Would you trade #11 for Bostons 21 & 22 picks?

We can all pretty much agree that the draft is a crapshoot and especially once you get to the later lottery picks. So with that thinking, would you trade that pick for both of Bostons in the 2nd third of the first round. With this draft being as deep as everyone is predicting there should still be decent value and you'd get two cracks at it instead of one.

It would be difficult to move down but if they are looking to add as many pieces as possible this might not be a bad move. I don't know if Boston would go for it but adding a Royce White and Moe Harkless with our pick at #6 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

No.

The dropoff from the prospects likely to be there at #11 to #21/22 is huge.

QUALITY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> QUANTITY

 

NOONONONONONONONONONO! Quality players!

 

I voted yes, but it really depends on what we do at #6.

 

I will take two of NIcholson, White, Taylor, Teague, Fournier, Jones over 1 of Leonard, Zeller, Soup Juggler, Rivers. This draft is deep, not top heavy

 

We could still get a special player at 11. There's really no guarantees in the 20s. What if we end up getting Drummond at 6 and Waiters at 11. That's a really good draft and could potentially be the best draft down the road when it's all said and done.

 

It's not a crapshoot. Look at the history of the draft and you'll see a strong correlation between talent and the picking order.

 

If you look at recent draft history, 21/22 would have paid out more for the team than 11

 

Would any GM take any of those players at #11? Nope. Not even close. There is a reason why these guys are slated from #18-ish to the end of the first round. Btw, Jones as in Terrence Jones? He'll be long gone before Boston picks.

This team needs a talent upgrade not more bench fodder.

 

I might very well do so.

We take Lilliard at #6, then pick the top shooter and rebounder at #21 & 22.

 

Leonard, Zeller, Soup Juggler and Rivers are all slated to be picked right around that spot

 

Really depends who is there at 21/22 and 11. If I thought we ended up with Royce/Wroten at 21/22 then i'd do it.

 

I'm talking about the your group of prospects.

 

I voted yes, but depends on what we do with 6, and who is there at 11, 21 and 22.

 

Nope. There are likely to be some high potential players at 11- waiters, maybe marshall... I am not too enamored of moving down when we desparately need an infusion of talent. Now, if we could somehow grab a late first pick using other assets- you have my attention.

 

I think Nicholson will be better than that batch of players mentioned. I'm just not convinced he'll fall to 21 or 22.

 

I don't think I'd trade because we really don't know what's going to happen on draft day. We have no idea who is going to slip and who could end up a reach. What if someone really good drops to 11? Paul Pierce dropped to 10th in 1998.

 

But how can you say my group of prospects, when those all of those guys are slotted in or around that slot in several mocks?

 

This team lacks talent from top-to-bottom outside LaMarcus and Batum.

Would you take either Nicholson or Teague or White at #11? Yeah, I wouldn't either.

Trading down for lesser prospects, and they are, makes no sense at all. There are no Faried's this late in the draft this year.

Factor in the roster, talent in that 20's area....

I rest my case.

 

I think the lack of talent overall on this roster is exactly why you might trade down, and get two Bs, instead of a B+. At 11, we're not missing out on one of those top 6 guys in the draft. You're grabbing a guy who could potentially have gone 7th, or who could go all the way down maybe at 18 or so. So with the lack of quality on our roster, needing to fill out 13 slots, drafting 2 guys a 21 and 22, IMO, gives us two prospects at who knows, maybe C+ ish or so, versus a B at 11, and a D filler end of bench guy(Chris Johnson type)
