My guesses, in order, on the other player:
1. McDermott (this is the guy with 3 successive letters the other poster was referring to..cDe)
2. Stauskas (similar to McDermott, but less of a finished product)

Phenom - Yes, I did have some information. I spoke to someone very high in the organization a week before the draft. I can tell you that Flip had 2 targets at #13. One if them was off the board when we were on the clock, but I still don't want to say who. The other was LaVine. Flip was extremely high on LaVine well before the draft. And yes, Flip had Wiggins #1 on his draft board. I knew before the draft that Flip was targeting Klay Thompson as his second choice in a Love deal. Getting Wiggins was always Flip's first choice but he knew it couldn't happen unless LeBron went there. When I say he knew, I mean he knew for a fact - meaning he had already talked with the Cavs. Nothing earth-shattering now, but everything I was told then has priced to be true.
