No way KCP is there at 14.

Draft Express has him going at 19.

If he's the guy Flip likes then just take him at #9. The difference in salary between 9 and 14 is $400,000 and the risk of a deal falling apart or him being taken by someone else isn't worth that small of a money difference.

I'd rank the three: Oladipo, Caldwell-Pope, McLemore

This is my feeling exactly.

DX is usually slower in making drastic changes in its mock.

What part of 'dream scenario' don't you guys get? :lol:

But it is still realistic.

Noel, McLemore, Burke, Oladipo, Porter, Len, Bennett, Muhammad, Carter-Williams, McCollum, Zeller, Adams.

Those are 12 guys who aren't that big of a stretch to go before KCP. Put Gobert or Saric in there and KCP is available at #14.

Why we have a better version.

KCP is someone I like a lot. Although the brief looks I have seen of him in action, I am getting some slight Wesley
Johnson vibes. At least KCP seems aggressive though.

I can't see Portland taking anyone who isn't a legit low post big man.

He's a SG and we need a SG

6-6, athletic, great shooter coming off screens, off the dribble, and with his feet set. Anything else not to like about the guy?

Ok i get that. There are other SGs in the draft, what makes him so special?

I think there's a good chance the Jazz would agree to that, if McCollum is a guy the Jazz really want and he's there at #9. Jazz fans are looking at McCollum, Schroeder, and Zeller/Adams at #14. Jazz like KCP too.

Another guy who should be on your radar is Glen Rice Jr.

Because the top 2 guys are going well before the Wolves pick, and there's a decent chance that McCollum is gone as well. So at #9, KCP is a clear step above the rest of the available SG prospects.

If we want a sharpshooter we could pursue John Jenkins from Atlanta.

Derrick Williams for #17, #18 & Jenkins.

#9: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Draft & Stash
#17: Dario Saric
#18: Rudy Gobert
#26: Giannis Adetokunbo

Rubio/Ridnour/Barea
Caldwell-Pope/Jenkins/Shved
Kirilenko/Budinger
Love/Cunningham/Kirilenko
Pekovic/Stiemsma/Johnson

Derrick Williams for two mid firsts in a weak draft plus Some nobody? Naahh

[RCG] · Post #1440 » by **[RCG]** » Sat Jun 1, 2013 2:00 am

Jenkins will be one of the top shooters in the league in a year or two. Clear a little bit of salary to sign Bud & Pek and pick up some high ceiling Euro's. I don't think Williams will ever be much more than a rotational forward so...
