If you look at it--the 2nd round has some very nice prospects and with the salary cap and our roster--it might be imperative that we find guys who can play some minutes OR have the ability to play minutes. I think guys like Kevin Jones Odom Dreymond Green Joseph Buford et al--these are senior players with mature bodies and solid games who wont go round 1 but will be able to be acquired later who are too small or to slow for their positions--yet some of these guys end up being good NBA players. If I had my one pick in the later first round--Id take Cunningham--if you look more at his tapes--he can handle very well has good body control great athletic ability and would be a very long 1 guard if you can fully transition him there.(looks like a version of Westbrook)

I like Cunningham and DJO, or similiar NBA ready guys that can contribute 10-15 minutes right away.

I think the organization is probably preparing for both options for the arbitration as we speak, and I am pretty sure there will be a decision before the draft.
