    Man, it seems like the league has gotten so conservative with first round picks that no significant trades come down anymore.

    even injured and hobbled by missing a year, Cam would be a steal at 23

    Hmmm so Jaquez is gone now. Miller or Clowney one should fall to us I hope. Miller has the bigger upside imo.

    I don’t believe it but a buddy who is a Miami fan says they might trade their pick to Portland. I’m asking him how he knows.

    Whitmore will go #22. That’d be our luck.

    So what went wrong with Cam’s interviews and workouts? He looks devastated. GSW will get him.

    I don’t see how Whitmore could make it past Brooklyn.

    You might be right, but Embiid and Blake Griffin both missed a full year and had pretty good careers.

    Even if his career is set back, he wouldn't be drafted as a top-5 guy like he would (have probably) be(en) without an injury, so taking him at #23 seems to have a discount built in... so it's nothing but upside.

    He could be Harry Giles, of course, too, but that dude looked terrible (3.9 ppg, 3.8 rpg) in his only year at Duke after a major knee injury. And he still went #20 in the draft.
