Instead of Turner/Henry, we could still come out with Wes Johnson/Xavier Henry with two top 10 picks and any number of very good prospects with the charlotte pick (and yes, I know that right now we don't get the bobcats pick, but I expect them to grab the 8th playoff seed).
I get it was a general point about picking up a couple wings, I'm just curious as to why people seem to treat it as a foregone conclusion that Turner will be a part of this draft class. I'll acknowledge a change in thinking is possible after getting hurt, but aside from that I have yet to hear a good reason why he'd leave a chance at a championship on the table given just about everything he and others have said, and that he already turned down a chance to be a top 6 pick in order to come back to a team picked in the upper middle class of the Big Ten.
