If Minnesota wins the #3 pick in the lotto...
What would you do as GM?

Easy. Draft whoever's left between Embiid, Wiggins and Parker.

BPA, baby. Wiggins, Parker, Embiid can't all go in the 1st 2. Wiggins and Parker don't leave consequences if picked, Embiid makes us trade Pek or Dieng away.

Re: Minnesota wins the #3 pick in the lotto.
OK, are you keeping Embiid, Dieng, and Pekovic?
Parker and Love? Trying another tweener at SF with Love at PF?
Trading vets for youth or youth for vets?
Wiggins is easy, but he's going 1 or 2.

Wiggins really would solve all or our problems.
Man that'd be nice.

The only reason you don't draft Embiid is if you have 20 year old Shaq.
Otherwise, you draft Embiid.

I'd have no qualms passing on Embiid. I think Parker, Wiggins, Smart, and Exum are all potentially worth the #3 pick.

I agree. You draft Embiid.
Then what? Trade it down or trade someone else?

I think you could draft Embiid #3 and be assured by the #4 pick holder they'd trade up. Maybe #4/23 for #3, but at least #4/34

I might be tempted to go with Exum. I'm really tired of tweener forwards.

I'd do 4/23 for 3

I'm thinking that way too.C.lupus wrote:Narf wrote:Krapinsky wrote:I'd have no qualms passing on Embiid. I think Parker, Wiggins, Smart, and Exum are all potentially worth the #3 pick.

I like Exum a lot but he's got a lot of Rubio's strengths and weakness. Great playmaker, not a great shooter. I still take him #4 if we can't trade for a stud wing.

If you have the 3rd pick in a three player draft, you don't trade down.

You get Parker or Embiid #3, whoever you think drops. Then what?

Yup. And unlike DWill, I think both Parker and Wiggins are SFs much more than PFs.

If it's Parker, just take him, I think he can play SF and be a legit go to scorer. If it's Embiid, then both Pek and Gorgui are o the block and take the deal you like best.

Trade Pek or Dieng if Embiid, start Parker at SF with Brew at SG if we get him.

LOL! I thought my dream came true already. Then I remember that the lottery is not until next month. But seriously, it's just a toss up of who falls to #3 between Wiggins, Parker and Embiid
