Draft prospects - Who do we want?

Have I mentioned how much I like Bobby Portis? :-d

Am I too video game mode-ish with this idea, or is it conceivable that both second round picks could get us in the top-20, and then MAYBE that top-20 pick + Bjelica could get us in the top 10? I'm not at all suggesting that it is, obviously it comes down to team trade fit (Sacramento pursued a stretch-four?) and available prospects, but you expect your PoBO to cover all options.

If that was the case, I'd spend that top-10 pick on Cauley-Stein if he was available, but I don't think he will be. In that case, I'd go with Hezonja or Johnson.

I think the move back into the first round wouldn't happen until draft night when the team we trade with sees their available options and decides there's nothing they really want so they make the trade with us thus eliminating another trade up because the pick will already be made. You might be able to trade NB with guys we have for that top 10 pick like a Dieng or Bazz, but I think that would be a tough sell given how teams value top 10 picks. You'd probably have to give up NB and Lavine which I wouldn't be willing to do.

I floated the idea recently about using our assets to position for Tyus Jones. Still like that idea, anybody else?

I'd be happy with a couple of the PG's that should be around in the latter half of the draft. Tyus, Grant, Wright are all guys I'd trade back into the first round to get. Would anyone trade back into the first to get Dekker to be a small ball point forward? Draft Towns and trade back into the first to get Dekker? Ricky/Lavine/Wiggins/Dekker/Towns.

Dekker would get manhandled at the 4. I like him at the 3, though.

I like that too

He's 10 lbs lighter than Daymond Green and similar to Harrison Barnes who have both done fine for the Warriors. He did just fine against Kentucky as well who played multiple C's who are pro players as well. More and more 4's are becoming face up guys and not back to the basket guys and Dekker would be able to stay in front of all of them.

And he'd have Towns blocking all the shots and getting all the rebounds behind him to cover for any deficiencies right? That makes the offensive gain greater than the defensive loss.

Chad Ford thinks the Wolves will try to package 31 & 36 to move up. Okafor/Tyus?

@billoram: .@JerryZgoda asks Russell why he decided to come to combine. "If I wasn't here I would have probably never met you. And you're a great guy."
