This yrs #1 pick or last yrs #1 pick?

This year and last yr are quite similiar in the great draft debate...WHO WOULD U PICK WITH THE #1 PICK? I have read a novels worth of blogs about what DA BULLS should do with the pick?(I am still shocked they won it!!!!!!!!) I say pick Rose over Beasely...he will not only be good he will make others around him better and thats somethin i am not sure with Beasely( and he might have a few screws loose up stairs as well) but he will put up numbers in the NBA no question.......but i go a little deeper and ask who would i rather have a choice between Rose and Beasely or Oden and Durant....the jury is still out on Oden because of the knee injury and Durant put up descent numbers last yr and with a good trainer can maybe become a monster in the league.....so i pose this question to you..... WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THE FIRST PICK IN THE 08 DRAFT OR THE FIRST PICK IN THE 07 DRAFT?????

The only real question would be at 5

1.Oden
2.Durant
3.Rose
4.Beasley
5.Mayo/Horford?

Actually, a Rose, Mayo, Durant, Beasley, Oden starting 5 would be pretty amazing to watch play together.

Horford.

Hands down. (And I hate the Gators…)

Oden would of filled a big hole and we still would of ended up with a lottery pick this year. If you look back to the standings last year if the Knicks would of lost we would of had Portlands ping pong balls and on that same night if we would of beat the Nets we would of gotten the 2 seed and wouldnt have to see the Pistons till the Eastern Finals. It was a bad wednesday night for all Bull fans.

Even Worst....

I’m pretty sure that in that New York game that screwed us, Eddy Curry of all people banked in his 1st 3-pointer of the season with 1.5 seconds left (something close) to win the game for NY….. more i think about it we def. deserved Rose!!

That game sucked!!!!!!!! How can you call an off the ball foul with 1 second left!!!!!!!!!!!

by TRiCioNeRo on Jun 3, 2008 10:14 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah i forgot about that....

and what wouldve happened we wouldve got oden….he ended up being out for the season….we wouldve played the same way…skiles would still be fired…ben wallace HE GONE!!..and we would have the 9th worst record in the league…and with 1.7 chance we wouldve won this yrs draft lottery too!! lol

picture this starting 5
C Greg Oden
PF Drew Gooden/Tyrus Thomas
SF Luol Deng
SG Thabo
PG Derrick Rose

That would be amazing

David Stern would have to rethink the whole draft process with the same long shot team winning the lottery two years in a row.

by RogersPark Kris on Jun 3, 2008 4:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Nope

Orlando Magic already won the lottery twice in consecutive years. Clearly, this shit is rigged.

Not to mention they had the 1st pick in 2004 as well

Three number 1 picks in 12 years? That’s insane for a league that doesn’t just automatically give it to teams with the worst record.

but

Oden
Gooden
Deng
Thabo
Rose

vs.

Oden
Aldridge
Webster/Outlaw
Roy
Blake

Would be a great discussion piece, but I see the Blazers with the better roster there.

Its not rigged the odds of winning twice in a row are as good as winning it once. If you roll one die (dice) the odds of it landing on 6 are 16.6% On your next roll the odds are still the same. Its just kharma look at the ups and downs of the Magic and they are a new team! Look at thier group now 40 million next year to Howard, Lewis and Nelson.

by TRiCioNeRo on Jun 3, 2008 10:21 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

yes

the odds individually are each 16.67%, but the odds of rolling a 6 twice in a row is actually 16.67*16.67 = 2.77%.

It's kind of a statistical anomaly.

Each event is independent (in this case, each draft lottery). So, each year, when the teams step up to the table, the odds are locked in. The odds of jumping from #9 to #1 are 17/1000…EACH YEAR.

However, the odds of the #9 team jumping to #1 two years in a row are 17/1000 *17/1000. Linking the two probabilities makes them, as it were, one event—and you have to calculate the odds, not separately, but together. The answer, by the way, is 0.0289%. Now those are slim odds.
