Following Potential 2018 Draftees

The Kings taking Bagley would cause chaos...

1. Suns- Ayton
2. Kings- Bagley
3. Mavs- Doncic (I think the Hawks would swap 3 for 5. Mavs are thirsty to get Doncic)
4. Bulls? - Bamba (someone probably trades for Bamba here, Chicago?)
5. Hawks- Young
6. Magic- Jackson Jr?
7. Grizzlies?- Wendell Carter? (they apparently like him)
8. Cavs- MPJ
9. Knicks- Knox
10. 76ers- Zhaire Smith
11. Hornets- SGA
12. Clippers- JRob
13. Clippers- Sexton or Williams?

It's conceivable the both of the Bridges are there at 14...

Michael Porter falls to 12, as concerns are mounting among teams in the lottery about his long-term outlook
 
My final big board top 30

Tier 1
1. C Deandre Ayton, Arizona
2. C/F Jaren Jackson Jr, Michigan St
3. C Mohamed Bamba, Texas

Tier 2
4. wing Luka Doncic, Real Madrid
5. C/F Wendell Carter, Duke
6. wing Mikal Bridges, Villanova
7. wing Zhaire Smith, Texas Tech
8. G Elie Okobo, Pau Orthez

Not in a tier
9. F Michael Porter Jr, Missouri (Due to continued medical questions I had trouble deciding where to place him. This spot felt the most comfortable to me. If healthy he would have been in tier 1)

Tier 3
10. F Marvin Bagley, Duke
11. G Trae Young, Oklahoma
12. wing Lonnie Walker, Miami
13. F Kevin Knox, Kentucky

Tier 4

15. F Miles Bridges, Michigan St
16. G Donte DiVincenzo, Villanova

27. wing Chandler Hutchison, Boise St
28. G Jevon Carter, West Virginia
29. wing Khyri Thomas, Creighton
30. C Mitchell Robinson, Chalmette High School
 
Whether we stay out, trade up, or trade down, I think we’re choosing between three players.

Kevin Huerter
Elie Okobo
Melvin Frazier

That’s my prediction. One of those three.

Troy Brown doesn't crack your top 30?
 
Random, but which guys in this year's draft remind y'all of each of the following?

-Kirk Snyder
-Morris Almond
-Andrei Kirilenko
 
Prediction: somehow, someway, Jazz trade for a early 2nd or late 1rst round pick. I think they think there is talent there that is typical mid-first round, so why not lock them into a cheap rookie contract?
