2018 NYKFP Mock Lottery competition (results are in)

[spree#8]

Once again let's continue a NYKFP tradition.

Credit goes to rtn393 for beginning this forum tradition.

So I welcome y'all to the thirteenth annual NYKFP Mock Lottery Competition! Post your prediction of the lottery picks (1-14) using the template below. Up for grabs, as always, is the right to brag. Below the template is the scoring system. I will judge and then post the results at the end of the thread shortly after the draft results are in. The 2018 NBA Draft will be hold on Thursday, June 21.

Regulations: Copy/paste the below template into your message body and replace the question marks with the name of a draft entrant. The scoring system requires you to guess the spot at which the player is drafted, not which team the player ends up with. In short, do not factor trades into your mock. You will receive an extra 10 points for correctly predicting the player the Knicks draft. You will not be penalized for incorrectly predicting New York's selection.

1) Phoenix - ???
2) Sacramento - ???
3) Atlanta - ???
4) Memphis - ???
5) Dallas - ???
6) Orlando - ???
7) Chicago - ???
8) Cleveland - ???
9) New York - ???
10) Philadelphia - ???
11) Charlotte - ???
12) LA Clippers - ???
13) LA Clippers - ???

Scoring: The scoring system used by rtn393 is based on the nba.com system. If you guess a pick correctly, you receive 14 points. If you are off by one position, you receive 13, off by two is 12, and so on. If a player you entered is not chosen in the lottery, you receive 0 points.

You may edit your selections (using the "Edit" button on the top right corner of your submitted post) until 7:00 PM EST on the night of the draft.

Not my ideal pick for ourselves but I think we'll be intrigued by Knox's upside, athleticism, size and skill set which will see us select him.

[rebound]

i think kncks take porterjr and maybe trade him to clipps.

Out of competition, here is what my lottery mock would have looked like:
1) Phoenix - Ayton 14
2) Sacramento - Bagley +14 = 28
3) Atlanta - Doncic +14 = 42
4) Memphis - JJJ +14 = 56
5) Dallas - Bamba +13 = 69
6) Orlando - Young +13 = 82
7) Chicago - MPJ +7 = 89
8) Cleveland - Sexton + 14 = 103
9) New York - Knox + 24 = 127
10) Philadelphia - Mikal + 14 = 141
11) Charlotte - Carter + 10 = 151
12) LA Clippers - Miles + 14 = 165
13) LA Clippers - SGA + 12 = 177
14) Denver - Zhaire + 0 = 177

Draft is always on Thursdays. You would've gotten the second place with a really good 177 points, so make sure to try to recapture your crown next season.

No problem.

Yeah, I was also too stubborn with Doncic for example (because I would have picked him first).

[NewlyKnicked]

Yeah thanks spree, and my special gratitude for including me on the side. I’ll make sure to be there on time next year
