Figures that if we were ever going to get lucky in the draft, it would be in a year with no clear cut #1 and a whole bunch of mid tier talent.

Well in all honesty, we're not getting a high lotto pick.

I think our best choice is Kemba.

Lets be realistic, we are not getting Williams or Irving. So I say in this order id take:

Perry Jones
Harrison Barnes
Enes Kanter
Alec Burks
Brandon Knight
Kemba Walker
Tristan Thompson
Kawhi Leonard
Chris Singleton
Kenneth Faried

I would say dont draft by position and just take the best player available. You can always build around them with trades and free agency. I would trade anyone with the exception on Gortat and Dudley.

Williams would be so nasty here.


My sentiments exactly. If we end up moving up a couple slots due to lottery luck (very, very unlikely, but it COULD statistically happen) I say take the BPA available regardless of position. We could use a player at any position right now outside SF. Derrick Williams claims he's a small forward in the big leagues, but his inside play is fit for a tweener PF a la Paul Millsap. He would be "nasty" alongside Nash as Rsavaj said. Would bring back some early Amar'e memories.

I believe you *always* have to take BPA - or you will regret it. You can always move someone, or the pick themselves, to get what you need if necc.

If you take BPA, someone else drafting after you wanted them -

If we end up around 12-14, we should take Kenneth Faried. He's going to be a beast rebounding the ball. 6'9 that has a nose to rebound like Dennis Rodman imho.

Burks for me. I'm okay with Frye as our starting PF. Plus, with Lawal coming back from injury, I reckon Lawal will be part of our rotation next season because of his tenacious rebounding.
