re: Garland or White?

I would never make the pick with our current roster in mind. That is the top mistake decision makers make every year. The truth is that these guys won't really help you win until year 4 or 5, so why consider your current roster and fit when history says that almost every player on your current roster will be gone by then?

With that said, today I lean White but I expect to go back and forth every day. But one of these guys will go 4 or 5, so if the Pels don't pick until 7, they won't have the choice between the two. At best, they can take whoever is left over. I lean White because I think he will be able to defend multiple positions. I also think he can be a slightly better playmaker. With Garland, I see a ceiling of Kemba. A flat out scorer who can pass a bit, but really can't guard either position. Which would be awesome, but has its limitations, especially on winning teams. White's ceiling to me is maybe a bigger Chauncey Billups. Can create, can shoot, can defend, can play on ball or off.

I would lean White as of today, but I am curious to see Garland at the combine
