re: NBA Considering Changing Draft Format

I wouldn't mind this. As long as you draft well you could put together a contender through the draft this way.

I know it's completely unrealistic to look at it this way but taking the Trail Blazers for example; starting from the Oden pick, they could've feasibly ended up with something like:

C: DeAndre Jordan
F: LaMarcus Aldridge
F: Omri Casspi
G: Klay Thompson
G: Damian Lillard

Plus a solid bench. Obviously not every team would be so fortunate but there are plenty of solid players throughout the first round. You just need a little luck to hit when you do get one of those top picks.
