I like to think I'm pretty objective and not driven by emotion. Why i made this post in the first place. I was noticing the hype and was trying to educate in ways. Hype is hype and people have agendas. Shouldn't stop people from being positive though or negative. I'd rather be real and get to the truth.
That said I'd still possibly take Dragan Bender #1 overall. I just feel like building through the draft is our best option until I hear otherwise and I like Simmons a lot but not sold on him or anything. REasons to take him is he is the #1 rated guy as far as trade value having that guy etc. But the draft is not a perfect science. I also might not take him because he might just not be that guy or a fit here. I might like Bender better and would just do what I do regardless of what the masses say I should.
I have Bender as my #1 rated guy right now. It was that 2 months ago and I haven't see any reason to really change that. Simmons and him is a tough choice though.
Maybe look at swapping picks moving up or down etc and picking up other players. There are a ton of scenarios and it really all depends. If we can get Durant obviously you look at that. I just think realistically that is off on cloud 9 somewhere right now.
I think realistically my target this offseason is Dragan Bender. I think getting an 18 year old kid that can play in a lot of different areas would be really good. Simmons and Bender I keep going back and forth on though. I think bender is my guy though.
