re: The importance of losing

I was obviously opposed to "tanking" last year, but I agree with the gist of what you're saying. I took most of the losses last year in stride because of the draft (even though I think luck and/or Stern had more to do with getting The Brow). Like you said, the draft just isn't that good this year. You may very well end up wasting cap space on a lottery pick. For the sake of forward momentum, I want to see wins. I want to see our guys learn how to close out games. I want to see Davis learn to play with foul trouble. I want to see Gordon, Vasquez, and Anderson start to consistently show killer instinct. I want Rivers to continue improving his drive and kick game (his shot needs a LOT of offseason work). I want to see the guys having fun playing together. I want them building chemistry for the future. I do not want to see losses. All that said, I still fully expect to end up in the 6-10 range if we hold onto the pick.
yep...i think the most important thing for this season is Anthony Davis development.
...get him as many minutes as possible so that he's as close as possible to being ready to be a star for next season.
like corndeaux said, all the championship teams drafted a franchise, top 50 player. we think we have that guy. we need to make that growth happen as quick as possible, imo.

I don't understand how all of you are slagging off this entire draft class when Shabazz is rated as highly as MKG was at this time last season, and remains a very realistic possibility to fall to us.
How does VOR have any credibility on this - he admitted that he has never even SEEN Shabazz play, yet he has opined on what a bust he will be more than a handful of times.
That is just ignorant. It's as ignorant as rooting for meaningless wins when losses so obviously help us land a starting SF in Muhammad or Porter.
