I just hope we stay at 10. Isola had a good point on radio this morning. How many top 5 draft picks are still playing in playoffs?

What are the odds of us never moving up consecutive times in like we have?
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Its like buying a gun raffle ticket at a pheasants banquet.
If you keep buying them each year, sooner or later you are bound to win.

Moving on up! To the top of the draft! To a deluxe apartment in the sky!

Bill Simmons just said 21 times in the lottery :punch:

2 playoff series wins. And they were in the same year. :beer:

I'm probably wrong as usual.... but I just don't see Zion Williamson being an NBA star. No question he's a gifted athlete but at six foot six is he going to be able to bully his way around the paint at the NBA level? I get he's quick and explosive.... but he'll be playing against men at the NBA level. I look for him to get his shot blocked a lot.

Look at his weight though, 280 pounds is huge even for an NBA player! That's why I think he may still be able to bully himself around against the best, even in his first few years.

It certainly is going to be interesting to watch that's for sure. I'll be rooting for him he seems like a good kid.

He'll be the 2nd heaviest next to Boban in the entire league at 6'6". I look for him to change his body composition a bit and lighten the load on his body. Needs to get that FT % up too because he will live at the line.
