    Assuming we keep the pick (#43), what does everyone think we do with it?

    International stash pick?

    Since it's a guard-heavy draft, the mock drafts predict a lot of solid college big men will slip towards the end of the draft. Will we take one of those?

    I think we try to draft a rebounding big and a euro stash shooter.

    I predict we'll go after an undersized PF

    A big i.e. Jonathan Motley or a "big" i.e. Montrezl Harrell?

    At least one ready-made plug-and-play rotation player if not two. Especially if we move Bev, gotta get Mason.

    My Guys:
    Bell
    Ojelay
    Mason
    Bolden

    If those guys are gone trade down for future assets and lower second rounders and pick up Thornwell or Dotson late.

    Most likely an undersized PF and a Euro stash.

    Damyean Dotson if he's there. 6'6 SG who can play D and hit the open 3.

    FWIW, I really like Ojelay. If he can develop a more consistent jumpshot, he's a scary man.

    I like Dillon Brooks from Oregon (decent wing), Caleb Swanigan from Purdue (EDIT: 6-9 PF!!), Josh Hart from Nova (great 3&D guy), Sterling Brown from SMU (3&D guard/forward), and Frank Mason III (bulldog, clutch, mature PG).

    I really really like PJ Dozier from South Carolina though... should've gone to UNC or Michigan but stayed home. 20 year old sophomore. 6'6" with a 6'11" wingspan. Obviously, he can't shoot or he'd be going about 10-20 picks higher but that's a lot of upside to get that low in the draft... I feel like his developmental floor is Andre Roberson, which isn't a bad return for a 2nd rounder.

    Swanigan is a PF, not a C, FYI

    BPA and attach Harrell to a pick and move up if warranted.
