I say:

Vonleh
Randle
Gary Harris
Aaron Gordon
Dario Saric

Then ugh.  You basically have to draft Randle 6th because he really is the best prospect at that point, as unattractive as it is to have another t-rex armed undersized PF.  Then it gets dicier, I like Gary Harris but I wouldn't be upset with Aaron Gordon.  I like Dario Saric a lot too, but I understand why people are luke warm on him.

I say Vonleh could be our center of the future. He has the body to put on a good 15 pounds of muscle maybe even get taller he could be a block machine and he still stretches the floor. Then at 10 I would probably have to say if Smart is available then him in a heart beat but its not likely. Probably Dario Saric ive watched him play a few times via youtube havent seen alot but I think he has a great all around game but I think he is underrated as a scorer and athlete. I think if we field a lineup of Rondo Bradley Green Sullinger Vonleh with Saric as our 6th man. We could be one of the most attractive free agent destinations in the nba come 2015 when maybe or more than likely we will be left with a core of sulliner vonleh saric bradley rondo olynk maybe fav different veterans to add fa agent pieces to plus we still have a boatload of assets to trade for or to even draft. The next 2 years could be a fun thing to see  if all goes well we should come out a contender for homecourt in the playoffs by 2015/2016

Its a very wierd draft. Extremely strong top 4, pretty weak 7-14, then very strong 20-30

Noah Vonleh, unless Danny gets a large offer for Rondo, then I could certainly get behind Marcus Smart.
*CB Miami Heat*
Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

Aaron Gordon. He has had a big part to Arizonas success.

Vonleh is my 2nd option. If Embiid, Wiggins, Parker stay for the draft they will go 123. Then its likely Vonleh due to potential/upside. Or Exum if a team really likes him and needs a pg.

5th best available then is Gordon imo

Smart has really dropped down the list. His FG is horrid, bad shot selection, OKU has been losing alot recently and him pushing the fan doesn't help.

Go with potential Vonleh. Randle just doesn't do it for me.

I think I'll take Randle over Vonleh and Gordon. But it is really close.

He reminds me of Antoine Walker, if Walker stayed in and around the paint. He has explosiveness in terms of making quick moves with the ball in his hands. He has good footwork, hands, uses angles to score. He has a good handle. Big time rebounder.

It's too bad he would play the same position as Sully. But i think Sully can still swing to the 5 for a few minutes, and Randle could swing to the 3 for a few minutes when matched up with a power 3.

I truly believe that we are going to win the draft lottery this year so there will be no reason to examine out pick at number 5. We have never had the number one pick and should have had it with Timmy D. but lost out. Our next highest had a tragic demise and we were robbed then too. We draft number one this season despite the odds!

Not sure about the draft.  We are good at PG and PF right now and if we land outside the top 3 (Embiid, Parker, Wiggins) we are staring at PF's and PG's.

We might have to take SG Gary Harris for no other reason than he fills a need instead of taking the best player.

If we take a PF that means Sullinger will have to be traded.  We could not keep KO, Sully, and a top 10 drafted PF long term on the books.  KO would be much cheaper long term than Sullinger.

Honestly unless we really gut the team before the deadline I see us with the 6-8th spot in the lottery.  Which does not give us a good chance to win it all.
