Scoot out of the Rising Stars

[Mediocre Man]

I saw the title and figured the Conductor was the coach now

 

[KingSpeed]

Good. He needs to rest up. And he was in the last 2

how many teams have no players attending all-star game activities?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So I guess Camara on that team is the only player we have at allstar weekend?

Is McGowens out?

Is McGowens out?

Didn't know he was a Blazer, I see he has played a whole 21 minutes this season.

Tou is still playing as far as I know.

Talk about insult to injury

Well, at least we made up for the quiet trade deadline with a noisy two games of injuries after...

I was hoping for a playoff push, but now I've resigned myself to having to listen the perpetual bitchers about being in purgatory.

Drafting is anything but a sure thing, as people have pointed out to you repeatedly.

Drafting is anything but a sure thing, as people have pointed out to you repeatedly.

And they've been wrong. Drafting higher guarantees you get an opportunity to pick from more players than drafting lower.

But what I was talking about is that continuing the tank would have avoided the bitching about purgatory.

Bummer for Scoot.

Typical sidestep take. Having more players to choose from also increases the odds of choosing wrong. It's a gamble, no matter how you try to spin it.

You can't pick the player you want if somebody else has already picked them.

And no. The data clearly shows that picking earlier does not increase the odds of you choosing a lesser player. Especially when you're talking about a top five pick.
