    If the pick doesn't fall top 4, then I like the idea of trading back for Carter Bryant.

    There is something screaming 'untapped potential' about his game.
    Worst case he is a proto-typical 3nD swing man at 6'8, with fantastic instincts, on-ball defense and switchability.
    Flashes in his offensive game, and seems to have decent court-vision - real potential there IMO.

    They won't have 3 picks. At most it will be two and a good chance they only have the Clippers pick - they have the option to swap either it or the Rockets pick.

    There's no chance the Utah pick conveys. It's protected 1-10 and they are guaranteed a top 5 pick.

    The Philly pick is protected 1-6.
    37.2% it's 1-4.
    NO chance it's #5,
    8.6% chance it's 6
    54.2% chance it's 7-10.
    Have to see how the lottery balls fall on this one.

    The Clippers pick swap is unprotected.

    I want one of the big point guards (6'6"+) that shoot the lights out from 3. There's 3-4 of them in this draft.

    Yes, but the post was made 2 weeks ago. lol. Utah probably had the 3rd or 4th-worst(?) record, Philly had around the 7th-worst, and I think the Clips pick at the time was borderline-lottery. There was still possibility all 3 picks could've conveyed by the end of the season. Since Utah and Philly continued to suck (even worse), there's little chance the former's pick will convey and Morey will probably do his best not to let the Philly pick convey while the Clippers have played decently enough to not be a lottery team for the moment.
