I think either Ayton or Doncic. Doncic’s ceiling is pretty insane, as his playmaking in combination with his ability to get his shot off from all levels at 6’8” is crazy, and Ayton is one of the most impressive physical specimens in the NBA already as a teenager.

I voted Doncic because I like him more, but it’s a tossup betwene those two

Trade the 1st pick for the 3rd pick. Draft Doncic. Make Hawks fans depressed for the next decade.

beat me to it. ainge loves to acquire additional picks when he can. it is a brilliant tactic, part of a larger strategy to keep the team both young and affordable...plus more assets for more trades.

Don't know if he would draft him #1 or trade down to get him ala Tatum, but Doncic would end up being on the Celtics at the end of draft day.

Gotta be Ayton. I still wish we'd been able to trade some future picks to move up and grab our Center of the Future.

This upcoming draft has too many 3s. The only position we DONT need.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

 That really is w great call. He would have ended up with Luka plus two future firsts.

Wing is the only position that you can never have enough players on.

Ayton and it's not even close.  Ayton has the footwork, shot and athleticism of Olajuwon.

He most certainly does not have footwork to match The Dream, c’mon man.
