I would like to see the forum consensus on our 2014 and 2015 draft picks, particularly since they are currently taking up a third of our roster,, so what role do you predict for these guys this season and in 2-3 years:

Smart
Young
Rozier
Hunter
Mickey

 Smart and Rozier keepers.

 Mickey and Hunter to be continued.

 Young feed him to the Wolves.

I think a lot will depend on the direction of the team I think only 3 guys from that list will still be here regardless.
Smart or Rozier are traded.
Hunter or Young is traded.

I can see each having slightly bigger roles as far as minutes and production but no break outs because there are guys ahead of them still. Mickey has the biggest opportunity to add more right now.

Smart's defense alone will net him heavy rotation minutes. Idk if he's the starter in 2-3 years, but likely so since Bradley's contract is up then.

Rozier has potential be an above-average defender - which is enough to secure him a roster spot - I just don't necessarily know if it's on the C's.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter is cut this upcoming preseason. Same with James Young.

Mickey is still a bit of an unknown, but if his outside shot continues to develop, he'll probably have a roster spot still secured.

Hopefully Young has no role on this team moving forward.  What a colossal waste of time.

Smart
Young
Rozier

If I was to grade them on a combination of current skill and potential it would look like this:
Smart: B- (Size, Motor, Average athleticism, Strong defender, no real area of strength offensively, has an NBA role)
Rozier: C (Fastest guy on the floor, can play some defense)
Mickey C (Shot blockers who can hit midrange shots are never going to be irrelevant)
Hunter D (50:50 he'll be out of the league in two years)
Young D - (Young is valuable as a 15th man because he shows no desire to play meaningful minutes)
