LaMelo Ball, G, Illawarra (Australia) New York Knicks potential trade up with CLE NY trades up for Ball |
|---|---|---|
| 2 |  |
James Wiseman, C, Memphis Washington Wizards lottery win up from 9 Don't be fooled by haters he is still the best big in this class |
| 3 |  |
Onyeka Okongwu, PF, USC Cleveland Cavaliers potential trade down with NY cavs also get pick 27 Cavs always wanted Okongwu or Hayes so trading down was worth the risk. Edwards and Okoro dont make as much sense as they really project more as avg outside shooters that need the ball to be effective much like KPJ who is a better shooter than both.Hayes has a damn good chance of going here, but there are rarely prospects with Okongwu's level of IQ at any positon outside of guard after one season of college dominance. |
| 4 |  |
Killian Hayes, G, Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany) Golden State Warriors lottery loss down from 1 Warriors could easily trade down or out here with Edwards Okoro etc still available and may take one to use at the 3, but neither are of the same caliber iq and win now ready unselfishness of Hayes who could easily be the 6th man on a contender and a starting guard elsewhere yr 1 |
| 5 |  |
Anthony Edwards, SF, Georgia Minnesota Timberwolves lottery loss pushed down from 3 Wolves will take Edwards here although I expect some within the org would want Halliburton to push DRuss to 6th man microwave |
| 6 |  |
Isaac Okoro, SG, Auburn Atlanta Hawks lottery loss pushed down from 4 Never know what ATL will do 1 minute they overvalue hype the next they overvalue a high floor.I'd say Okoro probably gets the nod |
| 7 |  |
Obi Toppin, F, Dayton Detroit Pistons lottery loss pushed down from 5 Gotta be a PG right? Cole or Halliburton make the most sense imo but I would not be surprised if they took Toppin with an eye on moving on from Blake and also the potential to use Obi as a 5 |
| 8 |  |
Chicago Bulls lottery loss pushed down from 7 mystery to me... is White the pg or not going forward? I think they take Halliburton here and let the chips fall where they may |
| 9 |  |
Charlotte Hornets lottery loss pushed down from 8 Cole or Maxey would be the typical MJ blueblood choice... but I think there is a really good chance this is where Isiah Stewart goes. Anyone knocking his ability as a defender must have missed the 7'6" wingspan. |
| 10 |  |
Tyrese Maxey, PG, Kentucky Phoenix Suns no movement via lottery Somebody will try to trade up for Vasell or opne of the high ceiling guards here... I think PHO sticks with the affinity for KY guards and takey Maxey . He doesn't project as a typical lead floor general but as a microwave has a high ceiling. |
| 11 |  |
San Antonio Spurs no movement via lottery I would think bpa pf could be in the mix esp if they see Deni as just that but is there another one really worth this spot?I think they draft Cole and take a high floor garbage man pf later |
| 12 |  |
Sacramento Kings no movement via lottery Not sure what the status is with Heild long term so Green or Vassel make a lot of sense here. I'm going Vasell and it's the steal of the lottery so far. |
| 13 |  |
Jalen Smith, C, Maryland New Orleans Pelicans no movement via lottery Might try to trade down to get him, but I think adding a bench stretch big like Smith with starter potential is a huge need to complete NO 4/5 rotation |
| 14 |  |
Deni Avdija, SG, Maccabi Tel Aviv Junior Team (Israel) Portland Trail Blazers no movement via lottery Portland could seriously look at adding a playmaker in the backcourt rotation but if Deni who has playmaking upside as a point forward is a huge get here for them and probably to hard to pass on. A sleeper here could be Nesmith but despite his elite outside shooting is an injury waiting to happen like half their front court. |
| 15 |  |
R.J. Hampton, G, New Zealand (New Zealand) His playmaking ability and the sixe to play on or off ball might be a good fit next to Fultz so I think Mannion gets the nod 50% of the time, However with Hampton still on the board I don't think they can pass on the baseline skillset and high upside. |
| 16 | |
Minnesota Timberwolves from Brooklyn via ATL Adding a pass first guard that can drain from deep to the rotation seems reasonable so Mannion makes sense, however I think thesize and versatility of Williams as a defender gets the job |
| 17 |  |
Boston Celtics from Memphis needs? maybe a trade out situation... I will go BPA here because of that |

Cassius Stanley, G, Duke Cleveland Cavaliers potential draft day trade from NY from L.A. Clippers Ton of upside extremely low floor . explosive meh IQ boom bust guard worth the pick here for Cavs |
| 28 |  |
probably the kid CLE should have just taken, as the safe pick, but is what he is a solid rotation guard with 2 way ability avg athleticism |

Nate Hinton, SF, Houston Cleveland Cavaliers from Philly for a future 2nd draft day potential trade Cavs get a steal rotation potential 2/3 with a lot of intanglibles for a prospect taken at 49 in any draft. not great at any one thing but has a decent bbiq above avg athleticism defensively getting steals and a decent developing shooting stroke. |

Cleveland Cavaliers fromPhil via L.A. Lakers via ORL .cle gives future 2nd draft day potential trade highest floor of any prospect left and a instant Delly replacement would be Payton Pritchard but I have them taking the slightly better athlete and all around prospect who by no means should be available here, but it is certainly possible given the depth of guards in this class. |

Naji Marshall, SF, Xavier New Orleans Pelicans from Milwaukee nba verson of mr irrelevant ... the guy who should have gone high 2nd |
Yaxel Lendeborg probably feels he's going to be a star in the NBA and could be if accepts a "star in his role" type of career.
