    I think there is a good chance that Josh Jackson will end up being the best player in this draft ... only question is whether the Lakers or Boston get him ...

    I also think that there's a benefit of getting future picks from Philly

    I'm guessing Saric is involved in the deal.

    I could see Jackson end up being the best player in the draft, especially considering a two way wing/ small ball PF is probably the most valuable commodity in today's game.

    De'Aron Fox would like a word.

    I definitely think Fox is in the discussion

    Jackson and Fox appear to me to have the greatest compete in them in this draft ...

    Monk is a massive wild card to me

    Fultz is the surest bet in my opinion. No way he's not a 20+ scorer.

    Fox is good. Just a question if he will ever have a reliable jumper.

    1. Fultz
    2. Jackson
    3. Ball
    4. Fox

    Rest of the guys are kind of whatever to me. I don't know a lot about Dennis Smith. Same for the Florida State guy. Monk will be a good player. Tatum isn't anything special. I like Markannan's game, but he won't be able to defend well enough.

    Can we make this the Game of Thrones bored until the NBA starts back up next June?

    The NBA should consider making their season longer than 5 games and a possible expansion so there is more than 2 teams.

    Fox will make 10 times what Ball does over the course of their respective careers. He has cajones.

    Makes far too much sense for boston to go down a couple picks and possibly take the sixers pick from the upcoming year(s). I like fultz b/c he's a husky, but anyone who said simmons was a ? when he couldn't get his team to the ncaa as the #1 player in the nba draft, should have serious questions about how fultz only could get 9 wins at the college level.

    I'm aware he can't do everything on the court, but his leadership was questionable and that doesn't make me want to run to him or simmons after watching their respective teams in college. Ainge would be smart to get whomever is left at #3 and get the sixers first pick next year b/c we all know it will be in the lottery(if not top 5 again).

    From what I've heard Ainge probably isn't getting any of the Sixers native picks, probably getting next year's unprotected Lakers pick or the 2019 Sacramento pick.

    I think Fultz and Simmons together would be fascinating for exactly the reasons you described. Would be really chinteresting to see how they do teamed up given the nature of those criticisms.
