OOPS, I forgot to edit him back in when making my changes.  It's fixed. 

I figured it was just a mistake. I'd take Whitmore over Walker for the Pistons. I know, we're bad and we shouldn't draft on need, but the Pistons are over stuffed with Bigs and have basically no Wings on the roster. Give me Whitmore or Hendricks. I think Hendricks is more of a big wing than a traditional big.

Henderson with Ball would be interesting and not the easiest of fits to make it work....but possible. I think Miller is probably what they go with and the Hornets are missing a legitimate wing player.

 

Scoot is going to fall to Houston, no way Portland keeps that pick or takes Scoot.

I mean if Portland trades the pick, then Henderson will likely go to whoever makes the trade. Even if Portland ends up staying at #3, it would be stupid for them not to take Henderson. Take the best player available right there and then look to trade Lillard and recoup some additional picks. They have to make a decision on if they think they can build a championship caliber team with Lillard and if the answer is no, then trade him and start over with Henderson. 

Miller/Henderson may be close enough for some teams where the fit is the tiebreaker like for Charlotte. But if Portland stays at #3, who would they take over Henderson?
