TP for the article.

Portis - better defender and his motor is fantastic.
RHJ - Higher upside and better defender. My binkie in the draft
Mickey - Elite shot blocker which we definitely need.
Vaughn - Scorer who has a better upside.
McCullough - Rare combination of rim protecting and shooting who can possibly become a power 3.
Rozier - Only because of fit in our team.
Jerian Grant - Nice compliment next to Marcus Smart and he's a little more explosive than Wright.
Alexander - Tough to choose as I like both but Alexander is a better shot blocker and rebounder with an higher ceiling due to age.

Lyles or Portis? Lyles for his better perimeter potential/skills

Anderson or RHJ? RHJ, younger and more athletic. Anderson should be a good defender RHJ should be a GREAT defener

Mickey or Richaun Holmes? Holmes, bigger and more skilled on offense

Vaughn vs Connaughton? Vaughn, younger with a natural position also was elite college scorer

Jonathan Holmes vs McCullough? McCullough, has a much higher ceiling due to age and physical profile.

Rozier or Powell? draw, I think both have a chance to make it as NBA bench players

Delon Wright or Jerian Grant? Grant, bigger stronger and more athletic

Harrell or Alexander? Harrell, he is 21 and Alexander is 19 but who ever drafts Alexander is hoping that in two years he is Harrell. Both will look to fill the Tristan Thompson/ Faried type hustle PF position though I think Harrell could be a better defender then either of those vets. 

Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

Ok, I'll take a crack,

Portis- I think he could be top 5 from this draft.  While his shooting is awkward it is good.  Super hard worker in a 6'11" frame and crazy efficient which at the end of the day is what you want.

Anderson-  Another super effort guy and those guys pan out more than just talent guys.  Plus he turned into a very good long range shooter.

Mickey-  Most because I don't know as much about Holmes but if I got Portis earlier I wouldn't still be in the market for either.

Holmes and McCullough are both busts imo.  If I had to choose McCullough seems like he might have more room to improve.  Toss up really.

Rozier v Powell-  Again, neither.

Wright or Grant-  I don't think either will be stars but Grant has the build to be a solid NBA player.  I'm not sure if he will be able to finish against NBA caliber talent though.

I skipped Vaughn v Connaughton-  I'm going to say Connaughton because I don't like drafting Vaughn where I think we'd need to be to get him while Connaughton could not get drafted at all due to his baseball prospects.  Connaughton is efficient which we need, Vaughn isn't.

Harrell or Alexander-  I don't see either of these guys making it.  Harrell probably sticks for his rookie deal.  Which guys are going to continue to improve is total guesswork.  I don't see it but I've certainly been wrong before.

Vaughn vs Connaughton?
Jonathan Holmes vs McCullough?
Rozier or Powell?
Delon Wright or Jerian Grant?
Harrell or Alexander?
Portis- better defender, ability to switch on different positions means a better system fit
RHJ- more upside
Mickey- more upside because he's younger
Vaughn- way higher upside, younger better individual scorer
McCullough- More upside
Rozier- Better defender
Grant- I guess I think he has a chance to be a much better shooter but I don't like either
Harrell- Better motor.

Tp for a great thread idea.

Good list. Nobody is really a fan of Wright it looks like but i think he will be a good pg. Especially if you can get him in the 20's. Has good size at 6'5 and can do a bit of everything. Improved shooter just not explosive and an older prospect.

Jonathan Holmes looks like a Jeff Green clone. Not as explosive(but decent) and can player either sf or pf. Could end up being a steal (late 1st, early 2nd). I guess i could of listed Holmes vs Martin also

Tp as well.
Portis -More gritty and better fit for the team chemistry.
RHJ - More upside and better defender.
Mickey - Went up against Tougher competition.
Vaughn - Seems better already and has upside.
McCullough - More upside would be lotto pick if healthy.
Rozier - Better fit for C's
Jerian Grant -He is better than Wright. But Wright at 28 is more value.
Alexander - More upside.

tp for the reply

What do you think of picking Connaughton with the 45th pick?  I know it was Vaughn vs Connaughton. But I guess you can look at Anderson vs Connaughton also (Anderson is a better prospect but....  In terms of being freak athletes, able to shoot threes. Connaughton bc of his physical tools is a solid defender but not as versatile or as good as Anderson.  Better rebounder though

I'd like a big at 45 but Pat is good value there. He is kind of maxed out as a player but he should be decent.

yeah. For example Alexander or Holmes if either last till 45.  But also could consider a euro draft and stash bc we can't add 4 rookies

I have a feeling the Celts like Connaughton. Can shoot the three, good defender and his explosiveness would be a nice addition
