    Alot of the mocks have us picking Harkless. Would you rather have Moe on this team or Royce? Both are possibilities at 16 or 18 if we don't end up trading all of our picks

    If not Harkless at 16/18, then Jared Cunningham (sleeper of entire Draft).

    Harkless is more of a legit SF and with better defense. White is stronger, and better playmaking ability. Neither have a consisten jump shot, but apparently Harkless has room to improve as many say his form isn't broken.

    Considering we would be looking at both to play the SF and we have Parsons there already I imagine we would take Harkless over White. Just pure speculation of course.

    Royce, 10 times out of 10.

    I watched St John's about 15-20 times this past year. Harkless has a lot of natural tools, but he needed another year so badly. I feel he's going to struggle to ever develop a competent perimeter game in the NBA, though he should contribute defensively. He played the 4 and the 5 on an undermanned Johnnies sqaud.

    White is special, and I think he's on the path of being okay with respect to his anxiety issues.

    This. And like Egghead said, White is special. Unlike some other players, he is ready to play now, and at a high level.

    Forget his position flexibility, just put him on the court and he makes things happen.

    Also feel pretty certain we can grab Harkless at 16 and White at 18.
