATE (4:06 pm): Originally posted on May 19, 2009 12:15 AM PDT. Bumped up for the big show, but you better believe it's going back down if the Warriors fall to #10. Whether the Warriors land the #1 pick or slip 3 spots- remember GSoM is a family show!
----------------
How's this for dedication? We had an open thread up for today's big event TWO whole months in advance!
It's playoff time in the Bay! It's time for our annual installment of the NBA Lottery.

After the jump a look at the 7 different possible scenarios for the Warriors this afternoon and how they've worked out the past 10 years for the teams drafting in those respective slots.
Odds via Wikipedia
#1 PICK (4.3% chance): A dream come true.
Hey you know GSoM did win the 2009 NBA Blogger Draft lottery, so maybe our luck will continue. Blake Griffin is the consensus #1 overall pick and I doubt the Warriors deviate from the norm here. Griffin would be a god-send and looks like a real deal franchise player.
Here's the last 10 #1 overall picks:
- 2008: Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls)
- 2007: Greg Oden (Portland TrailBlazers)
- 2006: Andrea Bargnani (Toronto Raptors)
- 2005: Andrew Bogut (Milwaukee Bucks)
- 2004: Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic)
- 2003: LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers)
- 2002: Yao Ming (Houston Rockets)
- 2001: Kwame Brown (Washington Wizards)- BUST
- 2000: Kenyon Martin (New Jersey Nets)
- 1999: Elton Brand (Chicago Bulls)
#2 PICK (4.9% chance): So close, but not close enough.
The pundits seem to be picking Ricky Rubio to go #2, but is he really that much better than the next point guard on the board Brandon Jennings who is "mocked" to go as low as 7? I don't know.
#2's since 1999:
- 2008: Michael Beasley (Miami Heat)
- 2007: Kevin Durant (Seattle SuperSonics)
- 2006: LaMarcus Aldridge (Chicago Bulls)
- 2005: Marvin Williams (Atlanta Hawks)
- 2004: Emeka Okafor (Charlotte Bobcats)
- 2003: Darko Miicic (Detroit Pistons)- BUST
- 2002: Jay Williams (Chicago Bulls)- BUST
- 2001: Tyson Chandler (LA Clippers)
- 2000: Stromile Swift (Vancouver Grizzlies)- BUST
- 1999: Steve Francis (Vancouver Grizzlies)
#3 PICK (5.8% chance): In any other year this would be a real blessing.
But this year? Not too exciting, but who knows?
#7 PICK (60.0% chance): We tanked it for this one.
Thanks to that marvelous extra tanking by Nellie and crew this is where the Warriors are currently slotted. If the Warriors don't move up to one of the top 3 spots and none of the teams below them move up they'll be drafting here.
Just for reference here are the last 10 players drafted at the #7 spot:
- 2008: Eric Gordon (LA Clippers)
- 2007: Corey Brewer (Minnesota Timberwolves)
- 2006: Randy Foye (Minnesota Timberwolves)- BUST
- 2005: Charlie Villanueva (Toronto Raptors)
- 2004: Luol Deng (Phoenix Suns)
- 2003: Kirk Hinrich (Chicago Bulls)
- 2002: Nene Hilario (Denver Nuggets)
- 2001: Eddie Griffin (New Jersey Nets)- BUST
- 2000: Chris Mihm (Chicago Bulls)- BUST
- 1999: Richard Hamilton (Washington Wizards)
#8 PICK (23.2% chance): Moving down...
#9 PICK (1.8% chance): 2 teams leap-frogged the Warriors.
#10 PICK (less than 0.01% chance): God is not a Warriors fan
This would mean THREE teams with better records this past season and consequently worse lottery odds for a top 3 pick moved up ahead of the Warriors. This would mean the 2009 NBA Draft Lottery went something like this: 1) New York Knicks, 2) Phoenix Suns, and 3) Charlotte Bobcats. Looks funny huh?
Here's the last 10 #10 picks:
On a side note, it's too bad the Golden State Warriors unlike the NY Times didn't pay attention to Polling GSoM. We wanted Thunder to rep the Dubs in Secaucus, NJ, but it looks like new GM Larry Riley will be manning the ship. I would've loved to see Thunder, but I wish Riley the best.
Still...
It's PLAYOFF TIME in the Bay!

Could be true
I think I’m more moved by how much the TWolves overrated him in the Allen Iverson talks. They called him untouchable, which is laughable. That Roy trade ain’t so hot either. He looks to be a backup at best.

I dont understand why teams are not allowed to receive certain picks. Like the Warriors, they can’t get the 4th, 5th, or 6th picks.

if we could get 4th, 5th, or 6th
that means we would also be able to move down to 14th…… a fully open lottery would suck with GSWs luck….

Only the top three picks are determined by lottery. This has been the system since 1987.
After the top 3, the picks are exactly awarded according to regular season rankings (in reverse order, of course). The only exception to this is when a team who finished with a better record than you leapfrogs you by lucking into a top 3 pick. So every team in the lottery has the possibility of picking:
#1
#2
#3
--
#x
#x+1
#x+2
#x+3
Where x = their regular season ranking. (Obviously, you can’t drop any further than 14th, which may provide a certain degree of comfort to the teams at the back end of the lottery).
In our case, the chances of picking x+3, i.e. #10 (i.e. the chances of three teams from behind us leapfrogging us into the lottery) are almost nil: 1 in 10,000, to be precise. Not that that has prevented 24 true pessimists from voting that way… ;-)

Not to be picky, but the current system has been in place since 93. Remember in 92 when the Magic got the luckiest bounce ever and landed ShaqDaddy.
Im just glad the Warriors can onl fall so far, although in this draft it seems like picks 5-15 arent going to be of much different value.
by IceDubs on May 19, 2009 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
To clarify:
In ’93, they starting weighting the lottery more heavily to give the low seeds (like Orlando) even longer odds of hitting lotto. The system of having only the top 3 picks decided by lottery has been in place since ’87.

Here's my dream situation (It probably works in 2K9 LOL)
Trade Ellis/Biedrins for Bosh + Their First Rounder (9th)
Trade Marco for Javaris Crittenton
Get lucky and get Rubio @ #2 or draft Jennings, Lawson, or Holliday @ 7
Draft Earl Clark or DeMar DeRozan @ 9
Sign Trevor Ariza or Charlie Villanueva
Rubio or Jennings or Lawson or Holliday/Crittenton/A-Mo
S-Jax/Buike/A-Mo
Ariza or Villanueva/C-Mag
Randolph/Wright
Bosh/Turiaf
Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, or John Wall. A Warrior in 09.
With the 6th Pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the SF Giants pick Donovan Tate.

Blake Griffin at center?
Yes, you need to stop doing drugs. Assuming Baron will bear a passing resemblance to the mediocre player he was last year, that team would probably struggle to win 40.
Here’s my drug-fantasy case: we pop #1 and Toronto pops #2; since they like Calderón and desperately need a Bosh replacement, we extort Bosh to let them flip picks.
GS trades: #1, Wright, Belinelli, Maggs, Crawford
TOR trades: #2, Bosh, Banks
Monta 24 / Rubio 24 / Banks 0
Monta 12 / Jack 18 / Morrow 18
Jack 10 / Bosh 20 / Buki 18
Randolph 30 / Bosh 18
Biedrins 30 /Turiaf 18

Well, I did call it a drug-fantasy…
It does raise a (fantasy) question about Bosh, though: if we were so lucky as to trot out a starting forward tandem of Bosh/AR, does Bosh have the defensive/lateral quickness and perimeter skills needed to play the 3? From what I’ve seen of him I’d say yes; I’d be curious to hear what others think.

Bosh at SF...
I thought about that when I read your post. I’ve always seen him as a one position player under ideal circumstances. I probably wouldn’t play him significant minutes outside of the PF spot, but I’m no expert on his game. I’m not sure if anyone here catches more than a handful of his games a year, but if so maybe they could weigh in on this one.
Thing 2
by olympicmike on May 19, 2009 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I only catch him when we play him but...
He looks like a face up PF all the way to me. I don’t think he could guard the Butler’s or Pierce’s in the NBA…yet alone Lebron, Carmelo or Durant.

we only gave up less than 90 points in 3 games this season. In a game at Philadelphia, a game against Boston, and a game at New Orleans. So the odds of us giving up fewer than 90 points last year was actually only 3.66%

Having Westbrook on the team will just give us 2 starting shooting guards in the line-up for the 2nd year in a row.
by Golden Boy on May 19, 2009 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Westbrook
Averaged a hair under 6 assists per 36 minutes last year. Sure, he was helped by being able to deliver the rock to Mr. “25-foot lay-up” but that’s still a pretty point-guardish total for a rook. He did turn it over 3.7 times per 36 (not good) but also averaged 5.4 rebounds per 36 (very good). Overall, he was slightly more valuable to the Thunder last season than KD. If I had to guess I’d say it’s pretty likely the Thunder brass thinks of him as their future at PG.

by Sleepy Freud on May 19, 2009 2:29 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
More valuable than Durant? Based on what?
According to www.basketball-reference.com, Durant was quite a bit ahead of Westbrook in both win shares and PER.

Doesn’t it seem like one of the “better” teams (a team in the 2nd half of the lottery group) always moves into the top 3? It’s probably not going to be the Warriors, since well, it’s the Warriors and we know how luck goes. So I expect us to be picking no higher than 8th.
If this turns out to be an 7 player draft, we’ll draft 8th.
If this turns out to be an 8 player draft, we’ll draft 9th.

That's not **that** different
The same basic order of magnitude. The difference between a 77% FT shooter missing and an 85% FT shooter missing.
And yet, if you polled GSoMers, absolutely no one would be shocked to hear us called at #8, where most of us will drop dead of instant coronaries if they get past #7 without calling us.

I don't know
that seems like a pretty big difference to me. An 85% free throw shooter rarely misses, while you expect a 77% free throw shooter to miss every now and then.
by Number22Drew on May 19, 2009 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’d expect one of them to miss 23% of the time and the other to miss 15% of the time. That doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me.
It’s sort of like the difference between our chances of plucking number #1,2 or 3 in this year’s draft and our chances of plucking #8… ;-)

You would expect a 77% free throw shooter to miss a free throw every 4~5 attempts on average. An 85% shooter would miss one roughly every 6~7 attempts.

Thabeet looked better shooting J's
in some draft prep videos than Beans ever will.
The dribbling part maybe not but I can see him being a viable starter in the league with the potential to be a game changing shot-blocker.
If we can get an all-star caliber big man or point guard in return for Beans, then drafting Thabeet as a replacement makes sense.

Corey Brewer does look like a bust, but it's early
He’s been really injured and hasn’t played that well when he has gotten onto the court. I’d give him another year before I call him a bust. I was expecting a lot from him coming out of Florida- very disappointing.
(Someone with a screenname “montadaboss” thinks I’m stupid? Hilarious.)
by Atma Brother ONE on May 19, 2009 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
The expectations for him were too high.
Slightly inflated due to the hype surrounded by the Gators. I’d like to see him be a productive NBA player, and i think he could, but just not as a 2nd or 3rd scoring option kind of guy. I think he’ll have to find a niche as a defensive stopper at the forward spot. With his length and athleticism it’s not hard to imagine him guarding 4 different spots on the court. I’d like to see him become a more athletic Bruce Bowen type player. Although for him to do that he’s going to need to make defense his craft and develop an outside shot. Look how productive Shane Battier is and everyone was calling him a disappointment when he didn’t score like he did at Duke.

To tell you the truth I was expecting a poor man’s Scottie Pippen- yes, delusional. I really bought into all the hype around that 2007 draft class as a whole.

Maybe
The fact that Wright, on a per minute basis, has had two very productive NBA seasons (PER 18.2), while Brewer, despite being a year and a half older, has had two very unproductive ones (PER 8.7)?
Granted, Brewer’s got a rep as an ace defender, though his +/- numbers thus far haven’t reflected it.
It’s not even close at this point. The only area where Wright’s been somewhat disappointing is in rebounding, and he’s still been much better at that than Brewer.

Joe Smith
I just looked up Joe Smith’s career and his time with the Warriors…
We traded him and Brian Shaw for Jim Jackson and Clarence Weatherspoon?
He was the #1 draft pick (over KG..haha), young, talented (…sort of), and was averaging 17 ppg and 7 rpg.
That’s kind of like trading Chris Webber or dare I say it, Anthony Randolph?
The Warriors – where amazing doesn’t happen.

Well, I'm hoping that
either the Thunder or Warriors get Griffin, obviously.
So, in an ideal world, the Warriors would pick #1 and get Griffin and then the Thunder would pick #2 and get Thabeet.
I know he won’t be an All-Star, but honestly, we don’t need another guard, we need a guy who can intimidate in the middle. It’s a gamble, but I really doubt he’ll turn into the next Saer Sene or Kwame Brown. Rubio has the highest basketball IQ I’ve EVER seen, and he’ll undoubtedly be a great player, but we’re really thin up front right now, and I’d like to see that change, especially defensively. (Krstic is a Scoring Center, Collison is a double double guy, and Swift is just plain horrible.) If we could get a prime shot blocker and rebounder, it would make all of the difference there, as we wouldn’t get eaten alive by teams that can pound it inside.
And, if it’s the either way around (Warriors get Thabeet, Thunder get Griffin) I wouldn’t mind. Just as long as they get in the top 3!

I guess I'm the only one on here that would take Rubio number 1..
over Blake Griffen…We got Anthony future Hall of Famer Randolph at Pf…we need a pass first pg more than a pf.
Ideally, to get the mots value, I’d take Griffen number 1 only if we could trade him to the team selecting number 2 that grabs Rubio…Let’s say Memphis gets number two. Dubs draft Griffen and trade him to Memphis for Rubio , Hakim Warrick and a future picks. Obv, we’d have to dump a contract to make the salaries work.

Damn. Any chance
Memphis decides to move down and give us their pick for Brandan Wright and 7?
Then again, Rubio and Gasol are probably pretty good friends.

He´ll be playing with Gay and Mayo

Clippers – Ricky Rubio – Will go Need instead of BPA w/ a frontcourt of Thornton, Camby, Jordan, Kaman, and Randolph they are set for the future with a backcourt of Rubio and Eric Gordon
Grizzlies - Blake Griffin – Griffin will fall to them and they come up lucky. Gasol and Griffin
will give them a beefy frontcourt in addition to what they have in Gay, Mayo, and Conley
Thunder – Hasheem “The Dream” Thabeet – They drafted a PG and SF, now they need some bodies up front. Thabeet is the BPA and will give em a young and great core of Westbrook, Durant, and Thabeet
Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, or John Wall. A Warrior in 09.
With the 6th Pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the SF Giants pick Donovan Tate.
Andre Smith in Silver & Black in 2009.

no, you're smelling some trades coming
clips keep grif, trade one of Kaman, Camby, etc. for another piece – or they trade grif for #2 and ? then they have a teeny-bopper PG w/ an old team …

Unless Clips trade w/ Grizz
I believe they’ll take Rubio. Thronton nor Griffin will play Center, especially in Dunleavy’s system. If they trade Thornton it’s possible but right now Rubio is their guy.
Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, or John Wall. A Warrior in 09.

though if Rubio doesn’t eventually get a jump shot then it’s not that big of a deal.

Or, they can play around with the roster.
Move Jamison down and move Butler down.

SG – Butler
SF – Jamison
PF – Hill
C – McGee

On the bright side
We’ve already blown way past Atma’s prediction of 300 posts for #7.
In the end, #7 is probably less painful than #3. I feel bad for OKC fans, waiting through a full commercial break with visions of Blake dancing in their heads…
Memphis popping #2 is a little encouraging. They’re more set at PG than most of the teams in the lottery. Hard to imagine they’d take S23’s proposed package of Wright, Beli #7 for #2, but you never know…
At #7, I’d be pretty OK with Lawson, Jennings, DeRozan, or Harden (if he slips).
Still … F#$@!!!

for some reason my intuition just tells me that harden will make a very good nba player. too bad the warriors would never pick a player like him…

Top 10 mock draft
Clippers: Griffin
Grizzlies: Thabeet
Thunder: Rubio
Kings: Harden
Wizards: DeRozan
Timberwolves: Hill
Warriors: Jennings
Knicks: Curry
Raptors: Evans
Bucks: Clark/Budinger
Adopted Giant Darren "Speedy" Ford. Said by Andrew Baggarly to be the fastest minor league player and the best defensive outfielder in the Giants Organization. Now playing for your San Jose Giants.

Why the hell would Rubio go to the Thunder esp with the development of Westbrook...
Rubio and Thabeet should be reversed.
We Believe
by RunNdGun on May 19, 2009 6:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Westbrook
was said to be good off the ball too, and this would give the Thunder a young back court for years to come along with Durant. The Grizzlies also need a center, with Marc Gasol being their #1 option, and they also have Conley at the 1 and Mayo at the 2. This would give them the defensive presence they need underneath ever since Pau left.

PG-Russel Westbrook
SG-Kevin Durant
SF-Jeff Green
PF-Nick Collison or whoever they SHOULD trade for in the offseason
C-Hasheem Thabeet

Yup
I think we’ll be pretty bad for a couple of more years. Young teams (save the Blazers this year) usually lose alot of games, and as Barnett and Fitzgerald kept harping, “the Warriors are the youngest team in the NBA.”

sam23. this is for you.
wasnt sure if you were going to scroll thru this whole thing if my replied comment ended up way up top.
but u said this:
Wright, Belinelli and the #7 to the Grizzlies for Rubio
I love what both players bring to the Warriors, but I would probably make this trade in a heartbeat if we had a better F.O. and didnt have Nellie in our organization.
What were your thoughts when we first had Marco? I hated it because we lost Jrich, but when i saw his highlight reel, i thought he could be good and later change my mind once i got over the Jrich bad treatment.
Nellie was high on him and was supposed to be our answer to everything.
Don’t you think if we did this trade and stole Rubio, nellie will do the same thing to how we treat Marco now?
He’ll claim he is the best overall player from the draft. Capable of droppin triple doubles and be a lockdown defender in the NBA.
Then in training camp. He’ll test him with his stupid mind games that he plays with the unproven players. If Rubio doesn’t pass, he’ll get on KNBR and admit it was another BIG MISTAKE. Rubio loses all confidence until he gets traded to a team with a coach and staff that believes in him. Then becomes one of the very good players in the NBA.
Ya this is all speculation. I dont know its true. But my gut instinct is Nellie is really a punk arse bech like this. This is what i believe is what will happen to Marco if we get rid of him.
Rubio could become a superstar stud in the NBA, but if he goes to us and gets on Nellie’s bad side..it will be another 4 years before he is able to prove himself.

I think Grizzlies getting number 2 is the best thing that could have happened..
other than the warriors lucking out into a top two pick but we all knew that would not happen.
I really believe that rubio may be a little too redundant for the Grizz and they will definitely be on the phones listening to offers for the number 2 pick.
