Alright, I'm not touching it again. I had my first back to back Suns #1 overall pick. Here will be the order of the first 7 picks of the 2019 NBA draft:

1. Suns
2. Mavs
3. Bulls
4. Lakers
5. Knicks
6. Cavs
7. Hawks

It'll be an interesting draft because it's so unpredictable.

Who would the Mavs even take at #2? Morant and Barrett both need the ball. A lot of different scenarios could play out if that were the draft order.

I ran the simulator one time and got this -

1- Suns, 2- Knicks, 3 - Bulls, 4 - Hawks, 5 - Cavaliers, 6 - Wizards, 7 - Pelicans

I will take that.
OK. I like that order better anyway. Done!

We won the lottery with at least one generational talent on the board last year. We just chose not to take him (although Ayton could still be special). Nothing to complain about.

I also think getting the 3rd pick will be fine in a lot of scenarios. Atlanta and Dallas are two situations where RJ fits better.

I just don't want to get 4th or lower. I think there's a big drop.

Final thought - Zion is a no-brainer first pick. There should be no consideration of anyone else. There will be PGs out there that we can acquire via trade.

I'm here early with my popcorn for the meltdown when we get the #5 pick.

Number 5?! Pshaw. We'd be lucky to get 5. 6 is more likely. If I were you, I'd prepare for #7.

If we get anything greater than pick 6, it will be a pleasant surprise for me.

Do we need to do the slack channel again? I'm not sure if there are enough of us left to overload the server.

I keep trying to get my kids to take that approach. It hasn't stuck yet.

I think the server can handle all 12 of the active posters on this board.

Is this the preferred method of communication once the lottery starts up? I'll have to make sure I've got it working on my iPad.
