Even right now being 7-7 and just outside the play-in picture as the 11 seed, we're #14 in the draft slot on Tankathon. There's actually a lot of terrible teams this year, including a few unexpected ones like Dallas and LAC who have also dealt with some bad injury luck.

Unless White or Jaylen go down with a significant injury and we hover around .500 our best bet is probably a pick in the 8-14 range, and even the higher end of that relies on some luck

You don?t think we?re due for some luck? AJ Dybansta is destined to be a Celtic.

As much as I'd like for them to get a high draft pick, it's not happening unless Brown suffers a significant injury or Brad pulls off a crazy trade, the former being much more likely to happen.

Let me make sure I understand - To guarantee a lottery spot, the Celts would have to finish outside the top 10 in the East. Correct ?

If we finished 9th or 10th and lost our play-in, would we be placed in the lottery ?
Are the teams with the worst records still given the most ping-pong balls respectively ?

Feels like our luck ran out after the '86 title.
The greatest team of all time followed by years of one devastating misfortune after another.
Even when we have managed to break through and win a title, the door gets slammed shut the very next season with season-ending injuries to our best player.
