That is unless Dunn, Murray or Hield slip down to 8, however unlikely that may be. We probably hold on to the 8 until then in hopes someone falls and maybe look at trading down when we're on the clock.

Poetl and Ellenson will possibly move up that draft board IMO. I'd be surprised to see no real deal bigs going until after 8.

No traditional bigs first 7 picks is a sign of the times.

Yeah, as City of Trees said it may be a sign of the times, but all the taller guys up top are tweeners. If there is a team in the top 7 looking for potential and need size they'd be stupid to pass up on Ellenson by taking a redundant guard or wing that they don't need. It's the same reason I think it'd be dumb for the Kings to take on of the bigs in the back of the lotto. There is no room to even remotely fit them in.

And speaking about a sign of the times, the Warriors have had to ditch their own deathball lineup because of the legit bigs on the Thunder. Maybe that might have an effect on the draft, who knows.

Trade down #8 for #14 with Chi Koufus for Taj Gibson take Sabonis or Vallentine.

Could see it honestly.

Phi - Simmons
Lal - Ingram
Bos - Bender
Phx - Brown (why would they take another guard?)
Min - Hield
NOP - Murray or Dunn (either or)
Den - ??? (Do they take Dunn or Murray? With Mudiay/Harris?)
Sac -- Which leads me to think Dunn might slip. Murray goes 6, maybe Chriss goes 7, & Dunn is there for Sac at 8?
