Not sure. Maybe Indiana takes him. Maybe a deal with Utah still happens.
I’m curious if Orlando would take Whitmore if he was there at 6 and I wonder what kind of offer we would put together for 6 if he was our guy. Houston could go Amen and Detroit could go Jarace.

Meanwhile, both his hands qre occupied turning his Gatorade bong business into a conglomerate... ha ha ha.
Actually GG feels like a Danny Qinge pick. Littery talent overlooked due to character issues. Ainge has grabbed a lot of big characters with both hands over the years. Players others just wouldn't bring in to the locker room. Marcus smart punched several fans not too far after Ron artest did. Lots of folks didn't want smart for that one reason, me included. Trade 28 for the first pick in the second round and grab GG with no guaranteed money plus a future second.
Maybe. The Jazz could also be looking at a deal with Orlando. Ostensibly, the Magic also like Gradey Dick. They may have cooled on Hendricks since he's a 4. Indiana could throw a wrench though and take Gradey at #7 before Orlando drafts at #9.
At this point, teams are deciding who their guy is. We want teams to fall in love with Gradey Dick and Taylor Hendricks, since both are likely available at 9.
Someone is going to need to babysit GG for the next 18 months. If the Jazz have the patience for it, he's a good pick.

Pacers have 3 late 1sts. Thise could be brokered or turned in to future picks / players. If I were Indiana and I wanted Dick and Hendricks, why not trade 3 late 1sts for a middle of the draft pick.
Would you trade 16 for for the 26, 29, and 32 picks? Take GG with the 32nd and flip the 28th and 29th picks for future firsts to teams hungry to get in the draft?

Not sure if this was posted anywhere but it was good enough to post again.
Andy Larsen tagged it. And I am a much bigger fan of Andy Larsen than Locke...

It pretty much breaks down this guys picks for the 2nd tier being Walker, Whitmore, and Scoot. Some compelling arguments.
I am even more bullish on trading up now than I was. Whitmore if you can. If not, Walker. If thats what you get from the draft, then it was a good draft imho (regardless of rhe 16th pick).
Orlando is expected to take Gradey at #11 if he's still available. If a team wants Gradey, they need to take him at 9 or 10, or they're taking their chances.
