BPA just makes sense. You end up with a glut of centres? Teams ALWAYS need a centre and you can trade for your needs. Pretty hard to try and pick positions for what you'll need 5 years down the road because circumstances always change.

If we're picking in the top 3, we shouldn't have to wait 5 years to see if they fill a need.
