Mikhail Torrence

Teams with interest in Alabama's Mikhail Torrance have a similar dilemma. Mikhail however has a floor - #36 to the Detroit Pistons.
If other teams want Mikhail they are going to have to draft him before the 36th pick, or try and move into the bottom of the first round to trump any other secondnd round shoppers.
Torrance has been extremely good in workouts and is believed to be on the radar of the New York Knicks, the Miami HEAT and the Indiana Pacers.
If the Knicks are going Hobson in the first round, Torrance will be gone by the time their 38th selection rolls around. Miami's #18 is a bit high for Torrance and he'll be off the board at #41 when the HEAT draft again. The Pacers have the #10 and have been linked to deals to trade down, so Torrance is still a possibility for the Pacers in the 20's, but if the Pacers genuinely want Torrance they'll have to move up from their 40th pick in the second round.
Trade pick 10 for picks 16 and 23. Take Avery Bradley with 16 and Torrence with 23. Lets Bradley play his natural position sg on offense while defending today's ultra quick pg's. Torrence is a big pg capable of defending sg's.
