They might be able to shuffle picks but I think they will be keeping or stashing the players picked.
The MBT-hating fatalist in me is uttering shrill cries that we're going to keep the pick, draft a bust who makes this year's Justin Jackson (note: 2018-19 JJ - remember, that guy who still had promise and confidence before RC threw it into his personal dumpster fire of young player mismanagement - would destroy 2019-20 JJ one-on-one) look like an All-Star, and by keeping the pick find ourselves not being able to trade for anyone of value and not getting anything except some leftover scrub whom we overpay with our MLE in FA, leading to on- and off-court disaster in 2020-21.
We have some decent hits in the draft in the Donnie era and some epic fails. Remember when Simba was going to be king.
