     If the 76ers get Wiggins and maybe Dario at #10….they will be the OKC team of the future…

    C Noel potential Defensive dominant big man

    PF Dario Saric…a Dirk type not as good

    SF Wiggins…Dominique type of player

    SG Tony Wroten…very skilled

    PG MCW…a Penny Hardaway clone

    Agree with the sixers that is a good choice, I want to say the Orlando Magic will be the best with #4 and #12. If they select Exum and say Rodney Hood. They could have a lineup of Exum, Oladipo, Hood, Harris, and Vucevic, along with whomever they trade Afflalo for and Mo Harkless if he develops into a solid player for them. Rob Hennigan is a very talented evaluator and he is going to have the Magic on the right path very soon.

     If I had to pick 3 teams, which is much easier than 1 I would say

    76ers – Because Hinkie really knows what he is doing and they are stockpiled draft picks really quickly.  3 and 10 this year will go along way to giving them a pretty complete starting 5.

    Boston – Ainge has done the same, stock piled picks and I think those Brooklyn picks are going to be gold given their roster situation.

    Lakers – Because everybody hates them now, but they are the Lakers.  Of course they could strike out on every free agent the next few years Mark Cuban style and be as bad as the Cavs… without the guaranteed number 1 pick every year.

    I think the worst off will be the Cavs.  Because Gilbert is a moron.

    3 #1 picks and 2 from 4th slot.

    Kyrie is arguably the best player on any of the teams in the lottery add to that this year #1, a lot of cap room for the next few years, a lot of other picks still owed to them, and other young players who may reach near there ceilings.

    PG Kyrie-ceiling of best PG of this generation?/Better D.Rose
    SG Waiters- a healthy D-Wade
    Sf/Pf Bennett- Larry Johnson
    PF Tristan Thompson- already a 12 and 9, maybe 15 and 10 plus potential with really good below the rim defense

    ? which ever of the Big 3 they take- potential Franchise corner stone, most likely Embiid- maybe C of the next generation

    bench:

    C Zeller- solid backup C, who runs the floor and can pick and pop
    Sg/SF Karasev- Manu like 6man
    Sf Carrick Felix- lock down wing defender
    Pg Dellevedova- pesky backup defender/Derek Fisher like

    other assets: #33 pick this year, 3 picks next year and still have all there picks after that(none owed except Chicago has right to switch in 2015)

      which is almost funny with how much heat they get over there picks with none having played more than 3yrs and Waiters and Thompson actually producing pretty well. 12 and 9 and 16, 3 and 3 respectfully.

     Tough call. Cavs with Kyrie and Embiid look solid, and if they can lure LeBron then it’s no contest. Sixers have a chance to have MCW, Noel, Wiggins, and the 10th pick. If Orlando takes Exum to pair with Oladipo and a front court featuring Vucevic and Harris, they could be a player away. The Celtics and Lakers will figure out a way to bring in a big name via free agency or trade. The Suns have a lot of interesting young pieces as well.

    I am going to say(hope) the Bucks are the best,

    I think they play it smart and take Parker to play as the SF. I think Giannis will be a great defensive and creative player like Batum in Portland. This will be good for Knight who is a great scoring guard. I still think Sanders will sort it out and when Henson gets a shot will form a great defensive duo.

    Wolters will be a great role player and I think that Ersan does not stick around.

    T-Wolves! If they play this draft right they could end up with a core of Rubio, Gorgui, Bazz, Lavine/Young, Randle/Vonleh, Early/Hood and a few future lottos. I admittedly am pretty biased, but I still have hope that with the right combination of players around him and offensive improvements Rubio could be a top 10 pg, has a LONG way to go though.
