I think what I'll replay in my head is if I would have gone Gasol over Butler with my 1st pick. PG was taken right before me, but I really debated going with Gasol. He would have given me my two way big man and I would have needed to get my perimeter guy with my 2nd pick.
I think when I made my big board, there were just so many big men I liked compared to the perimeter guys I wanted to go after. So I figured at the least I could find my big man with the 2nd pick, but the wing market would have been dried up a bit. I really wanted Drummond, but no way he was making it to me in round 2.
I'm skeptical with Butler as my #1 too, but I think he can handle it. That or hope that Favors has a breakout year offensively. I won't need him to carry the defensive load because I'll have Bogut.
The only thing I thought about doing differently was selecting Danny Green in the 2nd round, then Rudy Gay and holding off on Nurkic. I still came out with KCP, but I didn't realize how long starting rim protectors would last in the draft (i.e. Hibbert), so i wanted to go ahead get mine early.
