A look to the future...
Just looking at the potential going forward, it is very exciting. Gordon is a great talent that we can build around. I really like the resigning of Landry. Now assuming we will have 2 pretty good draft picks next year, I think we should look to add a scorer with Gordon, and bolster the frontline with a young talented big man. This is a very solid draft class. Scorers like Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Lamb may be able to step in right away. There are some nice bigs, not necessarily true centers, but guys like Anthony Davis who will be good. Then I like Belli coming off the bench. I would say target a PG, but there isn't much after Austin Rivers and maybe Jordan Taylor late in the draft. However, next season is filled with quality point guards in FA. I assume Rose and Westbrook will be resigned, and Paul and D Will should have their own bidding wars. But we can still land a floor general with experience such as Ray Felton, Kirk Hinrich, Andre Miller, Beno Udrih. There are several others like Mo williams, Dragic, Randy Foye, Augustin, Jameer Nelson. We will have a lot of cap space most likely. I can honestly see this team being vry competitive in just 2 years time. Looking forward to the future!!

You always want a great big that can cover the basket, so Andre Drummond or Jared Sullinger should be the first pick.
The second pick should go after a franchise point guard.
Point taken
A good big man is much harder to find than a legit scorer. Most of the bigs in the NBA stick around because, well, they are just big. A big body to put in the middle. I could get on board with chasing the franchise PG, I just dont think this draft is as deep at that position as it is at others.
What I mean is, to be have a great team, you need a center that can cover the basket, i.e. defense.
Like DHoward. He’s not good on offense, but he covers the lane. Made them great. That first over a franchise PG.
There might not be a franchise PG in the upcoming draft. I agree. But a very good one might be available.
