Who ever it is will be a good player, but I just don't see a player that is going to be the cornerstone of a franchise. Better off to take a player at #6 and build from there IMO.
Tanev is just a guy. If he had been a drafted player instead of an out of nowhere undrafted guy he wouldn't be talked about. He's basically a rich man's Chris Butler. If that is what it takes to move from 6 to 1... then you do it every day of the week.
