I don't mind it either. Given what Adelman keeps preaching, assuming we even keep the pick, at 9 I want KCP. I think they should only target a SG. If we somehow pick lower than that, I'd entertain the idea of Gorgui Dieng to be our defensive third big.
KCP at 9 and a C at 26 is where I'd go. Withey, Nogueira, Muscala, whatever works. If they want another shooter, fine, but then we trade Malcolm Lee and Williams together. Reggie Bullock, Glen Rice Jr., Allen Crabbe (not a fan of Crabbe though), suitable options.
All I know is that one of the things that bothered me about Flip/McHale is that it seemed like the only things they watched were Big 10 games while the scouts did whatever. Flip supposedly LOVES--as in-- he'll do whatever it takes to go get Victor Oladipo. My fear is that he takes Trey Burke or Cody Zeller because that's all he watched.
