Do you even know how the draft is conducted? How can they rig it?

the same way they rigged Lebron to Cleveland and Ewing to the Knicks...stop being so ignorant to how the NBA world works.

I agree that wiggins is being misused, but it's obvious Embiid has the brightest future out of all of em...he's been playing the game since 09! dudes ceiling is hakeem.

i wouldnt say it's obvious, i think wiggins has the highest ceiling if he lives up to potential. embiid is no slouch, but big-man game translates the worst to the nba nowadays. it's the number 1 bust position. not saying embiid will be a bust, but i doubt if he ever gets anywhere close to hakeem.

You still didn't answer my question? How do they do the draft? How would it be rigged when each team has a representative present in the room while the draft is being done? Don't you think that mark cuban and co. would file a lawsuit towards the league if they rigged such an event? lol at you knowing "how the NBA world works" when you don't even know how the draft is conducted. The patrick ewing draft wasn't even the same as how the draft is conducted now and that one WAS rigged and the owners figured that out and they changed the draft format in 1990 to what it is today. How is lebron going to cleveland, who had the worst record and the highest chance to get the number one pick that year a rigged draft? If you're gonna bring up a year where as a conspiracy theorist(which is what you're claiming, a CONSPIRACY with no actual facts) the draft was rigged, the only years i would bring up is the d. rose and greg oden drafts, and still it's not like they had a beasting year and they got the no.1 pick, they had a 10% chance and that means 1 out of every ten years a team that doesn't have the best odds(ie the bottom 3 teams of the league) would win the lottery. If the league wanted the lakers to have a top tier player they wouldn't have vetoed the chris paul deal AND they wouldn't have constructed the new collective bargaining agreement in a way where it cripples big market teams like the lakers. I know you like to troll NIK and other laker fans cause you're a boston fan(are you still a boston fan?) and it's always been the IN thing to say that "the league favors the lakers", but actual facts show the exact opposite, that the league is in favor of small market teams and parity among all teams.

How many full Kansas games have you seen this year? Wiggins has the athletic ability to be a superstar but he lacks the mentality of a superstar. He's even more passive than durant or lebron out of highschool, let alone a kobe or t-mac or even paul george. He needs to work on his handles(which is possible ala paul george) and his jump shot, which shouldn't be too hard since his form isn't THAT bad, but he needs to develop that killer instinct that I haven't seen in him which is pretty hard to develop, unless he gets drafted by the lakers where a player like kobe can take him under his wing, I doubt he'll be what people thought he would be by seeing him play against a bunch of high school kids. If he gets drafted to a team like the bucks or orlando watch him be one of the biggest busts in NBA history.
Hack Wilson - real:
lebron was already working out with the cavs as a senior in high school....every and anyone knew he was going to Cleveland at all costs
the team with the worst record doesn't always get the #1 pick (which is honestly pretty stupid if you ask me but that's for another day)

He was working out with the cavs cause he was from cleveland, whats your point? Almost all LA born and raised players or even a lot of ucla and usc players go work out at the lakers training facility in el segundo, does that mean they're gonna get drafted by the lakers? "Everyone and anyone knew he was going to cleveland at all costs"? wtf kinda statement is that? Please bring actual facts to the argument and not some shit like that. Cleveland tanked that year and had the highest percentage to win the draft and they did. I know the team with the worst record doesn't always win the lottery, thats why it's called the LOTTERY...since the new draft of 1990 only 2-3 of the teams with the worst record got the number 1 overall pic and the most number 1 overall picks went to the 3rd worst record in the league, but that doesn't mean that to get the number 1 pick you should aim for the 3rd worst record as apposed to the worst record. The worst record gets the most ping pong balls, hence the highest percentage to get the #1 pick, just because we've had 20 years of a lottery that only happens ONCE a year it doesn't mean that its a big enough sample size to base the 3rd worst record as a fact to receive the 1st overall pick, those are called anomalies.
