Well, with all the scenarios being discussed for draft options, I thought I would toss a poll up to drive everyone to make a stance on what you think will happen come draft night.

Have some fun here. Personally, I think we stand pat at 5 and end up with Murray.

This is a good poll. I think it's awfully hard to predict, but I believe we are going to trade the pick. I'd love to say for Butler, but I don't see Chicago doing that for Thibs. I think we will get a different veteran, but you got me as to who it would be.

Option 1 for me. I don't think Thibs and Layden get a deal done and I think the bigs available at 5 are projects and Thibs doesn't come off as a guy who wants a significant project to work on.

Terrific poll, hicks...you did a better job of summarizing all the potentially available options than I just did in the draft thread. Seven possible options, and I don't know if I would be terribly upset with any of them. This might be a good thread to bump in a year to evaluate with hindsight the choice that our braintrust made.

All the attention the Wolves have given Bender (sending scouts over to Europe last week to work him out, and then spending a lot of time with him on Thursday) makes me think they have him in their sights, but I really have no idea. I think I will vote keep the pick and draft a big (Bender or Criss).

I think we remain at 5 and draft Hield.

To me, according to that rumor that after Bender's workout Thibs said "we need shooting," that's a dead giveaway.

I can see Thib's wheeling and dealing but failing to land a deal so he drafts and keeps Kris Dunn. I can also see us trading for or buying a second round pick.

I'd love to see Payne dealt for a 2nd rounder that could land us Zimmerman.

Dunn, and be done. ;-)

Dunn or Hield

Well Bender projects to being a perimeter big and he has a nice looking shot so I wouldn't completely dismiss him.
