So every team will have one-full-sleep to think about who didn't get drafted. The 2nd round is the perfect place for teams that love a player but are scared of making a 4-year commitment. If teams see guys they love not get picked in the 1st round, they will be calling Masai and Bobby asking what it will take to get Pick #31. If M&B play their cards correctly, they could create a bidding war amongst teams that have players on their draft boards that they want, but can't get a read on how much longer they will be available. Only way they can guarantee that their desired guy will be theirs will be to step up and pay.
All of which is to say - it would not shock me if TOR only uses Pick #19 and "sells" Pick #31 to the highest bidder.
Generally if everyone's calling to buy that pick, you probably shouldn't be selling it. Especially when in you need talent as desperately as we do.
Right now, I'm leaning toward Holmes at #19 and Simpson at #31.
I also think this is the year to buy into the draft. If Memphis misses out on Clingan (and they probably will) maybe we can swing something for Poeltl. Kennard + Clarke + 9 for Poeltl and McDaniels could work for both teams.
