To the home stretch we go! After losing in the finals, Miami could potentially be looking at a whole new roster. They have needs at basically every position, and need to get some youth somehow. As long as they have LeBron they won’t need a ton of help, but they have to give him something other than Chris Bosh. Realistically, they draft a big and walk away happy.
I fully expect this pick to be traded, as the Suns most likely won’t have room for a third rookie on the roster. They’ve reportedly been looking for a future first rounder, but at this point, they might take the best deal possible. If they do pick here, it could end up as a draft and stash. Though, we all apparently want to give them front court and wing depth.
The Clippers need a big man. Plain and simple. Their front court rotation last year was less then ideal, and Glen Davis is reportedly opting out of his deal, so they have DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin. Send help and fast. Any help. Really. Don’t let their only true backup big be Ryan Hollins, basketball gods.
Thunder here should go draft and stash, but you know what, maybe they don’t. At this point in the draft, all these teams could do anything. Maybe adding another shooter and scoring option is their best move, or potentially moving the pick. Lot of options down here for the Thunder.
The darlings of the league, the champions. The Spurs always seem to find solid players down here, whether it be someone who comes right away, or is a draft and stash. They could lose a couple key components of their well oiled machine this summer, so they could realistically pick someone at any position.
