We should beat Detroit and, in that case, we might as well run the table and win all of our remaining game. I predict we'll end up with the 6th worst record, which is the best we can do. Then hopefully, we'll slide down a slot or two and leave the Warriors with the 7th or 8th pick. Bolmaro will arrive in as our de facto 2021 first round pick.
Completely agree Lip, I'm in win everything mode.
Positives of winning:
-The Wolves will have promise going into next season and a lot of hope for finally seeing ascent from our young core.
-Still a lot of lotto balls and the Wolves keep their pick if they win one of the top 3 spots.
-Draft is approx 5-6 players deep at the very top, so if we're going to miss it, it would hurt a lot more losing a top 5-6 pick (which would happen if we lose the lotto with one of the worst records) over the 7th-8th pick (which would happen if we lose the lotto but keep winning).
The only positive I can think of from losing is a slightly higher percentage chance of landing a top 3 pick, while there would be a significantly higher chance of landing in the 4th-5th draft slots by tanking, giving the Warriors another blue chipper with our pick.
