Kyle Hines is actually a great player from UNC G. If anything though, he's a late 2nd rounder. He'll definitely be on someone's summer league team but probably will have a rather solid career playing in Europe.

He is a very hard worker though. Granted he played in my conference (SoCon) which isn't the hardest conference in the world but he led D-1 in longest consecutive game streak with at least 10 points. He was in the 80's or something while the next closest to him was in the 60's. If you look at his game logs though, he played very well against big name schools.

If we don't trade this pick we, aint got nothing coming.

Bottomline.

^^ What do you mean we wouldn't have anything coming? We can definitely get a solid player out of the #19. Probably 5 or 6 of these guys will be around at the least: Koufos, Speights, Douglas-Roberts, D. Greene, D. Arthur, Batum, Rush, R. Lopez, J. Thompson, Hibbert, Lawson, McGee, Budinger. We should definitely be able to land a solid player at PF/C or SG. Most likely not a star, but a future starter is more than possible.

I'm not so sure what to make of the guys the Cavs have coming in, but I also know that Ferry plays this stuff very close to the vest. Who knows what he might have in mind, but there are some potentially good players that should be available.

sounds like we may be picking up a second somwhere.

That is what I was thinking, unless Ferry thinks most of those guys are going to fall out of the draft completely.

i doubt we're picking up a second; rather these are guys who probably won't get drafted and would be FA signee possibilities for the cavs or roster filler for the summer league...

We have no reason to not pick up a second somehow someway. There will be teams who will be looking to basically give picks away since they will have far too many. Throw some money at a team like Portland who has a ton of picks and we should be able to put ourselves back in the 2nd.

I totally agree.
1. These guys are bordering in/out of the draft. And not just the Lebron factor but they fill a need and know we didnt pass on them since we didnt have a pick.
2. We can possibly get in the draft by buying a pick if teams with multiple picks cant move up or trade for next years picks.
3. One of our trades can possibly be for picks in this draft.
