'My reading of the tea leaves is that the Hornets have wanted (Brandon) Miller the whole time but need to keep some uncertainty on the table in case they can persuade somebody who wants Scoot Henderson to trade up with them,' writes johnhollinger. More:
have had little to no fear in drafting medical cases, which makes them a logical landing spot for Whitehead with one of their two picks. He was one of the most highly rated players coming out of high school but has had two foot surgeries in the last year. Both were done by Dr. Martin O’Malley … who also serves as team orthopedist to the Nets.
The Nets could also look to package Nos. 21 and 22 to move up but would likely get diminishing returns from a move into, say, the low teens. Their cap situation is also an argument for adding two low-cost contacts rather than one, helping them manage the luxury tax while they bide their time in post-James-Harden purgatory.Same song, different verse.
I talked about Brooklyn packaging its two picks to move up, but the other option for the Nets would be to pick at No. 21 and then trade No. 22 to a playoff team for a future first. I expect Brooklyn’s phones to be busy on draft night.Portland’s history is that it will take the absolute biggest swing possible, but the potential for Dame Drama may tilt the Blazers a bit more toward practicality with this pick.
