Far greater chance to improve via trade, trade exception, taxpayer MLE, and/or internal improvement. In that order. Even vet mins offer a more likely opportunity for immediate improvement than late picks in the draft. Seems to me you all are just kidding yourselves.
Marquis Chriss has the size, mobility, and 3-point range (sometimes) to give you hope. Any comparably capable player in this draft goes in the lotto.
Sorry to be a downer.
I think the more likely scenario is a team in the 10-20 range being willing to give up their current C after getting Williams. Atlanta, Indiana, and Houston all have picks in that range.
