These are players picked #30 over the last 15 years. The 30th pick has been a first rounder since 2004. Looks like from the 2000 nba draft to now you can find a rotation player Jaric, Hassell, Dickau, Harrison and Lee are all rotation players in the nba so there is hope for us at #30 plus we have the Draft doctor Danny Ainge. I think we will geta solid guy with the pick.

Lou Roe!
The only "sexy" name there is Lee's, kind of a buzzkill list.
(Wait...dude, you forgot Gilbert Arenas in 2001 -- Hassell was 29th)

High school sleepers don't exist anymore, so there'll be no more Monta Ellises. We don't draft Euros, apparently, so we won't get a Scola, probably wouldn't want to wade through the red tape to wait for one anyway considering our window. We have plenty of undersized and underrated college PF, although that seems like the kind of bargain that's most often available that late -- we hopefully wouldn't turn down a Millsap in the rough just because we already have Powe and Baby on the bench. The next most available commodity in the late 1st/early 2nd is either a college-grizzled sharpshooter or college-grizzled backup combo PG, either of which we might be able to use depending on who gets re-signed. The name-brand sleepers/sliders to look out for (not going out on a limb here) are Douglas-Roberts, Bill Walker, Dorsey, Giddens, DJ White.
