I am pretty curious to see what Casey could turn Drummond into as well.
Should be an interesting lottery tonight.

Yeah, it's going to be a crazy draft night. After Davis, the mocks are all over the place. I really think that 8 is a crappy place to be, right on the edge between second and third tier talent. Either trade up and grab MKG, Beal or Barnes, or trade down and double your value.
I sort of think Waiters might be a smokescreen... every GM talking him up, trying to sucker everyone else into taking him. If would be great for the Raptors if someone (other than them) took them in the upper half of the lottery.
Also, the possibility of Lowry moving is very interesting... he certainly thinks he's on the move, probably to Sacramento or Toronto or Orlando. I know lots of Raps fans are thinking Nash or bust, but if they can get Lowry plus a late lottery from Houston, it would be a better move than waiting on a 1-in-4 chance at Nash.
