    I know one player who won't get "injured" this season.

    Hope Beverley plays. Would be a good challenge for Williams/Johnson

    I think we'll take and keep Jabari or Paolo if we land in the top two unless someone blows us away with a young all star that has superstar upside. But yeah, I think if those two guys are gone when we pick that we'll trade the pick for someone that is ready to contribute at the highest level right now. That being said, I'm assuming that our FO sees the draft the same way I do. Maybe there's a player they want that they think would be a game changer now that isn't Banchero or Brown.

    One of my many tankathon lottery sims had us with Smith and Duren. Won't happen, but it got me excited for a moment.

    Beverley is playing. Good test/experience for some of the young guards. I think Williams is starting.

    Playing “Who are you” by The Who when the opposition is announced is usually stupid, but for us it’s legit
