I would rather draft a big a 9 and then move 26 and Ridnour to move up a couple spots to secure Ledo.


If the players aren't there you've got to go BPA, but we need like 35 minutes per game at SG and about 15 at C. A backup level SG isn't good enough. I'd much rather draft on need in this draft if at all possible.

And that is why you look at free agency and trades.

Withey @ 26 would be awesome. Gives Budinger a volleyball buddy.

I guess it depends on how you view Ledo...

Personally, I think hes got potential to be a stud. If we can't get Oladipo somehow, I go big at 9 (Adams, Zeller) and take Ledo at 26.
