Just to add to this regarding Skal:
- forced to play a style at UK that went against his skillset. Lost confidence as a result. That confidence is starting to return.
-Scouts were super impressed with his workouts
- Dominated players at Nike Camp last year and showed he belonged. Now it's a year later and the same guys he played well against are being rated higher. Jonathan believes that the teams that saw Skal play at the camp will be higher on him than those that didn't.

I think Boston wants to trade the pick.

Was still holding out hope Chriss would fall to us. There goes that idea.

If he walked away with Bender, who many had wanted all year, it would be an excellent draft for us. He can be stashed for a year and Masai can use the 27th pick on whoever is left from:
Prince
Jackson
Luwawu
Maker
etc.

Because then we don't have valuable cap space (on guaranteed first round contracts) held up on players that warm the bench.

Because D-Leagers
1. You have to pay them
2. Takes up a roster spot.
Stashed players
You don't pay
Don't take roster spot
Still a asset that can be traded
