Why Carter over other PGs in his range?

I think our management likes him.

Also that wasn't necessarily a "what I would do" idea. It's a "what I think Hammond will do" prediction

Understood.

I have a feeling management will deviate outside their norm this draft. Gut feeling.

My gut tells me 1 of 4 things happen:

We trade up and get Doncic

We take the kid that led the NCAA in assists

We take Bamba

We trade back for #12 & #13

all of which is predicated on JJJ not falling to us in which case I see us grabbing him and Magic fans around the world jumping up and down with glee!

Here's my draft prediction. 

We either trade up to 3 and draft one of Ayton/doncic/jackson or we stay at 6 and take bamba. we target Jevon Carter in the second if he's there at 35 or use both picks to trade up for him. We trade Fournier for Reggie Jackson as a 1-2 year bridge point guard to just give us something there that fits our general philosophy while we evaluate our options going forward. 

Why Reggie Jackson?

1. He's "meh" enough to actually be traded

2. 7'0 wingspan helps switching fits our philosophy

3. After 1 year he becomes a 18 million expiring contract with no options while Fournier would have a player option that he might exercise. 

4. Detroit's wings right now are Langston Galloway (a combo guard), Stanley Johnson, kennard, and Bullock. That's potentially zero starting quality wings this year. They're one of the few teams that could actually see Fournier as an upgrade. 

I approve of all of this to be honest.
