Duh that's why I had Leonard as part of the 4 in my post.
However we also had the 23rd pick that same year which we used on Mirotic who we then flipped for D-Mo (#20)
that's why I didn't include Mirotic, Butler, Jackson and Shumpert on that first list since we could have taken them #23
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

14. Marcus Morris
15. Kawhi Leonard
16. Nikola Vucevic
19. Tobias Harris
22. Kenneth Faried

we need a SF that year
i was screaming for Leonard but Morey drafted Marcus Morris to play SF
i know why Morey did it
Leonard weakness in college is ball handling and outside shooting
what i like about him that time is his size and his defense
he is good ft shooter which i believe can develop into a good 3pts shooter

I wanted Vucevic really. Chuck Hayes was our center. Yao retired a couple of weeks before the draft. Of course we had Thabeet then as our future C lol!

We had Kevin Martin and Courtney Lee. KMart easily could have played SF and Budinger still had potential back then too.

i have no idea who is Vucevic
but you know Morey at that time is drafting best player available (trade asset) not about team need
