I don't dislike these three guys at all, though I will admit I don't want Acuff here at all and have huge worries Wagler can take anyone off the dribble without a screen.
I just see some things in some of the other guys that I also like and feel like there are more ways to skin this cat. I think Chicago asked an interesting question the other day. It was posed as this guy and this guy at 9 + 30 or that guy and that guy at 12 and 17 (I may be slightly off). I found myself liking the second option, but the problem with that is there is no guarantee the second guy you want is going to be there. You might be able to guage who might be picked between 9 and whatever pick you traded down to. But, if it is a two pick deal like OKC or Charlotte, you need to have multiple people you like for the second pick.
I'm a little different. I see a lot of risk in the guys 10 - 16. I don't have a lot of interest in paying the price to pick there. But there are a bunch of guys I would like to take a flyer on that will be in the late teens to 20s range. I feel like that is the area Masai has done some of his best work and it won't be nearly as expensive to add an extra pick in that range. I also like trading for a pick when you know what is available so you don't have to play that guessing game.
