If the season ended today, we'd have a 100% chance at a Top 6 pick.

This is the stat that matters.  15% or what ever the worst team gets even is nothing.  What matters is the guarantee and then you can be really happy with how far up you move from there.

47% to be in the top 3 isn't so shabby either, especially since there looks to be three pretty safe picks at those spots.

I want a top 5 pick. Being a bottom 4 team almost makes that a guarantee. (83%)

We have been burned too hard hoping for a number 1 pick in 1997, and a top 2 pick in 2007. No matter how bad your team is, the odds are against landing the number 1 pick.

I like where we stand.  :)

Wiggins back to back strong games.  29 points tonight.

As the season moves along wiggins and Embiid keep unlocking their potential. I originally thought Parker was the cant miss talent of the 3. If the draft were today i think i would take Embiid and wiggins over parker.

That number 5 pick in 2007 worked out perfectly, giving Danny just what he needed (RA) to land KG.

Lol  I think Danny would have preferred Durant in 2007.

I just want a top 3 pick. Don't need the number one. I would be fine with Wiggins/Embiid/Parker

That's where I've been the whole year with Wiggins, and Embiid once it became clear just how good he could be.

But honestly any of them would be wonderful. A real young talent like we haven't had since Rondo would be very exciting.

Draft day trade idea

To 76rs: celts 3rd overall pick (parker) and brooklyn pick
To celtics: 5th pick - smart and 11th pick - jerami grant

Yay or nay?

The percentage to land a Top 3 pick would be where my real interest lies.

No. Talent after top 3 drops significantly.

It doesnt drop significantly. Parker and smart are considered similar talents

That's what I am interested in as well.

I think there has been a clear separation of talent from Wiggins, Embiid and Parker and the rest of the field. 1-3 is all I care about as I am not too excited over the prospects of landing Randle(we already have a young PF), Exum, Smart(we already have a PG that can pass lights out, rebound and can't shoot) or Gordon(IMHO, the biggest chance of a total bust in the top 10 players).

If we don't end up in the top 3 I hope Danny trades the pick.
