What if these people are gone?

What if Irving, Derrick Williams, Brandon Knight, Kanter, and Kemba Walker are all gone in the top 5 who would you look to pick? Kawhi Leonard, Bismack Biyombo, Valanucious, Burks, Marcus Morris?

Good question...makes you want to ask yourself what if there was a draft thread?

None of us have a real good idea of who Ernie Grunfeld would draft. Chad Ford thinks EG loves Vesely. None of us on the board like him though.

I think the general board consensus would be Valanciunus, but it by no means a unanimous choice. Others like Leonard. And at least one kook likes Faried. ;)

Yeah, that was a tart welcome, but the board sometimes get cluttered with threads. Welcome to the Wizards board.

The draft thread has a lot of people's thought on who would best match Wizards needs at 6, and possible trades up and down to maximize value. I find there plenty of well-informed (and maybe some uninformed) opinions about college prospects. It's pretty long, but wade through the last ten pages to get some current thinking. I have no opinion, other than I wish we got a higher pick.

Speak for yourself. I happen to like Vesely. :)

i have plenty of opinions, but I do also wish the Wizards had that 3rd pick along with the 18. Oh boy, that would have been sweet.

Now, the best hope is Kanter or Valanciunas falls, or Kemba falls so the Wizard can draft and trade him.

Biyombo, Singleton or Faried. Those would be the three I'd look at if Kanter & Walker are gone.

I'm in the minority but I don't like Valanciunas very much at all. Leonard also looks to be grossly overrated as well IMO.
