If ace is there you take him, I’d take him even if I was choosing between him and Tre and I’m a Tre guy. You just can’t pass on his upside. Also he’s refused everyone’s workout invitation.

Again, it’s not up to us, it’s the FO’s decision.

Why didn’t a number of teams take Cam Whitmore?

Yeah but if he had received a promise from us, and had accepted it, surely the least he could do is give us a workout?

You need to think strategically. If you’re the GM, trying to get a player to drop two spots without, say, taking on the worst contract in the league, a couple things have to go right:

—You have to piss Philadelphia and Charlotte off enough that they skip your target player in the draft.
—You have to make teams below you not make a deal with Philadelphia or Charlotte.

Skipping all workouts, cancelling on Philly at the last minute - good way to piss Morey off.

Windhorst (who Ainge has a cozy relationship with) makes “teams souring on Ace” a subject of national conversation. DraftExpress says Ace passed on Utah - exactly what you’d want the teams below you to think.

I’m just saying - something fishy is going on and I would not be shocked at all if Ainge were behind it. This is how he moves.

Wow.

That would be AMAZING if true.
 
If Ace is off the board though that means Tre is most likely available. If Tre goes three then Edgecombe is available at 5 and we'll take either over the three guys you listed.
