The pick will end in the 8-12 range.
No doubt
Right now it would be 14 and it is closer to 18 than 13.
What do you think Chances are they leapfrog the Jazz or the Lakers? They have obviously surprised everyone all season, but Jazz have really gotten together, and as you pointed out the Lakers were at once point the 4th seed before Lebron got hurt. Unless you think they have a reasonable chance of passing one of those teams, don't really see how they don't end up in the lottery??
I don't think they make the playoffs, but I can't see that pick being any better than 9 at the absolute best and it will probably be 12 or 13 (excluding lottery luck of course). The Kings are a very deep and well coached team. They are also pretty young, so they aren't going to tire all that much. Bagley missed a month and has really turned it on the last couple of weeks, he is only going to get better. I've been saying since last summer that the Kings were going to surprise people because I really believed in their young talent and their coach, and they have been better than even I expected. They do have some tough road trips coming up and they almost certainly aren't going to keep winning at their current pace, but it isn't like the Lakers, Jazz, and Spurs all don't have tough schedules also (I think we can now rule the Clippers out). The West is tough and I'm not ruling out a young feisty talented well coached team.
