The thing is, you don't need to tank for guys like Kris Middelton, Jimmy Butler or even Kawhi Leonard. All those guys were picked later than where we'll be picking this year. All draft picks are a crap shoot, but the real key is having the scouting to improve your odds of getting a solid contributor no matter where you are picking.

Given that we have three first round picks this year, we have the potential to get the next Kawhi Leonard (15th), the next Jimmy Butler (30th) and the next Kris Middleton (39th) all in this one draft. It will never happen, but even if we only hit the jackpot on one of our first round picks, it will be a significant help - even if we make the playoffs and miss out on the lottery.

That's where having three first round picks helps, you increase your odds of hitting a home run.

And the odds of finding one of those guys in the draft is very well.

It's like this:

You have 20 bales with one consisting of a diamond. But you're only allowed to look through 2 bales.

The other option? Sell 2 of those bales for the diamond.
