I personally have a lot of faith in Kyrie to do well enough and Ryan is a decent enough backup floor gen so if we can snag anyone at 9 that we can be happy with I am all for it but if the risk of bust is too high you start to think outside the position of need as a criteria for selection and you go after the best player available and that could be a major find too and hopefully someone who is not likely to be a bust because he does not check all the boxes.
Dropping down might make more sense to me and a PG can be found later on who might be strong in a few areas that count. If you want a PG w\ size our 30th pick targeting Sergio de Larrea would be a nice gamble to take. That would open up 12 and 17 for other needs if we get a deal done w OKC.
With more picks comes greater odds we find players that fit well and produce results. I really think there is not a lot of difference between 9 and 12 so trading down is a good idea if it can get you an extra pick.
