But honestly those ultra tall toothpicks haven’t held up. KP, Chet, Shawn Bradley etc

Durant is the closest to one who succeeded but this guy is taller and skinnier, and with Woj saying he might be the greatest prospect ever for ANY team sport. Kid now has a cloud over his head

No, you're right. Human physiology does have it's limits. KP had to get thicker. Bradey never did. There has to be a certain training regimen for guys with builds like that to strengthen tendons and joints. Those long limbs can't be to stable and probably create alot of pressure on joints

Obviously it was rigged again. San Antonio is a deceptively large market (2nd biggest in TX, 7th in the US) and Pop is easily the guy you want developing the next great big man but I’m actually glad about the result. Wemby is not in the East so he won’t get in our way

Yep, all of it. Peter Holt has a ton of undercurrent with the NBA

A little extra info is that the Spurs was so lucky their name came up multple times and they had to redo a couple picks because of it. Their luck is crazy off the charts type stuff of legends. I would not have been surprised that if allowed the SPurs would have gotten at least 2 of the 3 top picks.

Weak.

Nationwide markets ranking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_stations_in_North_America_by_media_market

San Antonio 31th
Austin 35th

There have been 38 lotteries now in NBA history. Some have odd coincidences, most don't.
What does Pop have to do with this being "Rigged"?
What shred of evidence do you have other than "I don't understand it, so its rigged"?
Twitters don't count.
The burden of proof is on the accuser.

I know you guys are fans of not using real stats and using pretend stats but San Antonio is the 7th most populous city in the US therefore it is the 7th largest market

The issue with that is your not considering "metropolitan areas" You assume only city limits as the "market". Thats ignorant as **** dude. Belike saying nobody except those risiding in Brooklyn, QUeens, the Bronx, Staten Island Manahatten watches or goes to knick games. Now take that pearl of ignorance you exhibited and now multiply by 30 NBA teams.

So in your pea brain city size predetermines lottery order? Do you think this would hold up if you back tested it?

Cavs had the #1 pick 3 times from 2011-2014.

No benevolent god is sending innocent kids to Cleveland at that clip!

Not necesarily. Muiltiple lower picks carry less of a cap hit and more bites at the apple than a more expensive higher pick that you need to hit on. It may boil down to individual team needs/preferences, but 3 mid round/tail end lottery 1st round picks may beworth more than 1 #3 pick to some teams.
