What happens if we don't get top 2 pick?

[rich4114]

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on what it will be like if we don't hit the #1 or #2 pick this lottery. I'm pretty paranoid about that considering how often the bottom team wins the #1 pick. Seems like the 25% chance gets you the 3rd or 4th pick most often.

And by the way, I don't know why I haven't been coming here. This forum seems WAY more active than the land of crickets over at RealGM. I think they've merged all 12 threads into one over there so it's impossible to hold a good discussion.

Welcome! This topic has come up quite a bit, so you might want to scan the first few pages of the board to look for similar discussions.

That being said, I think the reasonable response would be to enjoy whatever talent we get and keep waiting for a franchise player if that player isn't the one.

Me and you both Rich. Lets look at the bright side though, this draft is pretty stacked. Sullinger is going to go around 5-6th pick and perry jones 9-12, last year these both would have been top 3 and Sullinger may have been first. So if we did get the 3rd or 4th pick we would have Beal (Drummond or MKG whoever doesn't get picked 2nd). For me, any of those players could really help our team and would be a number 1 or 2 pick in most years.

We can't afford to be negative as Bobcats fans or we will spontaneously combust instantly!

If we don't get a top 2 pick... We Riot!

What if? What about tanking another season? Anyway, there are no marquee free agents this summer except Deron, who will probably be going elsewhere. In 2013, we'll have much more cap space, and we can still amnesty Tyrus. If not Davis, it is Shabazz Muhammad. Don't worry guys, with this losing culture and mentality, we will get a 1st pick sooner or later.

Seattle/OKC did not have the no 1 pick when they got Durant and we see how that worked for them. We are no OKC but I hope we can strive to be. I don't remember if Greg Oden was the consensus no 1, but see how that worked out too. yeah, if at first we don't succeed, we tank and tank again. lol

I'll probably cry like a little girl.
