Once again, we have no shot of getting WCS or others like Johnson, Winslow, or Dekker. So no need to discuss drafting them
Ainge can always trade up. I think trading up is the best option at this point. I think there is some really good talent at the tail end of the top 10 but a drop-off after that point. So I think this is a good year to try and make a push and move up into that top 10.
It will be extremely difficult to get into the top 3-5 picks but Ainge should be able to get into the 7-10 range where one of those guys (WCS, Johnson, Winslow) is likely to fall and be available.
While I think this is true to a point, if there really is a substantial drop-off, will a team really be willing to trade out of the top 10? I guess what I'm saying is not that Ainge can't make a trade, but that either it will be very costly, or the decreasing slope of ability/potential isn't really all that steep.
