Question about the lottery pick
If we finished say 12th overall (random slot) and do not finish inside the top 7 yet through the lottery we end up say 3rd in the draft do we get our pick or does Utah get it cause we finished outside the top 7?

Of course, at that hypothetical #12 slot, there’s only a 2.5% chance of hitting lotto (and thereby keeping the pick).
I like to imagine this scenario: as the season draws to a close, we look right in line for #7 — but in our typical fashion manage to run off a string of “gutty” late-season wins to drop to #8-10. Then, just as we’re all about to commit mass hara-kiri, we pluck the #1 pick.
There will be no extra point!

Well the good thing is the kings might benefit from our stupidity this year? Unless they also traded their pick for scrubs??

Its a tough choice cause I think Barnes will be really nice but Davis has that type of Marcus Camby/KG defense you really like. He’s thin now but I have confidence he will get to 235 or more and the way he throws himself in there that will be enough, then we have a excuse to dump Lee

It's a scary thought
The thing that separates them is the fact Davis hustles like crazy and is a better rebounder. Davis was a 6’4 guard then just all of a sudden got big, so maybe he just needs to to grow into the new height.
I think in terms of potential he and Drummond are the best (though Drummond said he’s staying another year) . But TBH I think Lamb, Barnes, Sullinger/Davis are going to be the best in this draft in that order.
I think Lamb has star SG written all over him, Barnes will likely at the very least be a lock down defender who can shoot and is athletic (Paul George at worst basically), Sullinger will be a beast on the boards and in the low post and if he gets a jumper he becomes Kevin Love, and I think Davis will become a good 10-15, 10-12 and 2-3 in the NBA. If Drummond comes out now I can see him similar to Cousins(without the attitude) just way more athletic and lean. So he might in turn block some more shots.

Im just not seeing what everybody else is seeing in this draft. I dont see a guy besides Barnes that I would point to as a future allstar.
Lamb
At worst he’s Nick Young, at best he’s the next star SG
If Sullinger works on his jumper what separates him and Love? Gilchrist has all the tools to be like Wallace as a lockdown defender, hustle and heart, rebounds like a beast and super athletic. At the very worst he’s a solid starter

Emeka – Has he ever worked on his offense?
O’neal- Back in the day he was a decent overall scorer who could shoot a decent jumper
Chandler – I have never seen him ever work on his jumper
Kemp – Too young for me to know
Camby – He has a decent jumper and always has, it’s ugly but it worked when he tried to score more often then he does

Lamb's a good spot up shooter
Rip Hamilton is a good ‘safe’ prediction
I've seen highlights of Lamb running a PnR.
How much and how effective he is I don’t know. But it is intriguing if he can do that well. He’s already long and athletic, runs the floor great, can shoot with range….
He’s got a lot to like, i’m just not sure if he’s got NBA handles though.

So let me get this straight. Yall wanna tank and its no Center in the lottery now that Drummond is staying in school. Mcadoo and Drummond will be in the next draft so why not be happy the pick is gone in a draft that has no real difference maker besides Barnes and Sullinger and we wouldn’t draft that high anyway. Its not a sure fire allstar in this draft.
Well Barnes,Sullinger,Lamb, Davis and Gilchrist IMO are all sure fire really solid players
And all of them have star potential , that is 5 good players.
Next year Drummond and Mcadoo are probably picks 1 and 2 barring any super star freshman which heavily decrease the chance of us getting either one

Yeah, it’s like turning down a free gift. Draft picks don’t cost much and a high one might bring us a good profit even if he’s a position we don’t need. Say we get Barnes and if we don’t want him trade for someone like Cousins? We’d be getting a center for a great price. Maximizing your assets is never a bad way to go. you know Best player available, yada yada, rah rah rah LGW etc. What if someone told you they’d give you a pass for free night clubbing for 3 years wit option to renew it for 4 more if you’d just stay home for 3 months? wouldn’t you want it?

I dont think he’s a scrub. I think he’ll be the next Aminu. Everything your telling me about Davis is what I heard about Aminu. If Aminu was in this draft with his college stats he’d go top 5 easily.
Aminu was a SF who was always scouted as one and had Deng comparisons
None of that applies for Davis, Aminu was never considered a true big who’d lead your defense or compared to KG. Aminu also has motor issues unlike Davis and isn’t the shot blocker Davis is . He also never locked down the college paint like Davis, instead he’d disappear
RIP Al Davis

I havent even compared their stats but im sure if someone did that player A vs B thing it would be close. And Aminu could play the 4.
He could be a stretch 4
Like McGuire but stronger while Davis in time can play the 5 (I say in time cause he needs to get stronger) and Aminue will never ever be a center or anything resembling it

If Davis can play the 5 so could Aminu. Truth is neither can play the 5 and can barely play the 4. Im not high on skinny big’s.
I've noticed...
And no Aminu isn’t all enough or long enough nor has he ever guarded a center and you can’t just hop in and do it either. That takes experience . And Davis a natural 4, how in the world can you say he can’t play the 4 at 6-11 with a incredible wingspan? He’s still really young so him getting into the 230’s is likely so were looking at a 6’11 230-240 big with supreme athletic ability and a great defender/shot blocker/rebounder with good offensive potential and an incredible wingspan. Hardly undersized , the way you sound is as though you would have take Joe Smith over KG back in the day… Which is sad

His frame will fill out
If that is what is holding you back from liking him I feel so sorry for you, if he even gained 10 more lbs which isn’t that hard under an NBA weight training regiment he easily guards 4’s , it’s not just his size though, the guy knows how to play defense. He’s got it down pretty well.
And AR can’t guard 4’s on the outside, so what would he be ? He guards PF’s better then SF’s
RIP Al Davis

Bosh, Aldridge, Pau, Dirk, KG?
All had similar frames when drafted.
Some guys work hard, fill out like KG, some don’t like AR.
A lot of hype on Davis is around the fact he;s athletic, skilled and has a high level of maturity work ethic like Rose, Durant, KG etc.
for reference
pre-draft measurements-
LMA (after 2 years college)- 6-11.25, (7ft4 wingspan) 234 lbs
Bosh- 6-11.25 (7-3 wingspan), 225lb
Amare- 6-10, 233 lbs
Davis at the moment measures almost identical to Bosh and KG at their age. Similar athleticism.
The question is motor/desire and every scout is exceptionally high on him because he possesses those things, things AR and Wright didn’t.
no...im with J-Ridah
Davis strikes me as O’Bryant-esque….aka the Chef. I can very easily staying thin and ending up soft in the NBA.

I large frame (BW was a stick figure without a wide upper body, Davis is a stick figure with wide shoulders)
Aggressiveness , BW was always a deer in headlights while Davis is never afraid of anything
Dominant interior defense, Davis shuts down the paint while BW was just a great weak side defender. Davis also is a stronger rebounder
BW did show more offensive potential
BW would have been a star if he played with attitude and didn’t have an injury problem

Defense, motor
BW was always passive soft. Davis is physical, aggressive and tough. He’ll fill out. Unlikely he’ll ever resemble Amare or Blake, but Bosh or KG isn’t out of question.
Jones at his best is superstar
As is Davis’ possibilities, but I do not like the histories of PF/C that weigh less than 220. You can always point to Garnett, but they are different players. Skinny centers can’t hold their own defensively. He does not have great offensive game, Jones is bigger and already has an impressive offensive game.

KG woulda dominated his peers had he gone to college as a frosh. Jones is 2 years in and not even averaging 15 ppg.
enough with the college ppg
they don’t translate to the nba
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
who said they need to dominate?
all i’m saying that college ppg doesn’t translate to the nba. russell westbrook only averaged 12.7 points in his last year in college. jrue holiday didn’t even average 10. meanwhile adam morrison and jj redick were among the scoring leaders in all of college basketbal. there are scorers all over college basketball that can’t score in the nba, and there are people that don’t score well in college, but score a bunch in the nba. college ppg does not transfer to nba success.

Rubio's a good defender. He's active, a ball hawk and a pest.
The Euro reports were accurate on that as well as elite vision and ball handling. Good set 3pt shooter, and sneaky getting into the lane. He doesn’t really take bad shots.
He’s a great pick up for Minny, but I’m sad I can’t make fun of Kahn anymore.

by GovernorStephCurry on Jan 16, 2012 9:53 PM PST up reply actions
I don't know
I think he’s looked like a rookie. Landry fields (who isn’t the most athletic SG) embarrassed him.
I think he’s shown good activity though, and with a staff who preaches D first, he’s much more likely to become a good positional defender than a lot of our guys who had years of Nellieball.
Honestly, anything besides a C of SF is only a bench player in this draft. Nobody in the draft could start over our guys at any other position.
I worded that wrong, they would come off the bench for us, thus not making them a difference maker as a rookie or maybe even a sophmore. I heard derrick favors was the second coming of Dwight 2 years ago. He’s not a bad player at all but he was hella overhyped. If a guy aint putting up impressive numbers against his peers I dont think anybody should state he’s a sure star.
Favors was and still is a project
Out of HS he was compared to DH12 cause of where he came from not how he plays and even if who ever we drafted turned into a 6th man that’d still be an impact player
Gilchrist is already a better defender and rebounder then DW and if DW doesn’t get his shot going he won’t be starting over him either

What about passing? Leonard was passed for the same reason Lacob was not high on Gerald Wallace and Chris Singleton. Wing defenders with limited offense are cheaper less valuable in a trade than a guy with Klay’s skill set. The Klay pick was a gift to Jerry West so if you want to blame somebody blame the logo. That was his pick.
Fine Klay gets passing
And Leonard’s offense will come, he already has vastly improved his jumper from a year ago, give him a season or two to get adjusted then he will be perfectly fine
And how can he be less valuable when he has been so much better? And I blame the FO for letting the logo make a call which shouldn’t have been his to make

I agree with you. I think Gerald Wallace is more valuable than Kevin Martin. If both reach their peaks that will be what they turn into.
but to stay with your point
It took years for Gerald Wallace to prove to be a better player than KMart and for every Crash Wallace, their are a million stromileswift/AR’s etc. All the tools, and no brains
The Klay pick was a gift to Jerry West so if you want to blame somebody blame the logo. That was his pick.
blame the guy who hired west , that makes more sense.

I’ve seen enough projects go wrong. Give me a proven product.
Bynum was a project. Dwight was a project.
Derrick Rose averaged 12 and 5 in college. Westbrook was worse with 2 years of college.
I’m not saying draft on potential, but I’m saying a kid with high potential and the right mental make up is a great gamble. Guys like AR and DeMarcus has maturity questions (albiet completely DIFFERENT levels of them), BWright was always thought to be ‘too passive’, and I don’t think you can over come that.
My point is, the days of polished college stars like Duncan, are few and far between.
Bynum was a project. Dwight never was. He came in the league doing his thang. Demarcus dominated his peers so he dont count. You dont have to be polished, all you have to do is show you can just about score at will or whatever your specialty is at will. I dont like Bigs that weigh less than Charles Jenkins.
I dont like Bigs that weigh less than Charles Jenkins.
You must have not liked KG or Bosh. Both weighed less, and more or less exact same as Davis…
Just saying, you’re being extremely superficial. KG and AR had same body. BW and Bosh had same body. SLIGHT difference in game.
You can’t teach intelligence, motor or desire. I think Davis has all 3. The size will come

Gotta be bottom 4 to be truly safe
The flipside of this is that even if we were the 5th worst team, if 3 teams jumped us in the lottery, we’d end up with the 8th pick and lose it. Correct?
While this is statistically unlikely, the Warriors have been frequently unlucky in this regard of late so I wouldn’t want to chance even being the 7th worst team. All it takes is one team below us moving up through the lottery to have the worst possible outcome of all.
If we tank (or simply sufficiently suck), it better get us to at least the 6th worst record. Man, do I really hate thinking this way :0(
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
