Informationally, as I write this, DAL is currently tied for 6th pick with MEM. NOP are a half game back in 8th.
DAL has PHX, SAN, CHI
MEM has DEN, UTA, HOU
NOP has BOS, MIN
TBH, I almost don't want the #1 pick because then it becomes a question of who is the real face of the team going forward. I sorta think there will be a lot of trade activity which means a lot of new faces, but the idea of who is the alpha dog should be firmly supported by coaches and management going into the summer and starting next season.
Personally, I really like everything that Coop brings in terms of his current game, but once you realize this is only at 19 1/3 years old and there is so much he can do to be even better, it's mind boggling. I think we can find a partner that will elevate the team anywhere in the top 8. Obviously, a higher pick allows for more options but whoever is making the pick decision shouldn't get blinded by the spotlights around some of these guys.
Also, do we send Findley for the lottery rep again this year? It worked last year, but did he use up all his mojo?
