Who to pick if the consensus 5 are taken?

Who do you think we will select if the consensus 5 are taken?:

Noel
McClemore
Porter
Burke
Oladipo

This only assumes this scenario and that we keep the pick to use at #6.

Edit: I know there may not be an official consensus, but it has been the majority opinion of the board that if we weren't in the top 5 that these would be the worst case (and highly probable) scenario for us- hence the question/poll.

Is there a consensus 5? I just looked at 2 different mocks and their top 5's are different.

One had Bennett #3 and the other had him #9.

I disagree with that consensus. I think it goes:
Cavs - Noel
Magic - McLemore
Wiz - Porter
Bees - Bennett
Suns - Oladipo
Pels - No idea

The Hornets won't take Burke with Kemba on the team.

In that scenario I'd take Bennett, can't he play 3?

I would take Shabazz Muhammad in this case. We need that scoring threat off of the bench who can play 25 mpg.

I see what you did there.

Well, the consensus on this board is that the five that annoy people to be gone are the ones I listed.

The Hornets won't be selecting until 2014 at the very least. ;)

I think we take Muhammad.

IMO Anthony Bennett will be best player available when we pick, but since we have AD and RYNO we are more likely to go with Shabazz

I know he's hated on this board for some reason, but I think Len would be a perfect fit next to Davis and Anderson. That's my pick.

This. There is no consensus. But those are three players everybody wants(Porter,Burke,Dipo) and the two players most likely to go number one(Noel, McClemore). I would be fine with Len or Bennett though I'm sure I'm in the minority on that.

bazz unless the front office thinks bennett can play the 3.

Dennis Schroder

Don't think Burke is a consensus 5

Beat me to it but I'm with you West!

Chad Ford top 5

1. Noel ( Cavs)

2. Burke (Magic)

3. Porter (Wizards)

4. McLemore (BobCats)

5. Oladipo (Suns)


Thoughts?

Note: ESPN only gave his top 5. I think you have to be an insider to get the rest.

I'd go with Bazz.

Ford had us taking Len.

I'm leaning towards Bazz in that particular scenario, followed closely by Zeller and Len (in that order).

Yes. He reminds me of a Shawn Marion level player, could fill in for Davis to give him a breather at PF (or if they slide him to C in situations) while logging a majority of minutes at SF. He doesn't have Marion's defense but I think the scoring and rebounding with the two will be similar. And yes I am talking Marion in his Phoenix days.

Convince the Hornets to take it.

Here's one trade I'd like: Gordon + 6th for MKG + S&T Henderson (10/3, final year partially or fully unguaranteed).

Gives us an additional nine million in cap space to play with. We'll have enough cap space to sign a maximum. We can go with CP3 or we can go with someone like Pek. If Rivers/MKG/Davis can get at or near their ceilings, we'll have a good chance of becoming a contender in the mold Monty wants (defense, defense, defense).

Why can't Bennet Play the SF position..
His the right height, and has a great body for this position and he can shoot, dribble and create shots i don't understand why the hell is he a PF?

He's the right height but he's too bulky to be a SF, likely. He'd have trouble defending quicker perimeter players.
