Cheer up— getting it this year (should) have zero impact on next year.  1 is better than 10.  Someone may highly covet a player and trade for it.  Maybe we covet a player.  An asset just increased in value… net gain.  Atlanta controls the draft.  Snyder gets to hand pick a guy on a rookie scale salary.  It may actually help us make trades with other players as we know where we can add a specific player.

I’ll take it.

10 was better this year than 1. This is not good. 

Sarr is not a big man. Clingan at 1 is way too rich. This f***ing sucks

I manifested this.. just saying

[NBASupes]

The year we needed 1 was the Edwards draft or Zion draft.

I had a feeling as well. This still doesn't make up for the 2019 Lottery.

So much crying. ....  I love it.

[KB21]

Yep.  I’m all in on Sarr.

This was definitely the worst possible outcome. This feels like Carolina Panthers where you got CJ Stroud and Bryce Young and the Hawks might take Bryce Young instead of Stroud 

of all the bad takes you post, you keep topping them

[MaceCase]

This is a draft that’s been described as “one that will get whatever GM picks #1 fired”

Are you sure? I’d prefer Tim Duncan or Kobe myself if we get to cherry-pick.

Sarr is one 7-footer that I’m very confident has the ability to be a modern big.  

Thank you Jesus!

We are all aligned of who we should get.

?  
If you are going to use this unrelated metaphor, why can’t we be Chicago then?  They were #1.  Carolina traded up for the wrong player.  We aren’t selling any farm land like Carolina did.

I'm f***ing livid. I waited for this day for years only for it to happen in the only draft I didn't want it to happen. Even in the 2013 draft, I really like Oladipo and Beal. Clingan upside is a better Gobert with a worse stamina.

Sarr is one of those guys who insane talent but he's not a big man. Jon Bender type. You draft him, he might not end up being shit but you hope he's a superstar. 

Man, I really hate this top 5 with a passion. Risacher should get a serious look but he won't because of BI. Man, this is some bullshit. I can see this looking really bad at the midseason when we should have taken Clingan. I can really see them buying Sarr and buying his defensive upside and thinking maybe Trae can make him more than what he is which is a shit screener who is a reactive defender. Ugh! 

I wanted to stick at 10 but I had a bad feeling we was gonna win the lottery

[NBASupes]

Take Clingan. He's good enough to at least get us back into the playoffs next year. 

[GameTime]

WOW I will take it. Better this year than next. Watching draft tape alot more now.

Sarr is easily the guy. Hawks University will iron him out

win/win baby!!!

[Sothron]

Just me spit balling this: wonder if the Spurs love someone enough to pair with Wemby to send us the 4 and 8 picks for our #1 pick.
