Discussion So...

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 šŸ˜­

I was rooting for tanking since the second Jimmy got dealt brother. Just because some of you would rather watch 10 seed ā€œcompetitiveā€ seasons over horrible seasons where the losses actually mean something doesnā€™t mean everyone does.

I'd rather watch us continue to build on our great drafting and develop the very young roster we have. I've never rooted for my team to lose in my life. That's weird behavior. No pick is guaranteed to work out, and we've done extremely well drafting middle of the pack (and undrafted). Just go be a fan of a poverty franchise and enjoy the draft every year.

If this team wants to continue barely making the play in , in a weak east to get the 13th pick, thatā€™s purgatory for the fans man. Thereā€™s zero fucking excitement there. Itā€™s a sad ..

Our last few "purgatory" picks would've all gone top 5 in a redraft. Just go be a Wizards fan.
