5. Dunn
6. Bender
7. Brown
8. Chriss

I could easily see him going behind these 8 guys.

I could see it I guess but I think it'd be a big mistake. His freshman year was better than Buddy's junior year. He didn't get much of an opportunity to be a primary ball handler and may have something additional to show there.

This just shows how this is an eye of the beholder draft and someone good could slip to our range... Or a range at which we could move up without a huge premium.
 
From an upside standpoint no player stood out more than Jones. At 6-11½ and 244 pounds with a 7-4 wingspan and elite leaping ability in space, Jones looked like a plug-and-play NBA big man. His head was at the rim on every dunk attempt, and he continued to rise after he had already dunked. Jones also shot well in drills and proved to be one of the most intriguing long-term prospects in attendance.

While Jones' production this season didn't always match his talent, he did a great job of reminding NBA executives how physically gifted he is. Considering he's only 20 and was a late bloomer in high school, it's not a stretch to say he has one of the highest ceilings of any big man in the draft.

Would much rather draft Jones than Skal or Maker.
 
Of all the guys in our range I think I'd be the most excited about Baldwin. I'm not sold on Exum and this guy seems like a great prospect. If both panned out it wouldn't be a problem at all because both guys can play together. I think he's the rare low floor high upside guy... Physically he's ready to go already.

Would you move up to get him? Milwaukee needs a PG and sit at #10
 
Giannis is their PG. They don't need one.

I probably wouldn't trade up but it depends on what it costs. Also you probably shouldn't draft for current need... I still think some teams do. Need should be a factor but you should project what you need 2 years down the road if prospects are rated similarly.

If Baldwin goes before us and skal or Davis go before us we can get either Ellenson, Chriss, Poetl or Brown... Without giving up assets... I'd prefer that route.
 
Baldwin would be a good fit on Milauwkee, I just don't see how they draft him over guys like Davis, Jones, Poetl, or Ellenson.
