    Who do you guys have right now?
    I’d love to get up in the draft to take Chet Holmgren. Seems like a can’t miss pick. Dude has everything you want in a lottery pick

    I am a little scared to draft another tall lanky WABC from Gonzaga

    Don't care. Best player available. Ideally game ready.

    True. Sabonis worked out. We should have traded our picks for that one instead of up to take Zach Collins.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You finally screwed up. I knew you had hijacked MM's account and now you've blown your cover. MediocreMan would never want to draft a WABC. In fact, he made it one of his rules to good drafting--never select a WABC with a lottery pick.

    With how much time we all spend standing in line for Mrs. HCP - it wouldn't surprise me if we start recognizing each others dicks.

    We all can't be 8 inches with massive balls. Stop bragging.

    Is there a winning streak someone is projecting? We are currently tied for the #4 pick and slotted in the #5 spot. Doubtful we could fall into the Top 3, but #4 gives us a darn good shot of moving up.

    I thought that rule included also being from Syracuse.

    If we don't make any moves and everyone gets healthy, we will start winning a lot more games. Our strength of schedule is the weakest in the league in the second half of the season, Dame is much closer to his normal self now, Chauncey is going to get better at coaching and all of these veteran players we have are not going to try to lose. I'm not predicting something miraculous. I think most likely we'll just keep hurting our odds at getting a difference maker by getting a lower and lower lottery pick or even worse, sneak into the playoffs through the play in just for another demoralizing first round beat down and no first round pick. That's what this group has shown it does.
