The odds of Phoenix drafting #5 is 27.8% and #6 is 20%. The odds of drafting #1 is only 14%.

Sure everything changes once the first ball is selected but it is not a reach that the Suns could draft #5 or #6.

Running the Tankathon simulator is fun if you have tried it... or even if you have. :D

And let's get Zion.

Got #1 the first time i tried it just now. Not touching that thing again.

10 times.

#'s 5 or 6 on 5 of them. #1 on 2. #2 on 1.

That's about right. Basically a 48% chance we pick 5th or 6th. Man would that suck.

If we send JJ back and nab the number one pick again, no way am I trading him. Even if he has to sit the bench until the next draft, at that point I hold on to JJ! LOL!

I'm with you on this one. Ayton and Zion would be a coup for the Suns.

We now can drop to seventh by losing a tiebreaker to Cleveland, if both Cleveland and us drop out of the top four.

Four teams have to jump both us and Cleveland AND we have to lose the coin flip.

Yup. It will happen.

The draft lotto is on my birthday... so... umm... we've got that going, I guess.

Two years ago on my birthday I booked a 6 week trip to Europe, last year on my birthday my parents forgot to call me. I don't know that Zion would mean as much to me as that trip around Europe would... but it would make my parents forgetting again easier to take.

Wow. Given the range of outcomes with your birthday it’s virtually no indicator at all!

Happy birthday in advance . . . son. (Does that help?)

One year, on my birthday, I came home and opened up my email and was playing a happy birthday video. My wife asked what I was doing on the computer. I showed her the video and she turned white. She took my boys and had to go run an "errand" real fast before dinner. LOL!
