If we trade Love for #2, Miller & Smith for #5 which way would you guys pick?

Idk how likely it is that we get the 5 for that but in the event that we do, I would head to the bar at 5:50 PM right now and probably not stop celebrating until the draft is over. It would have to be like a Rubio/Thabeet/(Evans/Harden/DeRozan) selection. Don't tease me like this though.

Not sure, that would be kind of awkward since this draft is so guard heavy, unless you go with Thabeet at 2 (Which would be a mistake) you're going to have one of the picks on the bench.

Ideally I would draft Rubio then use 5 and 6 to get Harden at 3. If we have to use all 3 picks, I would go Rubio-Evans-Curry I guess.

Probably..

2-Rubio
5-Curry
6-Hill

Rubio
Thabeet
Derozan

If the chips fell right...Rubio, Harden, Thabeet. Realistically, I'd take Rubio, Hill, and DeRozan.

Assuming Thab/Harden are gone

Rubio
Hill
Evans

I don't see Evans working well with Rubio in the back court.

Rubio @2. I think SAC would take either Evans or Jennings so it'd depend on OKC. If the y went with Thabeet, then I'd draft Harden and maybe reach for Clark.
Rubio
Harden
Clark

If OKC went with Harden then I'd draft Thabeet and DeRozan.
Rubio
Thabeet
DeRozan

Rubio
and 2 of Harden/Thabeet/Hill/Evans/DeRozan/Clark depending on who is available...

Realistically this would be

Rubio
Thabeet/Hill (Thabeet is obviously the better fit here but I think Hill will turn out to be the better player so I don't really know who I'd take...)
DeRozan/Evans (think I'll prefer DeRozan here)

Clark that high?

In all honesty, I don't see 3 rookies working that well either. I would just imagine Evans coming off the bench. I think he would actually be a pretty good fit along Foye since he can guard either guard position.

Yeah, but long term, Evans and Rubio should hypothetically be our 2 best guards...and probably play significant minutes together. I'm not sure Evans can excel without the ball in his hands.

#2-Rubio
#5- Harden
#6+foye for #3-Thabeet

Yeah, it's a reach. I just didn't think we needed to draft a third guard and, if we are going to move Love, I'd just as soon not repeat the two PF experiment with Hill. Maybe a trade down for Clark would work.
Rubio/Harden/Clark/Jefferson would be a nice 1-4 I think.

I would like Rubio, Thabeet and Hill. Then we could start Foye and Gomes to get their stats up for a potential deadline trade. Also solidify the defense and athletisism next to Big Al.

I think I would rather have Evans since he is arguably the BPA, has more trade value, high ceiling, and he brings versatility.

I like the Clark pick if we get Rubio and Harden...

Rubio and Harden would give us our future backcourt and we should look to add either a C or a SF then...Clark seems like the best option to me then...he has a lot of talent and his size is great for a SF.

The correct answer for those that are unsure was posted by me earlier.

1. Clippers - Griffen
2. Wolves - Rubio
3. Thunder - Harden or DeRozan
4. Kings - Evans
5. Wolves - Harden or DeRozan
6. Wolves - Thabeet
18. Wolves - Clark?

C - Thabeet/Madsen
PF - Jefferson/Clark
SF - Gomes/Miller
SG - Harden/Brewer
PG - Rubio/Foye

I would want Rubio, Henderson, DeRozan

-So I think I would deal with Milwaukee for #10 instead of Washington for the #5 and take Henderson at #10 then.

I wouldn't mind a Rubio, Hill, DeRozan either

If Harden were to fall (Sacramento taking a PG), I'd probably go
Rubio, Harden, DeRozan

If somehow Thabeet fell
Rubio, Thabeet, DeRozan
