Tanking is the main thing the format was setup to stop. You get good players at any pick. Drafting high doesn’t automatically make you better.

Griff probably didn't know of this potential rule change but it will still hang over the team.
Maybe we can swing a trade with the Hawks for #8 and #10 plus our pick back. We can throw the 2 2nd rounders back to them that they will ultimately get. Maybe we have to give them #26 instead of the two 2nd rounders.
Now we should be looking to move up from #26 or gain another pick with JRs contract. Maybe Dan will buy another 2nd rounder this year. We need to take our shots at players and not just hope the lotto God's will grant us another star.

Maybe this will change our draft strategy. Try for more shots than high picks. Tonight showed no reason to rely on lotto odd and tanking. I wouldn't be mad if we brought in 4 rookies this year if we can.

Browns will be going to the bowl.
Why do you sound offended.
But if you think business, big money business, is not a slimy world, then no use in me trying to persuade you.
Depending on who goes 4th (probably Culver) Darius Garland is a ridiculously exceptional shooter , Hunter is an exceptional wing defender, Doumbouya could be the next Giannis or Siakim, Reddish could flip the switch and be the next KD, Kevin Porter could be the next Dwane Wade, Goga Bitdatze could be the next Jokic, Herro could be the next Klay, Hayes could be the next Capella, Bol could be the next Gobert, Grant Williams could be the next Milsap, Hachimura could be the next Carmelo, Nas Little could be the next Jalen Brown, Brandon Clarke could be the next Noel, Bassey could be Loves replacement etc
Go look at recent drafts and you won't find much difference between the 2nd pick and the 5th pick. In many cases the 5th pick turned out better.
Who do you guys like at 5? I personally like Garland or White. Those are bigger PG's that could fit with Sexton. I am just not a huge fan of Culver or Hunter. Those are low upside players.

Agree 100%.
I have been a huge fan of Hachimura and I believe his ceiling is high. His game is still not polished yet as he did not start playing basketball at mid age and perfect to have Beilein as coach.

I feel like Garland is a unknown since he got hurt so early. I like what I see from White. I don't think Hunter has a low upside just because he is such a good shooter. I think Klay Thompson is his ceiling.
I'm with you on Culver, his game is ugly and I think there are better options. Hashimura is a real interesting prospect and he would be in play at #5 for me.

Sexton along with Shai and even Miles Bridges would comfortably be selected at 4 in this draft imo
