Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else but I couldn't find anything. It's likely because there's still questions on where each pick lands and who makes/misses the playoffs, which is understandable. But lets say after the lottery is conducted that the Kings Pick is at #14 (which seems likely) and that's where we select. What prospect(s) do we like in that range? I honestly haven't really done my homework on who could be available in that range nor am I truly familiar with many names outside of the "obvious" top names for this Draft.

And if you want, maybe we can expand and discuss briefly who we could take at #19 (Clippers Pick) and between #21-23 (our own pick).

Yes, you take the best player available at that pick, but my preference would be to add another guard to potentially replace Rozier going forward, and another solid big to add to this front court. Are there guys in this Draft at those selection spots who can fill those roster areas?

Thanks guys!  ;D

My wish list is an active big and a pg capable of running the 2nd unit.  I could see us picking up someone like Tre Jones in the 20's.  I would also gamble on Bol Bol with the Sac pick.

I know we are flush with wings, but if the Griz pick is at 8 and Little is available, I think I would take him.

I think the Grizzlies Pick is Top-8 protected, meaning if it conveys, it would be at 9 or lower.

You are correct!  Meant to say 9.

Yep. And gambling on Bol Bol is an interesting thought with SAC Pick. I hope the Grizzlies pick doesn't convey though. Could be gold in 2020 or 2021.

Jontay Porter.  Skilled big with high Basketball IQ.  His athleticism is lacking, but he was very young his freshman year and had a high body fat % and lacked muscle.  That's fixable and he might not have physically matured yet.  Athleticism runs in his family.  Unfortunately, so do injuries.  If a medical staff approves him, he's my pick.

I've actually seen some mocks that have us taking the gamble on Porter. I wouldn't be against it. Coby White is another common name I see in mocks at #14.

We could gamble on Bol Bol at either pick #19 or #22. Hopefully he's not taken before then.

I don't know if we trade for Davis, but if we do I would try to keep our own pick and take a guard with it like White or Jones. Or if Porter's stock drops into the early 20s, take him there.

How is Jones? I haven't really heard about him.
