It sounds to me like if Noah is in the draft, we're taking him (if we get a chance).

[Lascar78]

no

There was a deadline to declare. Noah did not.

Amongst those who did declare, they can withdraw until june 18.

Noah is out

Oh... I see.

Be prepared to get the 6th or 7th pick.

Maybe I should jump on the Shelden Williams bandwagon so I won't be heartbroken when we don't have a chance to get one of the big 3.

if i'm not mistaken, we can't get lower than the 5th pick and unless a team below us gets lucky in the lotto drawing (and we don't), we will get the 4th pick.

Yep you are mistaken.

There is a 15.6% chance we land the 6th pick and a 1.3% chance that we land the 7th pick. In other words, it's a 17% chance we don't have a top 5 pick.

Knowing how the NBA hates us, that 17% chance will come true.
