Poll: 2021 NBA Draft

[Vipra]

5 days to go for the lottery!

Our chance of picking at each position in the draft:

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
11.5%	11.4	11.2	11	2	18.2	25.5	8.6	0.6

So, in spite of the mock drafts having us draft Kuminga at #5, there is actually very little chance of us getting the #5 pick (2%, just a tad bit more than picking at #9)

This is where the 5th worst teams drafted in the recent years:

Year	Team	Draft Position
2020	Pistons	7
2019	Hawks	8
2018*	Magic	6
2017*	Magic	6
2016*	Wolves	5

* Lottery odds were different before 2019

It is perfectly alright if we are taking, say, Scottie Barnes at #7. But it's still a lotto - and I have high hopes.

 

[Cavatt]

If we fall that far I just want Barnes.

 

[Benway]

I got the feelin' that... We're Movin' On UP.

Really hope Golden State isn't the team who jumps the Cavs if Cleveland slides to 7+. I think they would happily take Scottie Barnes as the next Draymond. Sengun would be a great consolation.

I think Barnes is the one that will go higher than most mocks think. like 3rd or 4th. depends on team picking obviously

I get the feeling if the Cavs are not in the top 4 they miss out on him. Maybe not , but I think he is going to kill the athletic testing at the combine.

I don't think he is there at 7. I would be ok with Kuminga I suppose. Do you take Giddey at 8?

I really like Giddey. I’d almost take him at 5.

It's going to hurt if we don't get a playmaking wing. If you get 2 would you trade down for 2 lottery picks from OKC?

Not a chance

At 2 I just take Cade or Mobley and call it a day but id consider trading down from 5 if Cade Mobley and Barnes are off the board.

It depends.

Would I trade 2 for 4 and 5, hypothetically? Yes.

5 and 6? That would be tougher for me. As it is unlikely Green gets to 5.

There seems to be some momentum for Suggs going ahead of Green.

So it is possible you could take Green at 4 and then also get Barnes at 5.

I just like the combination of Green / Barnes more than I like either Mobley or Cade.

You would trade #1 for Green and Barnes? I think I would too

Working out soon to go undrafted players is always good stuff for finding steals like Stevens
