Even if you are just looking for a solid contributor in the second round, you have your work cut out for you. Five years after the draft, second rounders are more likely to be sitting at home watching basketball on television than to be contributing to an NBA team: 30% of second rounders never played in an NBA game, while 68% are out of the league within five years.

Exactly
Which is why I think it would be a terrible idea to draft down, unless we were able to get a proven low-post player in return. All of the trade down scenarios I’ve seen so far involve us trading down for a guard. Which makes me wonder if anybody was actually paying attention to the Cleveland series.

My Apologies
I made this comment before reading Prada’s weekend thread. His was the first trade down scenario I’ve read that actually makes a little sense.
