Following Potential 2018 Draftees

How many teams in draft history trade down from 21 for two picks in the 30's?

The Jazz dont need 3 draft picks this year. It's lunacy to trade down from a great slot to an average slot and a trash slot.

How about you list your top 30 and add in some tiers... I’m willing to bet that a few of those guys are available at 34 and 38...

It depends on how the draft shakes out but I’d consider it. I don’t see the prospect that could slide, but I’d have guessed that OG went top 15 last year. There isn’t anyone in the 12-17 range that I’m enamored with that I think could slide.

Guys like Okogie and Okobo are mocked anywhere from 15-16 to 30-40ish by somewhat reputable draft sites. If I can get two prospects I like it’s better than one.

I've listed my big board already....

Mocks dont matter until a few days before the draft, so I wouldnt reference mocks as justification for strategy at this point.
 
I would never trade down as a team. I just think it's a terrible strategy that bad teams do.

The history is a mixed bag... Nuggets landed Nurkic and Harris for McDermott a few years ago... they also lost out on DM. If you are smart and lucky it’s as viable as any strategy.
