No way Doncic falls to number 7.

And JJJ to number 8.

Kings won't draft bamba, they already have someone very similar.

With Doncic unwillingness to work out for teams, he could fall a bit, but I donâ€™t see Sexton being drafted before him.

Jackson seems to be rising, not falling in the draft, he wonâ€™t last that long.

my thoughts are Bamba could be seen as "raw" generational talent to some, and who's similar WCS? No way

Magic need a PG bad so that's why Sexton, most drafts have them getting Trae but Hawks seem to be high on him

Doncic i couldn't find a right fit, i think he's the 2nd most NBA ready player.

Where do you see JJJ going TBH I don't know too much about him

I think #1 Ayton, #2 JJJ, #3 Bamba, #4 Bagley, #5 Porter, #6 Doncic

Or

#1 Ayton, #2 JJJ, #3 Doncic, #4 Bagley, #5 Bamba, #6 Porter

Doncic is the 2nd most NBA ready player, and can play 1-4 but may slip because he can't workout for NBa teams because he is still in playoffs. But he won't slip past 6 at most.

I would say Doncic is too low, and Sexton is a bit too high, but he really is a wild card. I could see JJJ going around 8 mostly because of the talent level of the people ahead of him. On talent, it's a pretty solid lottery this season. If Doncic starts to slip like that fit won't matter though. Someone will trade up to get him.

I love Jackson. He's an elite defender that can switch on tonalmost anyone without it being a big mismatch. He can do it all on that end. Think Horford, Green or Millsap on that's end. I get the Bamba hype, but If I had to put money on which one willl be the better defender I go JJJ. He's an elite shot blocker and far more versatile wing defender. On offense, he didn't put up huge numbers, but the guy is a great athlete, he can run the floor, he can finish, and he has legitimate 3 point range. He's more of a project on that end, but he can come in day one and be a great role player next to a ball dominant guy that grows in to a great offensive player. I can't see him faking farther than 5 and I think letting him slip past 3 would be a bad idea.

Soxfan, I'd be giddy if Jackson fell to the Cavs. The guy has the chance to be the best bigman in this draft. He's going to be an absolute monster on the defensive end. He's an elite shot blocker that can lock guys down on the perimeter. Plus, he can come in and be a good role player on offense. He's a better shooter than any of the other bigs at the top of this draft. He's also a good finisher. You can plug him in on any playoff team and he can help them from day 1. Honestly, he's the perfect big for Boston to move up and get. He reminds me a lot of Horford.

if luka somehow makes it past memphis, dallas will trade the pick, but memphis could trade out too. porter and young before bagley is absurd. same goes for jackson 8th, if he hits 5th, dallas should be taking calls.

No way the Mavs let Doncic get passed them.
