Following potential 2015 draftees

If we want to make the playoffs next year, draft Kaminsky.


I can see him coming in as our 3rd big and contributing right away with his passing & rebounding, but most of all, making wide open shots from all over the floor, creating spaces for Burks to score inside with that 2nd unit. By the end of next season Kaminsky should be fully integrated into our offense, hitting corner 3's regularly (something Booker couldn't do this year) and potentially blowing out teams early.


It's that 2nd unit that we need help with, I can see Kaminsky making a BIG impact there together with Burks coming back from injury.
 
As much as I like Kaminsky (& others') potential to contribute immediately, I don't think any of them will be enough to propel us into true contender status next year (even with the right FA acquisitions) & would be highly disappointed if one of our last valuable assets isn't used to acquire a player that projects into a starting caliber player. Sure, players like Winslow & Johnson could be potential starters on this roster, but neither project to become the type of #1 scoring option (like Hezonja projects to eventually become) that this team desperately lacks. It would be more of a long-term pick, but as well as the team has performed lately, it should still be focused on the long-term picture.

In 12.6 minutes which equals 13.8 ppg per 36, as a teenager against legitimate competition. His #s may not indicate a #1 scorer, but (imo) his skillset & athleticism make him the best bet to become that type of player outside of Russell.
