Tank Watch 2013/2014 - Riggin for Wiggins

[Ridders]

With the 2014 draft class shaping up to be one for the ages, am gonna get this started to see how teams are doing in the race to the basement. So far the Jazz's tank artillery is just blowing everyone else away. Strong 0-7 start

So far the top 5 are;

1) Jazz - 0 - 7
2) Kings - 1 - 5
3) Nuggets - 2 - 4
4) Brooklyn - 2 - 4
5) Knicks - 2 - 4

Can't imagine that the Nets and Knicks will be able to keep this up for the whole season, so I'd imagine that they'll fall of as we go along.

It is early, so I'd imagine the makeup up of the top 5 will change considerably as the season goes along.

Updated Standings

1) Jazz - 3-15
2) Knicks - 3-13
3)Bucks - 3-13
4) Nets - 5-12
5) Cavs - 5-12

This is what we're fighting for.

Don't forget our very own Dante Exum, rated 3rd on the espn top 100.

Also Julius Randle will be a game changer for teams, he is rated at #2 now and is very NBA ready.

I expect the 76ers and Suns to come back to the pack and fight for those lotto balls.

Yeah good pick, totally forgot.

Gotta say the Raptors put on an impressive display in their 110-104 double OT loss to the Rockets. Rudy Gay leading the way with an awe inspiring 11-37 from the field. DeRozan also brought some solid backup going 6-25. I like them as a sleeper pick going forward.

Rudy Gays shot that missed the ring and hit the backboard looked pretty comical, had to be a tank.

Joel Embiid will be a great pick too.

Plenty of The Dream about him.

Was looking through the conference standings so far and good god almighty is the East terrible. Atm the Raptors are the 4th seed with a record of 6-10.

Regarding the race to the bottom;

1) Jazz - 3-15
2) Knicks - 3-13
3)Bucks - 3-13
4) Nets - 5-12
5) Cavs - 5-12

Don't think the Nets can keep this pace up. Them getting healthy will definitely take them out of the tank race. Good thing to since they don't own their own pick for this draft (goes to Atlanta or Boston).

Knicks have more promise though. While Chandler coming back will definitely make them better, atm everything about them is just off. Players seem to be taking weird jabs at each other in the media and it just seems like a bad situation. Worst thing is that their pick this year goes to the Nuggets.

Then again all they have to do is go on a 3 game winning streak and they'll be the 4th seed. East has been amazing so far :lol:.

It really is embarrassing how bad the east is, lakers would be the third seed in the east lol
