The cruel part of the NBA draft lottery is a team can sacrifice a year in hopes of a prize only to have the ping pong balls go another way.
Now Gregg Popovich has a reason to stick around. They’ve got 22-point per game scorer Keldon Johnson signed to a bargain contract, two other intriguing 19 year-olds to build around Wembanyama in Jeremy Sochan and Malaki Branham, and 22-year-old Devin Vassell.
Mark our words: If Wembanyama stays healthy, in a couple of years the Spurs will once again be perennial title contenders.They didn’t get Wembanyama, but they went from the fourth-best odds, to nabbing the No. 2 overall pick. Guard Scoot Henderson has long been seen as a worthy top selection for most draft years, this one just happens to have a freak of nature at the top. As consolation prizes go, Henderson is seen as a fantastic one.
The NBA made the lottery rules tougher in 2019 in order to discourage teams from tanking. It appears to be working. Detroit is the fifth straight team with the fewest wins to fail to win the lottery.The Rockets consistently fail at the lottery. This time they could have actually won the rights to Wembanyama had they not won a coin flip with the Spurs a few weeks ago. It meant the Rockets were just one ball off from the winning combination of 14, 8, 5 and 2, because the flip gave them a 1 .
reported. Ouch. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Rockets, who tied for the NBA’s second-worst record with the Spurs, will select fourth in what is seen as a draft with a clear Top 3.Article content
