Dime Dropper
All-Star
Seeing the #20 and #27 get traded away is a little frustrating...I really hope Petrie can pull something off on draft day...something! It's been tough as a fan to see the past few summers treated as same ol' same ol' - draft pick/MLE/extension/late summer 'scrub' signing - when it was clear that rebuilding needed to start a while ago. Now's the time for action!
Unfortunately, I believe that the #12 is a risky/undesirable spot with potential busts like Randolph, Greene and roleplayers like Darrell Arthur...I see a lot more "safe bets" in the late teens/early 20s (excluding McGee, Jordan of course)...really wish we could add a pick in that range.
Hopefully, we can package our second rounders and a player or two for a second first round pick in the 18-25 range.
Seriously, don't get your hopes up. It's not worth it. Petrie never does anything on draft night, and I don't expect him to here. And if he does, I'd expect it to be very underwhelming eg. trading this years pick for a pick next year. Even if he does manage to trade up, I honestly think he'll take Alexander.
