Who has the best chance at the worst record 2011-12 Season

[BRNC]

I need one of the mods or the Ziggy master to add all of this years "lotto" teams and the last entry as "a team not on this list" poll...

I'll vote the SS Bobcats as soon as we get the poll going...

[Plowright]

I dunow, I think Sacremetno and Detroit will suck. But i think we have a very good chance. Let the Harrison Barnes wagon start now?

[DUnit24]

I dont know who will have the worst record, but I dont see it being the Bobcats. Good thing about the NBA(or bad thing depending on how you look at it) is the worst record doesnt always get the #1 pick. I think we have a great shot at the #1 pick and Harrison Barnes, but its too early to judge. ANYTHING can happen between now and next draft season.

I'd add the T'Wolves to the list but...depending on what HC the T'Wolves and Pistons hire...

...you'd (the universal) be hard pressed to say the 'Cats have better talent (at this point in time) than these three teams...if the T'Wolves and Pistons maintain their dysfunctional ways I'd agree they'd be worse but if they have good HC hires might be tough on us...

Kings...have a lot of talent and will probably score points but will probably give us a solid "run" for worst depending on the other two HC hires...

[Fred Williamson]

Aren't there better SF options in the draft then Harrison Barnes? Miller, Gilchrist?

[polarcat]

As of now, I think the 3 that Fred mentioned are 1A, 1B, & 1C. Barnes might have the upper hand now, only because he has 1 year of college ball under his belt. The other 2 look sick-nasty and bring different elements to the table, so only time will tell after this coming season. Plus, I've heard that with the new CBA, the NBA is rumored to want 2 years of college ball instead of just "one-and-done's". That would eliminate Miller and Gilchrist from coming out next year. Personally, I really like Quincy Miller and think he has Kevin Durant written all over him. Bottom line is that if we can add either of these 3 players, we will have our "superstar" franchise player. We might not be the worst team next year, but I think we are one of the 3-5 worst teams in the league.

[BRNC]

I guess you could add Adonis Thomas and Terrence Jones to the list...those will probably be the best five...

[The Prodigy]

Personally, I think the Raptors are going to have the worst record by far. I dont see much talent on that roster.

LOL...I forgot about them...you might have hit the winner Prodigy...:p

[DUnit24]

SF looks like a HUGE need for us right now, and no I dont see any better option than Harrison Barnes. Paul Pierce-like talent IMO.

Gilchrist is good as well and would be a good option, but none better than Barnes.

Thats not the UNC fan talking out of me either. Just common sense.

No.



Barnes would've been top 2 pick this year, will be top 2 pick next year.
Gilchrist isn't polished on the offensive end--donotwant.jpg
Miller can be good, but he's going to have to be REAL good to overshadow what Barnes has done

[polarcat]

I agree Barnes is the man now and will be a franchise player, but Quincy Miller has the tools and is way ahead of the curve on maturity too. I know its against HS talent, but he looks like a man amongst boys. Either way, I'm glad we passed on this year's crop of SF's and going for the home run next year.

I love Quincy and his Westchester teammate Deuce Bello (they're rivals with my old school, so I automatically root for them), but Harrison is better for us long-term. Quincy has plenty of limitations.

My 1st thought. Soft and a lot of their roster would rather play elsewhere. That's a bad combo.

Yup. I eye them as our biggest competitor in terms of worst record. Hell, they don't even get their lottery pick to suit up this season. Detroit, SacTown and Minnesota will be there too, I think.

quincy miller is not someone we would want to draft, hes a big douchebag. do you really want someone whos catchphrase is "its easy" when he has no discernible skills other than dunking and the body of a twig? kids mindset is fucked up

[teej]

Quincy's not a douchebag, broseph. He's cocky as hell and probably isn't the most mentally tough guy in the world, but he's not a jerk.

[SWedd523]

I'm going with CN. The videos and interviews I've seen of Quincy are all, "Leggggo I'm super swag basedgod you can't hold me bruh" like he's trying to compensate and has too much of a time trying to show out. You see that a lot now with high schoolers (even at my old school lawl) who really have no swag. Just a huge sense of entitlement and no humilty.


Maybe they've just cherry picked and shown his bad side and I haven't seen enough of him, but what I've seen, I really don't see why anybody would want him over Barnes, who let's his (exceptional) game show for itself and works harder than anybody on his team AND goes to class and seems like a genuinely chill guy. (And yes, I'd have said the same thing if he went to Iowa State or Duke instead of UNC)

[CatNation1]

holy shit me and swedd agreed about something :o

but yeah i hate UNC but give me Barnes over Quincy Miller all day.

1. Barnes is 100x more skilled

2. I want the guy that lets his game speak not his mouth. MJ would have Quincy crying the lockerroom within 5 minutes of a workout if he pulls that shit here

[CaptainJack1]

I agree with Toronto. Minnesota won't be far behind though, and quite honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that franchise ends up moving to a new city in 3-5 years at the rate they are going.
