Who are we drafting? Pick one player!

Here;s the thing though with Detroit.

If Detroit trades us the pick with the idea that we will take Walker, that's a big negative for Detroit if their hope in trading down is to grab Hendricks (if that's their preferred draft pick at 5), because taking Walker at 5 makes it more of a certainty that Hendricks goes at 7.

That's interesting. Yes, if Walker is off to board, it becomes likely the Pacers will take Hendricks. Maybe Detroit will do the deal contingent upon the Jazz not drafting Walker -- e.g., "Yes, we'll trade, but you can't take our guy."
