    Likely pick (assuming we keep it): KC-P (according to the rumor)
    Slipper: Shabazz Muhammad
    Dark horse (I'm assuming that this is an out-of-left-field suggestion for who we could possibly pick): Dieng! (Not just because I want us to, but because Ekpe Udoh was picked way higher than expected)
    Worst-case: Shabazz Muhammad

    Obviously, I misread the questions (or failed to read them) because I had the same answer for "slipper" and "worst-case". I think Muhammad WILL slip in the draft, but I don't think we'll take him. Player who I HOPE will slip? Len? I don't see any possibility of Oladipo or Len slipping really, so I don't know what to say. Having seen the picture of Noel's knee, I think he WILL slip (at least out of the top 3) but having seen the knee, I'm not hoping he slips all the way to us.

    I read the worst case the same as you. There always seems to be confusion with that term. I view it as ...at the very least we will get this player.....not as something I would absolutely hate, otherwise I would pick a player who is projected in the late 2nd round.

    Both of my second round targets have supposedly worked themselves into borderline first round picks. FUCK.

    Ledo & Reggie Bullock
