Geez, NBAdraft.net (which isn't as dorky as it used to be) has Jaren Jackson up to #4 and Doncic at #6.
I love JJJ, but I'd take Doncic damn happily.

I think we need to talk more about Miles Bridges. I go back and forth on him, but he's been really, really good the last couple of weeks. No longer settling for so many bad looks. He's an exceptional athlete and looks as though he'll be able to do just about everything Jimmy Butler does offensively. He's putting up good numbers (18/7/3), comparable to what he did as a freshman last year. I think he goes top 10. He's shooting 36% from 3-pt on nearly 6 attempts per game. It would be great if he were an inch or two taller and had more wingspan, but the guy can really play.
I still think that the best course of action is to go back to having a bunch of guys that have good length and outside shooting that can switch all day. Get multiple two way players that can contribute even when they have an off night. I’m cool with getting some offensive minded guys to spread the floor, but they’re not going to outscore the Warriors or Rockets that way. Guys like Mikal Bridges would seem to be a perfect fit for that blueprint. I’d be really happy to get him.Mikal Bridges would be a really great fit next to Donovan, Dante, and Ingles. Outside shooting, length, and athleticism
