The way the Wiz are going, they will get a few bites at the “top of the draft” Apple. Not sure one prospect is worth reading away from that

This, ultimately. The Wiz aren't going anywhere for a couple of years. My only concern is that, say, the '26 draft class turns out to be super weak, just like the 2024 draft class. But the way Washington is playing, we're looking at next 5+ years in the lottery. So be patient.

The fact that we have significantly higher odds of picking 5th than we have of picking 1st, despite by far the worst record, tells me the NBA isn't a serious league. Their lottery continues to be the dumbest thing around.

I just simmed 10 lotteries. We got 5th 6 times. We got 1st once. 3rd or 4th the other times.

Yeah nobody is trading Flagg away

It's a sport where one player plays 30ish out of 48 minutes. A first overall pick is most valuable in the NBA than the other sports. Therefore it has the flattest odds of any of those sports

With several watching of Flagg it feels like high floor rather than high ceiling so a safe pick.

I've watched the last three Rutgers games (another one I believe just started). Rutgers offense is very strange. Harper will have the ball in his hands and get his points pretty easy and he generally looks great. Bailey completely different matter they literally don't run any plays for him. Credit to Ace to not getting frustrated and getting selfish. The athleticism/length are amazing to me probably the highest upside. I'd draft Harper today at #1, Bailey #2, and Flagg #3.

Simmed six times #2 once, #3 once, #4 once, and #5 seven times. I'm telling you finishing 2nd worst is better got NO to win #1 twice at least..

How does Rutgers have 2 top draft picks and still sucks? I’m a Terps fan and watch Big Ten and nothing about them stands out to me.

Watching Maryland and Queen and go beat down on them with a superior team will give MD the props they deserve. Queen screams to me a decent NBA starter.

Watched one game of Edgecombe but was a not a good one as he didn't do well.

Knueppel/Jakucionis full on pass big time.

Tre Johnson and Fears are intriguing to me.

Watched some Demin games in the last couple of weeks after a hot start meh but also seems he seems passive.

They're not top draft picks based solely on how good they are today. They're top picks based on how good they are projected to be from approximately 3-15 years from now.

Wemby out for the season….blood clot in shoulder….

 

[Ridley Simon]

That’s brutal for them. Just brutal.

I was looking at Wemby future odds for D player of the year last night and he was by far the favorite.

Crazy those huge dudes cant last a NBA season.
