First and, if no major injuries, last edition of my own draft mock for this year. Feel free to ask/comment Spoiler Stole design from nbadraft.net
We are not taking Grant. Morley is not going to waste our last decent pick on a low upside guard that wouldnt bring us anything in a trade.
4. If Kat, Okafor, Russell are gone I expect a trade. 14. If OKC takes Lyles here it's because they're either trading him or one of their other bigs. They need perimeter help. 18. We're not interested in Grant. 24. Only way Cleveland takes a big is if they are trading that pick. 26. Milutinov isn't a first rounder. And the Spurs are looking for a wing. 29. Justin Anderson will be gone somewhere between 16-26. Too many teams wanting wings.
Maybe, Morley LOL might not do that. On the other hand, he might take him a safe PG pick. If he doesn't, I could imagine him going for Looney as an "upside" pick. Not sure how much, Looney can improve though.
Agree, yet if not works-out I see them drafting WCS - they like him a lot. Not really, they would take BPA and since Kevin Durant may be gone after 15/16 season - he is the player who can play 3/4 and even see some time as 5 (small-ball - NBA future?) How come? We are.

Or they need a stash to preserve as much cap space as possible. Milutinov is pretty young, has potential and Tim Duncan retires soon. I can see Hernangomez/Gudaitis there instead of Nikola, but I guess it must be a stash. Maybe, when some players raise their stock - some players falls. That's what happened with him in my stock. GM's talk a lot, Mark Cuban f.e. was talking about team chemistry and how we don't have it - next week he signs Rajon Rondo and we all know how that end up...
