#10 pick for Darren Collison and #26 pick from Indy. Thoughts.

We already know Collison's ceiling is solid but not all-star level. At #26 guys like Royce White, John Jenkins, Fab Melo, Moe Harkless could potentially be available.

I say no but I don't know enough about the mid 20's projections in this draft.

What do those hit like 20% of the time? I think the 10 pick in this draft would hit like 80% of the time.

Picks in the 20's don't usually hit well(if by hit you mean solid starter) though oddly enough the #26 pick has had some good success: John Salmons, Kevin Martin, Jason Maxiell, Jordan Farmar, Aaron Brooks, George Hill, Taj Gibson in the last decade.

Everyone on here was on Collison's jock when we traded him

Now no one wants him

I never liked Collison as a starter but he seemed the perfect backup for CP3.

That would be terrible. I don't see Collison being that much better than Vasquez, and to slide down 16 picks for him would be dumb as hell. I've been losing a lot of faith in Chad Ford in the last couple weeks.

Collison was SICK when he started for those 30 games or so

I disagree strongly with that.

To be fair Ford posed this scenario in response to a Pacers' fan question about them moving up so he may not have considered whether we'd take it at all.

Yes I agree. I wasn't overly impressed with him in the Miami series though.

I'm not sure. Collison's points per 48, FG%, and assists have dropped each season (rebounding and TOs have improved). Vasquez was better this season than Collison was (higher PER), and Collison did a really poor job setting up his team in the playoffs.

When I think you can make a legit debate that our backup is better than the guy we're acquiring, then I sure as shite don't want to drop from 10 to 26 to make it happen.
