    If we had a mid lottery would you want to trade it for 2 non lottery picks?

    Depends on the team, man. If i'm a team like SAC or DAL or DET, and I'm devoid of any talent altogether, I'd like more shots on goal. Especially if I'm not top 3.

    This is a really interesting debate to me. This draft is both top heavy and seems like there's some talent in the late lotto/mid first that can blossom albeit with a lower ceiling. Depends on our scouting. I really hope Neil is being thorough. Make sure he has the whole draft down and not just the range of each of his picks.

    Is there anyone in the 6-10 range that would help our roster though? or can those picks be packaged for a role player from another team?

    I'd be down to try to trade Harkless and 26 and see how high it gets us.

    The 'bigger market theory' was almost perfect in predicting the outcome. It may not have had anything to do with it but it was almost spot on.

    I like Moe's contract too much for me to just throw him in to move up a few spots.

    that seems too good to be true. Although there was once a team that traded the right to pick Chris Paul for a 6th and 27th pick.

    Players of note drafted between 15-20 in the past 6 drafts:

    2016: Hernangomez (15), LeVert (20)
    2015: Oubre (15), Dekker (18)
    2014: Nurkic (16), Gary Harris (19)
    2013: Giannis (15), Schroder (17)
    2012: Harkless (15), T Zeller (17), Fournier (20)
    2011: Kawhi (15), Vucevic (16), Shumpert (17), Tobias Harris (19), Motiejunas (20)

    Some solid talent and two superstars have been drafted in our range.

    "Shudders" might be a better name than "Butters"
