I feel the same way about Cam Payne. The kid is going to be special but I don't see us taking him with Kemba's contract situation.

If were not sold on a specialist in Booker at 9, which seems like a reach, why not pick up another pick from Boston and hope to hit on a Draymond Green type pick in a deep draft class? Couldn't hurt.

We don't have the roster spots or ability to draft another young big, we have space at point or the wings which is what we're likely to draft. Another late pick this year doesn't hold much value to us. If we trade back with Boston to take Hunter the only thing I want from them is the Nets or Mavericks' 2016 pick.

I didn't mean draft a big. I meant hitting on someone, like a Draymond Green, late in the draft.

Since we can't seem to hit on someone in the lottery. Ever. Also, I was assuming a trade on draft night or moving our 2nd round pick would happen to open up space on the roster.

Tyler Harvey from Eastern Washington is a name to watch. He can fill it up.
