Following potential 2015 draftees

The Heat, needing to preserve flexibility after re-signing Goran Dragic and potentially Dwyane Wade this summer, are open to trading the 10th pick if it means unloading salary. (Josh McRoberts, for example, is owed $17 million over the next three years.) But with a pick that high in a deep draft, it's a gamble that likely will give Pat Riley pause. "It's a tricky balance," one longtime talent evaluator said. "You have to be careful you don't regret it looking back." Johnson or Frank Kaminsky could be in the mix for Miami there, as well as Sam Dekker and perhaps Willie Cauley-Stein. - Ken Berger, CBS

I would be willing to trade #12 for #10 and Josh McRoberts.

Then at #10 take Stanley Johnson.

That's not the question, though.

It's what will our own pick that year, plus GSW's, plus the add'l pick from trading this year's, net us in that year.. the collective tradable assets.

I feel worse and worse for being happy that OKC missed the playoffs :( They should have made it and we should have had their 2017 pick :\

Pick and Roll Points per-40 Minutes Adjusted for Pace

The proliferation of the pick and roll as staple of NBA offenses places a premium on the ability of a player to score in the two man game. The league's top guards score around a third of their points per game handling the ball in the pick and roll, albeit at varying levels of efficiency. As is the case with shot creation in general, the varying degree in the level of competition of our sample of draft prospects hampers our ability to make a real apples-to-apples comparison. Cameron Payne was outstanding in the OVC in both one-on-one and pick and roll situations, but was clearly in better position to create for himself against the less athletic competition he faced on a nightly basis. Even so, the per-minute productivity of our sample of prospects pales in comparison to that of the top NBA guards, as NBA teams fall back on high level shot creators far more frequently than their college counterparts. The number in parentheses is each player's points per possession as the ball handler in the pick and roll.

Top Prospect Leaders
Delon Wright 7.1 (0.92)
Cameron Payne 7 (0.94)
Joseph Young 6.4 (0.92)
D'Angelo Russell 6.3 (0.97)
Olivier Hanlan 5.7 (0.81)

We're talking stricly pick n roll, it doesn't matter who ran the pick n roll more.

Say Utah ran it 100 times with Delon Wright as the ball handler and they scored 95 points off of it, that's 0.95 points per possession as the ball handler in the pick n roll.

Now say Murray St. ran it 30 times with Cam Payne as the ball handler and they scored 28 points off of it, that's 0.93 points per possession as the ball handler.

I understand the numbers in parenthesis. They AREN"T the number to the left of them where Wright is #1. Per possession, Wright is NOT the best point statistically in college ball either in scoring or passing off of the pick and roll. He scored the most as the ball handler per 40 in the pick and roll in college ball last year. It is A stat, but not the Ultimate stat.
