What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Agree.
So let's play quantify.

In 2017 probably a borderline lottery pick, or package with our pick to move up to 10-12 range. Now I don't know if there would be any buyers in that range for him though. I think it will be hard to get into the lottery next year. Much harder than this year. Depends on how he plays this year. I don't want them to trade him this year though. Need to have him for wing depth. Right now we really have just Hayward and Hood that I like, although I think we see Exum/Hill on the court at the same time a lot this year.

Major props for a well thought out answer.
 
Well, we should have 2 better picks (compared to this year). If you are talking about what we had (#12) I hope we don't have a better pick (unless the GS Warriors implode). Chances are we have 2 picks starting in the late teens or even both in the 20's. In that draft, 2 picks in the 20's might be better than 1 pick at 12 this year though.



Our 2 first round picks (our own and GSW's) will be pretty late.
Our NYK pick should be pretty early in the second round. Followed by Detroit's second round pick and Golden State's second round pick. + our own second round pick. = 6 picks:

Total of 2 late firsts + an early second + a mid second + 2 late seconds.

Is that enough to move into the lottery? I'm not so sure.

Second round picks are about a valuable as pennies are in todays economy. Doubt they do anything to help them move into the lottery.
