Tank watch for the last ten days of the season

And notice all the guys you listed, Tatum was the highest pick at 3. It’s unlikely that the top-4 guys 3 become busts, but you never really know. I do think this draft is gonna have some studs coming out that are picked in the 10’s and 20’s.

Agreed.  Trading down for multiple picks would make some sense.  Personally, I'd also be fine with trading out of the draft for more of a known quantity.  Is there a RFA in 2027 whose team might not be able to afford them?  Anthony Black?  Cason Wallace?  There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Note that only 3 on the 2017 list were in the vaunted Top 8.  Remember all the talk that the Mav's were drafting 9th in an 8 player draft.  Most of that Top 8 turned out to be trash.  We have a Top 2 player from the 2018 draft on our roster currently making the minimum.  The surety of getting a sure-fire running mate for Flagg is not nearly as high as we'd like to think.
