Back again with my (almost annual) thread on tracking the C's picks for this coming draft. Didn't do one for last year with the C's only having the 1 first rounder.
Standings as of 1/3/18 -- will try to update weekly
Memphis pick tied #12-- (tied with Dallas and Charlotte) (protected top 8 )
Games Behind Current Wins Games Left Last 10
Utah 0.5 18 44 5-5
Detroit 0.5 17 46 4-6
Memphis --- 18 45 2-8
Dallas --- 18 45 3-7
Charlotte --- 18 45 4-6
Miami +0.5 18 46 7-3
--> tie with Dallas gives them a tie for the #12 slot. Even though they're tied with Charlotte, Charlotte's in the
playoffs in the East so they're not in the mix right now to worsen this pick. Miami is also in the Eastern playoffs so
they won't be hurting this pick for now either.
Kings pick -- #14 (protected if top 1 - becomes Sixer pick if #1)
Games Behind Current Wins Games Left Last 10
Charlotte 1.0 18 45 4-6
Miami 0.5 18 46 7-3
Sacramento ---- 19 45 4-6
--> last lottery draft position. even though they have a better record than 2 teams in the East that are currently in
the playoff picture, Kings pick jumps up 2 spots.
Clipper Pick #20 -- (protected top 14)
Games Behind Current Wins Games Left Last 10
LA Lakers 0.5 21 44 4-6
San Antonio 0.5 21 44 7-3
LA Clippers --- 21 45 4-6
Portland +0.5 22 44 7-3
Houston +0.5 21 46 9-1
--> Clips falling off their early pace. Portland and Houston should now be able to put some distance between
themselves and the Clips to prevent that pick from getting worse. SA should pass them soon in the standings to
help the cause.
Boston Pick #23
Games Behind Current Wins Games Left Last 10
Portland 0.5 22 44 7-3
Houston 0.5 21 46 9-1
Boston --- 22 45 5-5
Philadelphia +2 25 43 6-4
OKC +2 24 45 7-3
-->C's pick figures to get a bit worse than #23 this year as the team starts to really gel. would expect to see them
pass Philly, OKC and Indiana before it's over and possibly the Bucks and Nuggets too.
Second Rounders:
Boston (protected 31-55)
