At this point I feel like getting rid of everyone, starting from scratch, and not watching this team until at least a year from now.
At least the picks offer us some sort of hope beyond this core.
Some. I don't want to get my hopes too high—either for getting the No. 1 pick this year, or that either of the Nets picks turns into a star.
I agree.
I only see two guys in this top 5 who have superstar potential - Fultz and Tatum. Tatum actually makes more sense to us since we could really use a versatile 6'8" wing scorer, but Fultz looks great too.
Both guys are athletic two way players who can play multiple positions, and score at a high volume, in a variety of ways.
Once you go past those two guys I feel the potential drops off significantly - and no, I do not feel Ball is as good a prospect as Tatum.
There's a very high probability that we don't get #1, and there's a pretty real chance that we may drop as far as #3. I very seriously doubt we will fall below that, as you rarely ever see three teams outside of the top 3 jump up in to the top 3.
So realistically, our most likely draft positions are #2 or #3.
I just pray we don't draft Ball (if we fall #1 or #2) or Jackson (if we fall #3) as I don't feel either of those two guys is going to be as good a people are hyping them to be. Jackson seems to have role player written all over him.
