    I've been thinking about this for a while, but Philly is weird. They could easily just use them all on Eurostash players, so they might see no advantage in trading. Plus, it's not like they have an overcrowded roster. Still, if you offered them a future FIRST rounder, they might give up 2 or 3, although the last two are pretty worthless.

    Atlanta starts two all stars picked in the 2nd round. The list of active 2nd rounders is impressive enough. DeAndre Jordan, Dragic, Korver, Gasol, Ginobili, Milsapp, Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons...

    And the odds of finding a player of that level in the 2nd round are miniscule.

    Draymond Green, Lou Williams, Mo Williams, Isaiah Thomas, Trevor Ariza, Hassan Whiteside, Marcin Gortat, Danny Green, Khris Middleton, Patrick Beverly, Lance Stephenson, Jodie Meeks, Dujuan Blair, Patty Mills, Marcus Thornton, Omer Asik, Mario Chalmers, Glenn Davis, Josh McRoberts, Brandon Bass, Ersan Ilyasova...

    More, too.

    3 in that list were Blazers picks, no? McRoberts, Mills, and Asik.

    Over a ten year period, that is 3/10 or 30%. From this list alone. I'm probably missing guys the Blazers took in round 2 who are playing somewhere. Will Barton?

    You named a bunch of role players... not on the same level as Dragic/Jordan/Gasol

    Second round steals. I am sure there are first rounders drafted ahead of those guys who were outright busts.

    Like Marquis Teague. I'll leave it up to you to think of some of those busts.

    Will indeed. Whose option the Nuggets just picked up, making him restricted.

    You forgot Dante Cunningham and Jeff Ayres (who was Pendergraph when we had him). Also Kostas Papanickolaou and Marko Todorovic, who was named the top center in the Spanish League, over Ante Tomic, Willy Hernangomez, the immortal Fran Vazquez and others.

    I can't find the article but there was a blurb a few weeks ago that Jaiteh raised his stock during his workout with two teams: Memphis and Portland.

    Actually several of those players were better than Dragic. Draymond Green is the most obvious.

    This years 2nd round is loaded... I honestly think in 10 years, 5-7 players in this years 2nd round will be upper echelon role players with a couple reaching #2 status.

    that's debateable but the only one I would consider being better.

    My second sleeper: Moritz Wagner

    I think he'd be solid in a Korver type of role.

    Melton is my pick. Maybe the kid out of Marshall (Penvia?)
