This is quite comical. The Suns fully tank with the second worse record and still get the #4 pick. Celtics (#1) and Lakers (#2) both amazingly get higher picks.

Mind boggling, but not the least bit surprising.

I'd still like them to trade down as I don't think any of the top 5's are worth a top 5 pick.

Fultz has to go 1 right? Ainge ain't stupid he's not gonna hitch his wagon to IT long term he knows it's a gimmick he's gonna do the smart Basketball thing and take Fultz

LA and Ball were made for eachother we all know that. I honestly would be shocked if they don't take him and if not him then who? Jackson? Fox?

Philly wants a PG and everyone knows it. They are gonna have whoever is left over Ball or Fox. They jump on whatever PG is on the board

Phoenix gets Josh Jackson at 4 the player I wanted all along. If Jackson happens to go before 4 then that means either Fultz, Ball or Fox slipped. Id honestly be happy with any of the 4 really

This is why I didn't give a poo when the young guys pulled out a few impressive wins late in the season.

But oh no "ping pong balls!"

Not only that but 2nd year in a row the Lakers would have lost their pick if they lost the lotto.

I've never been a rigged person, but I am now.

Screw THIS keague.
They lose the pick regardless next season right?

Ugh.

But if we can get Jackson, I don't feel terrible.
We're not even going to get Jackson. Fultz, Ball and Jackson will the top 3 choices, but maybe not in that order.

Everyone will get over the disapointment, i was disgusted as well, once we find out philly is targeting fox. I'm anxiously waiting to hear some talk from philly first to confirm, but with simmons, jackson makes no sense for them.

If that leaves us with jackson at 4, thrilled, i had him equal to fultz.
You're all wrong. Simmons will play the four. Their front line of Simmons embiid and Jackson will be lethal. Three almost interchangeable athletes. They just have to get two adequate shooters ala Kenny Smith and Vernon maxwell with that front line. Don't think jackson is going to slip to us bc that's what you're hoping for. That poo never happens.

Wait it may not matter, are any of the top 3 likely to take Jackson?

I have no idea their needs
