Simple we take Battie with our 3rd pick, he is 6' 11", 235 lbs sure he will
get pushed around by NBA centers so we will play Dino at center, him at PF
and Walker at SF. The key now is where does the second pick fall if that's
the 4th or 5th pick and Foyle is still there, we take Foyle. Foyle needs to
learn to play against good competition so he is my choice for a center who
comes of the bench initially and if he shows some good skills will replace
Dino at the center spot in the starting rotation. Now what if Foyle is
already gone by the time we pick second, I would say pick the best player
available at that position, the draft scenario will become clearer after
couple of weeks with more uinder classmen making their anouncements to go
to NBA. - Mishra
