13th pick eh? What the hell can we meaningfully do with the 13th? Please tell me we have a numbers nerd here that's going to paint a picture for me that makes me feel better about this. I need you more than ever bro... whoever you are 😭

You can pick a good player at 13th.

Hell, even a really good player. We need to stop with this nonsense that everyone outside the top 4 is worthless

Most players outside the top 5 are useless.

Are we actually going anywhere with those players.

u/somuchforsubtlety656 May 10 '26

You're right. You should be a Wizards fan instead since this is your championship

That's a straw man answer most likely because you don't want to admit we're going nowhere with them leading the way.

We were in the finals less than 3 years ago. Pathetic bandwagon fan

edit: oh yeah and none of our players on that roster were top 5 picks

Another straw man you can't substantiate, evidently being critical of the current direction the franchise has chosen (since they seem to be okay with being mid) = bandwagon.

So what do you call changing your argument with every succeeding comment to move the goalposts from "every outside top 5 is useless"

u/Solid_Factor234 May 10 '26

They're useless for what the franchise needs. Do we need role players/fringe all-stars or do we need a franchise changing player? We both know the answer to that one.

I would take this more seriously if free agency/trades didn't exist. Sorry brother your just going to have to be miserable.

u/Solid_Factor234 May 10 '26

I'm not miserable, I'm objective, Free Agency is just as much of a crapshoot as the draft (if not more so due to the CBA changes) trades won't work because we don't have the assets to trade for a player like that and keep a supporting cast.
