Still having trouble widdling down the draft field and am here to ask for the forum’s expert insight. Out of these player groupings, who woud you take? What order will they actually go? Any other players that you’d like included in these groups? (my picks will be in parenthasese. I don’t have these playes seperated by much so take my picks with a grain of salt because they are subject to chage)

Jaren Jackson Jr, Michael Porter Jr (MPJ)

Khyri Evans, Landry Shamet, Lonnie Walker (Lonnie)

Zhaire Smith, Khyri Evans, Anfernee Simons (Khyri Evans or Simons if right situation)

Isaac Bonga, Elie Okobo, Tony Carr (Okobo)

Landry Shamet, Aaron Holiday, Anfernee Simons (Shamet, unless an ideal situation for developing Simons)

Kenrich Williams, Kevin Hervey, Justin Jackson (Hervey)

Kevin Huerter, Donte DiVincenzo, Jerome Robinson (Donte)

Jerome Robinson, Josh Okogie, Melvin Frazier (Robinson)

Shake Milton, Jevon Carter, Devonte Graham (Graham)

Gary Trent Jr, Troy Brown, Jerome Robinson (Robinson)

Wenyen Gabriel, Raymond Spalding, Kostas Antetokounpo (Gabriel)

Trevon Duvall, Deanthony Melton, Jalen Brunson (Melton)

Bruce Brown, Jacob Evans, Rawle Alkins (Brown)

Gary Clark, Raymond Spalding, Johnathan Williams (Clark)

Chandler Hutchison, Gary Trent Jr, Kevin Huerter (I’m torn on this one)

Kelan Martin, Bonzi Colson (Bonzi)

 1) MPJ — This was a toss up. Despite his back injury, I think MPJ has a higher floor than JJ. JJ, though, in my opinion, has one of the highest ceilings in the class. In the right situation, I think he could become a two-way force.

2) Lonnie — Kyhri has a high floor and could become a good 3-and-D guard. Shamet is a backup point at best. However, Lonnie’s upside places him over the two higher floor prospects here.

3) Khyri — Zhaire Smith’s rawness and lack of height scare me, despite his upside. Simmons is too unknown for me. I like Khyri, as you know what you’re gonna get.

4) Okobo — IMO both Bongo and Carr are overrated. Carr is only a 3-point threat and Bongo is slow. Okobo has good potential as a combo guard.

7) Donte — He’s one of my favorite players in the class. He’s a gamer, and I think he’ll be a good pro. IMO he has a better upside/floor ratio than Huerter and Robinson.

8) Okogie — He’s raw, but his length/athleticism/build excites me as a long-term prospect. I think Frazier and Robinson could be solid pros, too.

9) Carter — I don’t think Shake will be in the pros for long. Graham will be comparable in terms of impact to Carter, IMO, but his defensive presence makes him the pick over Graham.

10) Brown — I’m not huge on Trent, and Brown’s versatility on both ends places him above Robinson for me.

11) Gabriel — I don’t think Kostas will do much in the league, and Gabriel has decent stretch 4 potential IMO.

12) Brunson — The other two may have more upside, but I wouldn’t bet against Brunson.

15) Huerter — I like Hutchison but Huerter’s underrated ("sneaky") athleticism and 3-point shot make him the pick.
