Acuff might be the smallest of the bunch, but he scares me a lot less than Wagler or Flemings, but I can see the Pacers argument. There is a pretty big drop off after the top 4 imho.
I think the pipedream would be to get Dybantsa or Wilson with Swain at #30 and Bradley at #48.
Bradley
Swain
Flagg
Wilson
Lively
They might not be able to shoot, but that´s probably the best Under 22 defense in the league by a WIDE margin.
Add
Irving/Nembhard
Christie/A. Simons
Thompson/Martin
Marshall/Bagley
Washington/Gafford
...and suddenly your biggest problem might be the expansion draft protections.
