2013 Draft Lottery thread

Unless a trade is pulled off, I think we landed right where Burke will go. The Lillard spot. Pretty much makes him the obvious pick because all the others should be gone by then.

I think Burke will go either 2 or 5

Sweet. That's great too.

Pelicans will sign Dwight Howard and draft Trey Burke and we're gonna beat Miami in the finals

Funny thing is-- when we pick, one of the 3 best guys in this class will be there:
Burke
Oladipo
Porter

Lol the Bobcats always get the shaft. Hope we get Oladipo.

Noel is going to be the #1 pick. Mike Brown prides himself on defense.

Orlando is going to be the wildcard. I think they're going to go Burke.

To get Bennett? I would argue that.

To be honest, if I could sign now, I would do it. Either getting Burke or Oladipo.
But imo Phoenix is already set with Dragic as his pg of the future, and Marshall as a project. And they're lacking of a good SG.

if Burke isn't there I want CJ McCollum. No way we would ever take him though. I'm really not confident in Demps and Monty to pick BPA

And we don't have to "make a choice" or ever be accused of overdrafting them. I love it.

Charlotte will win it all when it really matters @next year's draft (Wiggins) LOL

Not necessarily someone ahead of us needs to reach for Bennett Or Len if not neither will be there

I would love to draft McCollum if he is there. He has that perfect Lillard, Faried, Curry, Paul George, Granger small school feel to him.

Yeah, IMO Burke's a lot more likely to be at 6 than Bennett.

Never discount the chance someone reaches on someone based on limited production like Waiters last year.

1. Cleveland - Nerlens Noel
2. Orlando - Trey Burke
3. Washington - Otto Porter
4. Charlotte - Ben McLemore
5. Phoenix Suns - Victor Oladipo
6. New Orleans Pelicans - ?????

Another undersized 2 guard, but with no much scoring ability... No thank you! But I would love to see if Burke can somehow fall. C.J. might be nice too!

I think Orlando is def taking Burke at #2. Sadly I must admit. If porter gets past #3 then I really think he will be there when we pick at 6. Unless the cavs take him at #1. Which I doubt they do. I think Noel is a lock to go 1 now. We are in a pretty solid position to draft tho. Not bad at all.

TRADE!

If that's the top 5, probably Carter-Williams or McCollum.

Edit to add: I completely forgot about Shabazz. He'd be a definite consideration.

Bazz, Zeller or Bennett.

I think porter and Bennett are a toss up at #3. With us taking the guy who doesn't go there. I think Jordan will take oladipo also. With mclemore going 5th to Phoenix.

1.noel
2.burke
3.bennett/porter
4.oladipo (mj wanting to be smarter than everybody else)
5.mclemore
6.porter/Bennett

Who are you talking about? Dipo? He's far from undersized and can score.

Cleveland is gonna be in the lotto top 3 again next year because they're gonna do something stupid like draft Noel.

Seeing Drummond and Davis side by side... Why cant it be on the court?!??! :crytear:

If Orlando doesn't pick Burke I think he's ours. Atleast that's what I'm hoping for. I'd expect them to take McLemore over Burke.

I wish Marcus Smart didn't opt out of the draft

Orlando wants Ben Mclemore... no way they take Burke.

I would also not be really surprised if Phoenix picks a bigmen in Bennett. I think they are not really into the mood of commiting with Scola for years to come, as their main PF. Or maybe even Len/Zeller.


If Burke/Oladipo/Mclemore/Porter/Noel are gone when we pick at #6 I would probably go with Muhammad. And I think there is a strong possibility the management think this way.

If Orlando trades down but still in front of us, Burke is going there. If they stay put Burke is coming here. Porter, Bennett, or Noel goes to Orlando at 2. Possibly McLemore and run a 3 guard with Afflalo to run with Miami in the east.

As long as Bennet is taken before us we should get one of our targets.

Noooooooooo way MJ takes Mclmore. He wants hard workers with the killer instinct. He will fall in love with Oladipo

no now cleveland will get noel this year and wiggins next year, nice.

Burke or McClemore could fall to 6 only cause everyone ahead of us has PGs other than ORL, CHA-Kemba, CLE-Irving, PHX-Dragic, WAS-Wall

I'd believe the conspiracy at that point.

If PHX DOES take Burke, maybe it opens up the possibility of them packaging in Dragic. Gimmie.

Not yet. Probably not until next month some time.

I changed my Orlando selection to Burke.

1. CLE - Noel
2. ORL - Burke
3. WSH - Porter
4. CHA - Oladipo
5. PHX - McLemore
6. NOLA - Muhammad

Cleveland needs a small forward, but with Varejao so injury prone and just with one more year on his deal Nerlens Noel fits well there

One dark horse for No. 1 pick? Georgetown's Otto Porter. Cavs love him. Perfect fit. Helps right away.
