Phoenix, Dallas, Sacramento, and possibly Orlando are all ahead of us in the draft and have needs at point guard. Phoenix has two lottery picks right now and they will surely take one point guard with one of those picks. Dallas has a hole at point guard because they only have Rodrique Beaubois, Orlando has an aging Jameer Nelson, and Sacramento has a hole at point guard too with Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette and could use one next to Tyreke. Phoenix will take a point guard, Sacramento will take a point guard, and Dallas might take a point guard in my opinion, so one of the four of Burke, MCW, Smart, and McCollum will potentially fall to us baring we stay at #17. I don't really like McCollum as a point guard for this team because he is mostly a scorer but almost everybody has him projected in the lottery. Honestly, I would be really happy with Archie Goodwin/Victor Oladipo at #17 and Myck Kabongo at #24.
I don't think Phoenix takes a PG with their first pick. Dragic is pretty damn solid and its a stretch to think any of this years crop will turn out better. McCollum and Kabongo will probably be all that's left where the Jazz pick, I'm not really comfortable with either of them so, like you, would just rather take Goodwin (if there) or Oladipo who both have a pretty high ceiling.
