If Ainge wants to target a player like he did with Bill Walker and Leon Powe this seems to be the draft to do it.

Many teams have multiple picks

Memphis has two firsts and a high 2nd.

Minnesota has 3 firsts and two seconds.

In addition to their first Portland has a whopping 5 2nds. They could just pick 5 Euros and hope they get really lucky on just one

The Thunder has two firsts

Sacramento has two firsts and a high 2nd

Chicago has two firsts

Charlotte has a first and two seconds. Detroit does too

San Antonio has three 2nds

The Lakers have a first and two 2nds

Miami has 2 2nds

Yeah, the C's could definitely get in the mix on draft day. Should be interesting. Although I really don't want us to lode up on projects that can't crack the rotation. I imagine Pruitt might get dropped from the roster in favor of a new body.

Its amazing how the value of picks after #20 or so have fallen due to financial concerns over the past couple years.

Yeah but then the value picks up again once you get into the second round cause you get a player basically as good, but for a lot less money and more flexibility.  When you strike out on a first (Giddens?) it hurts a lot more than a 2nd (Pruitt)
