The Lakers traded both Nance and Clarkson, took IT off of Cleveland's hands, and only got a late first-round pick for it. Not exactly evidence that first-round picks were available. The key piece in that trade is Nance.
I like this draft, but getting a rookie with the 25th or 26th pick isn't better than Jae Crowder playing the 4 in Quin's system.
