You're not expressing an opinion on who could go best or who could go worst, you're making a decision on who will be best and who will be worst.

I just meant that's how wide the variance is on what people who have watched Jones closely project. It wouldn't be a total shock if he ended up being the best player in this draft. Few would be surprised if he ended up being the biggest bust.</p> Yes. I just meant that’s how wide the variance is on what people who have watched Jones closely project.

Either we take him or we trade for 2 of Houstons picks including the 12th and go for Leonard and Perry Jones, who now will slip a few spots with his knee issues. A starting five of: C - Leonard PF - Monroe SF - Perry Jones SG - Stuckey PG - Knight looks very good to me! If Drummond slips to 9 a lot of possibilities open up.

Houston is desperate for a center, and I just don't think Meyers Leonard is a suitable fill in if they miss out on Drummond. Their most likely back up plan is just take 3 players and stockpile assets. Morey has said multiple times his basic strategy is to add as many guys who have a shot to be good as possible to the team and see who pans out. Between that and with the depth of this draft in mind, why move up to 9 without getting Drummond? If Drummond is there, I doubt Dumars does the trade with Houston, so I just don't think Houston is a likely trade partner.
