re: Who is your pick?

Saints 2nd round pick that Stern is gonna give us because Gooddell was unfair to the Saints

Shabazz is a cold blooded scorer. He wants the ball and isn't scared to take the last shot.

I'd like to see him, Gordon, and AD play off of each other. Would be a nice young trio.

Shabazz is the pick for people wanting a "big 3" a la the OKC model people love to reference.

Smart is the #2 guy we'd want to accomplish that dream scenario.

No joke, I would love to take this guy in the 2nd. High energy guy that is a great perimeter defender and decent scorer. Tough son of a gun. Him and Aaron Craft are the best leaders in the tourney so far.

The team has the 6th worst record. They'd be lucky to get the 5th pick.

I'm pretty cool with the BPA as long as it isn't a PF. I'm a little hesitant about taking a SG or SG/SF tweener. But I'm assuming that Gordon will be shopped heavily and there is a chance he can be traded. My personal wish list..

1. Smart (only "franchise" type PG in the draft- huge team need)
2. Bennett (he has the most potential in the draft IMO- monster in waiting)
3. Porter (nice scorer, should be a solid pro)
4/5. Zeller/Noel (I'm split on them and they are both bigger projects than Davis- big talents though)

I don't care for the group of McLemore, Oladipo or Shabazz. They are above average athletes or volume scorers. The league is full of these guys and you can sign them anytime. They are a huge gamble and it's tough to project how good they will be.

Im not sure of his name, but i really like that guy at Gonzaga, the center with long hair. I really want a big man. Id rather get somebody to replace Lopez than Vasquez right now

Kelly Olynyk

The OP said what would you do if we got the #1 pick

Deal back for Burke

McLemore

Everyone is very high in Burke. And they should be because he's a great player. But I don't see a top 5 player in him. Especially considering our needs. Grevias may not be an all star with a huge ceiling, but at least he's a starting PG in the NBA and better than average.

If we don't get "our guy" that we want, I want to trade back and get Larkin in the late 1st. IMO he's just as good as Burke and you will get better value from him considering where he gets drafted. I don't see Burke as a top 10 pick. But someone will take him there. Larkin and Burke are identical players and Larkin is faster and may be a better athlete. Ty Lawson type guy.

Michael Carter Williams has a higher ceiling than Burke IMO. I can see why MCW is a lottery pick, but I don't see why Burke is.
