    Yes. It isn't the number of spots, it's the talent/fit upgrade. I'd give up 3 2nd round picks to move up only one spot if it got us the player we really wanted. BPA.

    I think you're overly optimistic - here's what Chad Ford says now (post-combine):

    I think everyone has decided that Oladipo is the SURE THING, and that everybody else is just too risky. The only other "sure thing" seems to be Otto Porter, but, unlike Oladipo, people don't think he has star potential. I also read somewhere somebody saying that this could be the year that the #1 pick gets traded, precisely because everyone is too scared by Noel/McLemore/Bennett.

    I hope Da-Bo's Hoops Family beats the crap out of Stern.

    If we're stuck at #10 or even 11, how would people feel about Dennis Schröder? I imagine people complaining about using a lottery pick on a player at Lillard's position, but
    (a) he might well be BPA, and
    (b) the trend in the NBA seems to be to have two PGs on the court a lot, and
    (c) he's good at the things Lillard is weak on, and
    (d) If we were a good team, we would have players of that talent coming off the bench. After all, people are talking about going after Jarrett Jack, and he'd cost a lot more than a rookie.

    So we have a better chance to get the #11 pick than #1,2 or 3!

    And how does a black guy end up in Germany with the name of Schroder?

    Something tells me this would actually be perfect and lucky to not feel like we have to take Nerlens

    I'm not sure how you've come to this conclusion. Now, I haven't seen him play much, but from the video he looks like a less athletic Lillard.
    And it shows no defensive plays (Lillard's main weakness) so I'm not sure we need to waste a lottery pick on another PG.

    @DraftExpress: The last 10 years, the team who won the #1 overall pick was previously slated to draft: 4th, 8th, 5th, 3rd, 9th, 6th, 5th, 6th, 1st and 2nd

    Up (+4)
    Down (-3)
    Down (-2)
    Up (+6)
    Down (-3)
    Down (-1)
    Up (+1)
    Down (-5)
    Up (+1)

    Hmmm...based on that "pattern" (no successive "ups"), the winner of the #1 pick will not be ORL or CHA.

    I wouldn't mind. It seems Oladipo may be this year's Brandon Roy/Damian Lillard. I'd be happy with the Big O.

    Just spit balling here... but CLE got the #1pick the year after Bron left. NO got the #1 pick the year after CP left. My money's on ORL this year.

    1. ORL
    2. CLE
    3. POR

    The only other number besides 10 that I dont see in the top 10 is #7 ... Detroit could get a lot better a lot quicker
