If the Thunder are really after Mara how much of a gamble is the trade down?
You got 10 and 11 to navigate and have to project that neither the Bucks or Warriors take Burries/Flemings. Bucks been heavily linked with Ament and Warriors with Lendeborg. Do you gamble on it? If Burries/Flemings are there at #12, you take them, if not do you have a strong back-up plan like BPA (probably not a guard) and Okorie/Anderson/Stirtz at #17. Does it make the additional pick strategy more viable. You obtain another pick in the early 20s, and hope to get two of the three guards.
