Detroit went winless in November but the Wizards and Spurs are keeping pace in losing. Portland
looks to be a mid lottery team and the GSW pick will yield one of the many big man projects in
this draft

Competitive loss. Fought well all game and crumbled in the 4th like a young team missing a bunch of veteran players. I liked what I saw with our defense and Sharpe is every game proving he has what it takes to be a star in this league but losses and lottery odds aren't too bad to continue stacking. Imagine adding a healthy Williams to this squad, oh one can dream.

Portlands remaining sos is 2nd toughest. I think we will be near the top lotto by that logic

Portland probably ends up somewhere 4-10 imo. Warriors pick like 12-18.

I'd be fine with a top 5 pick.

If we could draft one of Holland, Sarr, Buzelis or Rusacher and draft one of the many
big bodied players in this draft with the GSW pick, we'd be sitting fine in 2024/25 for
we badly need a front court player with more upside than we have this season.

I'd agree with this but imagine we hit the higher end of the pick range.

I'd love if they dubs pick is that good, would make it more than tbe late first it seemed to be

Warriors look like absolute poopoo. I think 12-18 is fully reasonable.
