Tyler Ennis

Got to ride that Payne train! He is a stretch 4 who stayed all four years. Was a top recruit it just took him a lot of time to develop which is what you usually see with big men. He is a decent defensive big too.

Backup:
Ennis - good backup PG that distributes the ball, would move Jackson to SG
McDaniels - 3&D potential, can play both wing positions

Ennis is the upside pick. A better shooting version of Rondo. It gives options in how to deal with Reggie. It makes the offense more versatile going forward. It gives good insurance in case Westbrook misses time again this year.

Payne is a low ceiling pick. Payne is one of the oldest players in the draft after being one of the oldest players in college last year! Payne took 4 years to be come a solid college player and he still gets pushed around on the block. He needs to get stronger, extend his shooting range and adjust to NBA speed. It would be like drafting a 26 year old QB in the NFL and we've seen how that worked for the Panthers and Browns.

1. Ennis
2. Dinwiddie
3. Klimenko

Only if you lack understanding of why we'd be drafting him. It would be more akin to trading a third round pick for Damon Huard.

Ennis. Value pick. Not my favorite but it's probably BPA.
