Unless a trade is pulled off, I think we landed right where Burke will go. The Lillard spot. Pretty much makes him the obvious pick because all the others should be gone by then.

I think Burke will go either 2 or 5
Pelicans will sign Dwight Howard and draft Trey Burke and we're gonna beat Miami in the finals
Funny thing is-- when we pick, one of the 3 best guys in this class will be there:
Burke
Oladipo
Porter
Lol the Bobcats always get the shaft. Hope we get Oladipo.
Noel is going to be the #1 pick. Mike Brown prides himself on defense.
Orlando is going to be the wildcard. I think they're going to go Burke.
if Burke isn't there I want CJ McCollum. No way we would ever take him though. I'm really not confident in Demps and Monty to pick BPA
I would love to draft McCollum if he is there. He has that perfect Lillard, Faried, Curry, Paul George, Granger small school feel to him.
Never discount the chance someone reaches on someone based on limited production like Waiters last year.
1. Cleveland - Nerlens Noel
2. Orlando - Trey Burke
3. Washington - Otto Porter
4. Charlotte - Ben McLemore
5. Phoenix Suns - Victor Oladipo
6. New Orleans Pelicans - ?????
I think Orlando is def taking Burke at #2. Sadly I must admit. If porter gets past #3 then I really think he will be there when we pick at 6. Unless the cavs take him at #1. Which I doubt they do. I think Noel is a lock to go 1 now. We are in a pretty solid position to draft tho. Not bad at all.
If that's the top 5, probably Carter-Williams or McCollum.
Edit to add: I completely forgot about Shabazz. He'd be a definite consideration.
