If that does happen, we have the best chance of moving up to #2, Everyone else would try and lowball Minnesota knowing that there's no way they're keeping Irving with Rubio and all the flak Kahn's gotten about drafting PG's.
 
Yeah, only Harrison Barnes and maybe Perry Jones would move into the top 5. I doubt Jared Sullinger would get any interest, maybe from the Cavs at 4 just for the hometown hero effect.
 
I think that we should do everything possible to get the #2 pick from Minny. #12+Millsap would be fair in my opnion.
Then we could have the #2 and #3. Draft both Williams and Knight which would give us a great lineup of Knight, Hayward, Williams, Favors and Al.

Sullinger would still be top 5. My guess is the 1-2 would still probably be about the same, as Williams was never worse than 3 on any mock draft before they all pulled out and Irving has pretty much always been the consensus 1. My guess would be (roughly):

1. Irving
2-3. Williams
2-3. Barnes
4-5. Sullinger
4-5. Jones
6. Kanter
7. Knight
8. Henson
9. T. Jones
10. Morris/Walker
 
GUARANTEE you Sullinger will not be in next year's Top 5 .. Maybe not Top 10 .. hell, maybe not even lottery .. but definitely not Top 5.
 
Irving/Motiejunas

No question about that combo or even Irving and Chris Singleton. Singleton may transition to the pros better at SF than Derrick Williams.
As long as Irving is not allowed to ride on motorcycle, he will be what Duke's other #1 PG Jay Williams was supposed to be.

He'll be in the lottery next year without a doubt unless he completely falls apart. But we're not talking about next year, we're talking about this year.

Givony, who we all know doesn't care for Kanter, now has him slotted at 2 for the first time ever. I am getting a little giddy for Derrick Williams...
The wildcard factor is they find a trading partner in the next 24 hours.

The new update with Williams at 3 is PERFECT, but I am stumped why we'd then get Singleton at 12, especially with Burk and others on the board

Yah I have a feeling Givony is going to be way off on some of these. Alec Burks passed on until 18???
 
I think DX is a bunch of goons. I think nbadraft.net typically has more accurate projections with respect to who teams like.

I'm not holding my breath. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

And if we go Williams at #3, there's no chance we go Singleton at #12. Zero.
 
I think KOC in the top 3 of the draft gives guys like Ford and Givony a huge head ache. When you have a GM that is so close to the vest and never really lets things out you are guessing just as much as the anyone on this board. It makes them look bad LOL
