LOTTERY PREDICTIONS 1-14 Draftee/city

[Spud2nique]

Name the player and the team that lands him. There will probably be some trades and a couple players may end up being drafted by a team and moved to another. Where does the player PLAY next year.

 

Which draftee ends up in which city ?

 

Here’s my list.

 

1. Atlanta- Sarr

2. Washington- Risacher

3. Houston- Sheppard

4. San Antonio- Topíc

5. Detroit- Buzelis

6. Charlotte- Castle

7. Portland- Clingan

8. San Antonio-  Salaun

9. Memphis- Carter

10. Utah- Knecht 

11. Chicago- Cody Will

12. Oklahoma City- Holland

13. Sacramento- Ware

14. Portland- Silva 

 

What say you? What city matches what prospect.

As of today, my predictions not my wants:

1. San Antonio - Risacher

2. Washington- Sarr

3. Atlanta - Clingan

4. Houston - Sheppard

5. Detroit- Buzelis

6. Charlotte- Castle

7. Portland- Holland

8. Atlanta - Williams

9. Memphis- Dillingham

10. Utah- Topic

11. Chicago- Salaun

12. Oklahoma City- Knecht

13. Sacramento- Walter

14. Portland- Filipowski

(In this scenario, Atlanta gives up the #4, the Sacramento pick, and a second round pick to move to #3.  Houston wants more but gets their guy.)

There is just something that doesn't sit well with me having to give up a future 1st (even from SAC since we already dont have a 2025 pick) after trading the #1 pick to then move back up up one spot.

I agree — No way I’m trading the SAC 1st to move up one spot.

Williams

Didn’t know he was the brother of Jalen. I’m a fan of Jalen and how he plays. Plus he’s 3 inches taller. If his game is anything like older bro, I’m in.

I had him at 11 to the Bulls but could see him teaming up with Jalen in OKC at 12 as well.

Should we change this so they don’t know I’m you?

I can see this. Both Charlotte and Memphis could probably use insurance behind Ball and Morant. Dillingham is a lil baller

Portland drafting Holland after taking Scoot last year

Scoot is a bust and it is a position where you could have depth.  They might view that differently though so just my guess.

Dang really? I think he’s gonna be good.

[Spud2nique]

Przybilla… Plumlee.. Nurkic… Walton .. speaking of the Blazers, I just see Clingan going there one way or another. Even with Ayton being there.

Holland

This dude belongs. You can see it in his body language on the court. He might have his deficiencies like the other prospects but he’s got the “I belong in this league”

I'm probably wrong and he just has a lot of growth in front of him but I sure wouldn't bet on him being any good any time soon from what I saw of him last year and Portland seems like a less than ideal developmental environment to me.  Too many free shooters who can't play D there for too long.

Who knows, maybe they both work out. But I think both have a higher bust potential than I’d be willing to gamble on if I were drafting for a team.
