Where would of Marcus Smart been drafted if he declared for the 2013 draft?

[Tr1boy]

1st? 3rd? 6th?

If you are the Cavs GM would you have taken Bennett over Smart still?

[hpantazo]

easily first, although hindsight is 20/20 and we now know how bad that draft class was

So if Bennett declared instead for this years draft and progressed as he should of, how high would he have gone?

[manl_lui]

easily top 3...

I remember last year's mock draft had Marcus Smart between 1-2

He would not have lasted past Orlando at #2.

Yeah, 1st if Cleveland had any sense, 2nd if they don't.

So Smart > Oliadipo?

I thought I read he was less regarded than Ben mclemore ... So i suspect he would have gone after mclemore.

10th at the earliest, possibly much later.  Last year's draft was horrible and Cleveland was stupid.

Yes

I remember him being regarded more highly than McLemore.  Early mocks had him going #2 after Noel. 

McLemore supposedly slid because of his personal issues.  He has a terrible family and he had an awful childhood which scared people away.

anybody else understand why Sac picked Stauskus 8th when Mclemore is suppose to be the future starting SG??

Is stauskus going to play the point??

I think its still a possibility to get Mclemore and multiple 1st picks for Rondo (and they can eat Wallace contract)

[Waew]

he was projected to be 1st cavs or 2nd orlando

I like to hope that Stauskus is coming here (they can send him at zero salary until he signs), and they're keeping Mclemore. And Ryan Lewis, I hope.
