Why is everyone saying we are 13th right now?
Nobody in this thread has said that. Three or four posters in this thread have said 12th. I think that maybe one poster in a different thread said 13th once by mistake.
It's not very important. As I pointed out months ago, 12th was extremely likely, and 11th to 13th was inevitable, so nothing in this calendar year could change our status as a late lottery team. In the last decade, there has not been one All Star drafted in the 11th-13th range, or even any likely candidates, it's just too late in the draft for one slot to make a whole lot of difference.
Unless one's looking for a straw man to beat up, the lottery is barely worth mentioning this year. Other issues completely dwarf it.
