It's draft day. I've read lots of polls with lots of different trade scenerios etc. But I haven't seen a board consensus one yet (unless I missed it). Simmons/Ingram will be gone - but any of the following guys could be available at #5. Which one would you take?

I voted Dunn....Not sure he'll be there though.

Murray

Dunn. But I would be seriously tempted to take Bender if he were still on the board...

I've changed my vote every time. Right now I'm feeling Bender. He could make this team epic defensively.

Easily Dunn, but I think the Celtics take him or trade down with a team that will take him.

Yeah, I've changed my vote several times over the past few weeks too...that's what makes tonight so much fun.

Right now I'm on the Bender bandwagon with the majority. I recognize the risk and acknowledge he as likely not as NBA-ready as some of the others, but I see him as the homerun pick in this draft. The prospect of KAT and him playing high-low is very enticing.

Dunn for me. Bender is a close second.

I picked Bender but if I was picking from the guards (which I think is more likely is the pick) I would go Murray...right now. Lol

I think a strong case can be made for most of the options. I took Bender because he seems like one of the higher upside guys and is also the position of greatest need. That said, I'm not convinced the Wolves would grab him even if he's there. My gut is telling me Thibbs might want to flip the switch from "build" to "win now", so I'm not sure he'd be interested in adding an 18 year old. We'll find out soon enough I guess.
