Kawhi was 15th pick. Giannis was 15th pick. Steph was 7th, Dame was 6th, Klay was 11th, Jokic was 41st.
Granted Lebron/KD/Harden/AD are top picks but that stat is a great advert for proper drafting.
Game 1 is not really important because it’s just game 1.
I feel bad for Zion who clearly did not want to go there but who would? he wont win a ring there they have no real exciting players and they are not a basketball city ( I know I sound salty and its because I am) Zion and NYC was a match made in heaven. *KILL ME
How do you know Zion did not want to go there? He has said multiple times that he will go to whoever selects him so it’s a very strange conclusion to make.
NY had 14% chance at Zion and 86% chance of not getting him. It’s really not strange.
Pelicans could likely end up with no. 4 and no. 6 as well if they want to. Trade AD for no. 4, Kuzma, Ingram and Ball. Then trade Ball to Phoenix for no. 6 as they want a point guard and Ja will be gone.
Dame still terrible. Aside from third quarter of game 6 against Denver he has been awful since the shot.
You tell me.. NY or New Orleans?
Steph still brilliant. Aside from first half of game 6 against Houston he has been tremendous since the injury.
id much rather live in new orleans
It doesn’t mean he didn’t want to go there. He will be a star in New Orleans, likely playing with a great young core. He could easily be down to disrespected and called out as incompetent by Kyrie Irving two months into his spell with the Knicks.

When has he been injured? Or is it another made up excuse just in case Warriors lose against Bucks like they did against Cavs in 2016?
"The injury." The one that everybody on sports television has been talking about for almost a week.
I was being a smart ass. The Dubs just won. Let me have my moment.
Ah okay so probably another ‘injury’ to excuse him just in case he has a stinker again.
You're better than this (or are you ?)
Sure. I couldn't afford NY either. But we are talking Zion here, no?
He really is. I picked a bad moment to give him a hard time. Sorry!

There is no injury. His shooting since KD has gone is with the same injury as when KD was there. Difference is he is making the plays they need him to without KD.
if i could afford both i would still choose new orleans
You all are really missing the joke. So it must really have been bad. I was parodying @Sarni 's post. He referred to "the shot" which I assumed was Lillard's against OKC. I was referring to "the injury" as in Kevin Durant's injury.
I'll get me coat.
Doubt any celebrity would. That's without the sporting case for Knicks over pelicans.
The Knicks tanked to finally not get ZionYeah... I didnt get that at all. Unfortunately if you have to explain a joke....
I thought Steph had another ‘injury’.
They could have one after AD trade. They have feck all now.
You guys take all the joy out of being an arse.
After hearing for 3 years that the only reason Warriors lost to Cavs was because ‘Steph wasn’t well’ I am really not. It seems he is injured every time he doesn’t shoot at least 40% from three.
Fair enough. I'm not so sure Kuzma and Ingram are a great young core but we shall see.
His face and the reports say he wasn't too "happy" about it.
This draft class is decent besides Zion. Morant is the next best option and then there is a big drop off between 2nd and 3rd. RJ wont make it in this league. Knicks lost again.
I’m thinking about what they can get in this draft too. Maybe Knicks trade no. 3 and pieces to them. And if Lakers do that trade they will get no. 4 and possibly no. 6 (I think Ball immediately goes to Suns).
They dont. He wont win anything in NO and will be knocked out first round of playoffs every season. IF THAT. He will be gone in 6 years, Those fans dont even fill that arena I feel bad for him wasted 6 years of a career.
man what are you talking about. they will trade davis for a good package and have a competitive team as early as next year.
They will have a decent team at best. No team will offer them more then what the lakers did and they dont have a team to be competitive in the west. Like I said first round exit for a majority of his 6 years and then he is out of there as fast as he can.
So starting over.
Good win tonight. Great from Steph and pretty good from Klay and the bench stepped up once again. It's good to get that first win.
Should have led with that.

Only way New Orleans have any chance is if they kept AD and then they built around Zion and AD. Which wont happen.
you really have no idea what the next 6 years will look like. lets consider some of the packages they might get for davis.
ingram kuzma #4 future first
tatum/brown smart/rozier 2 future firsts
so you've got these players
Jrue
Brown
Randle
Zion
Rozier
or
Jrue
Ingram
Randle
Kuzma
Zion
Culver / Reddish / Garland
either of those teams win 30 games next year. plus potential to grow. maybe flip jrue for a good package also
I believe Draymond being suspended is also mentioned a lot
Reading reports now. It’s strange because he did say multiple times he doesn’t mind any team drafting him and not it’s NY or bust.
Knicks were probably going to trade him for AD anyway.
Barrett is a bad idea if you get Kyrie and AD. Probably better to trade down and get one of the wings who can play off the ball and additional assets.
