What do you want your team to do in the draft?

For the Suns, I would want the following players for each of our 3 first round picks.

#4 Marquese Chriss

#13 Domantas Sabonis

#28 Timothe Luwawu

The Suns need to get athletic in the front court, something that both Chriss and Luwawu would provide instantly. Domantas give the Suns passing and low post scoring and may even get more playing time than Chriss in their first years in the league along with a high motor and bball IQ.

As a Wizards fan, I’d like us to just BE in the draft. I’m not hating on Markeiff Morris, as I think he has a chance to really contribute next year, but he alone was not worth trading out of this draft. This team as it’s currently composed is not good enough and does not have enough depth to contend in the East. We need better backup guards, as Wall and Beal have been consistently injured, and we need to find a successor to Nene, because he’s no longer a consistently productive player and I don’t think we should re-sign him. Having at least one pick would allow to at least attempt to address those issues. Even if it’s just picking up someone’s excess second round pick.

For the love of God, draft a decent wing. I prayed that Booker would fall to us in the last draft and openly stated so, and it almost happened. We probably would’ve traded him away too though…SMH.

I just want a wing. Be it Furkan, Bembry, Luwawu, or even Malachi. I would also like to see us grab Felder in the second round. If somehow they suspect and know Horford is leaving, begin the rebuild, acquire more draft picks by trading Teague and grab Yabusele as well.

I want a rebuild. Clearly this recipe isn’t working and I doubt we’ll able to sign a big time free agent or gain someone outstanding in a trade that makes me think this roster is worth keeping mostly in tact (Butler).

So ideally the line up would be something like this:

Schroeder, Korver, Luwawu, Millsap, Splitter (or someone else).

4. Dragan Bender

13. Korkmaz/Luwawu

28. Zubac or a stash C to eventually replace Chandler

Seen all of these guys play and they are the real deal. Luwawu is very underrated.

 Wolves- Trade the pick and Lavine (I’ll miss him) for Butler, and to sign Noah.

 I want my Suns to come away with Taurean Prince and one of Bolomboy/Siakam/Bentil with their later pick(s). I honestly am at a loss at #4…i feel like Bender/Chriss/Brown just have SO much bust potential..id almost rather they take Hield/Murray and deal Knight.

 At 29, they will take the best player available (or take a player they fell in love), they need a PG or a stretch 4 coming of the bench but I do think they will fill their needs this summer in free agency. As a french guy, I hope they will take Yabusele. He’s a very smart guy and not a typical one as he’s a beast in the paint and can shoot too, perhaps he will need to stay one more year in Europe in a better team and polish his defense but I won’t be surprised that he will shine in the summer league.

 I have no clue what I want the Lakers to do.  The obvious play is to take Brandon Ingram.  However, I would be open to them moving down a few spots depending on what they can get back.  How much do the Celtics value Brandon Ingram?  What could the Lakers net in return for moving up a spot?  This won’t happen, and I will be elated to have Ingram on the Lakers.  

I hope they land one of Damian Jones, Qi, Zimmerman (in that order) with the 32nd pick.  

I would also ideally like them to move into the first round somewhere in the 20’s to guarantee they get Jones or Qi.

Unfortunately they are pretty bare in regards to assets.  The few assets they do have wouldn’t be included in deals to move up into the 20’s.  

So, I guess to sum it up I would ultimately like for my team to draft Ingram, and then find a way to get Jones or Qi.

 Please draft Thon Maker!

 #1 draft Simmons

#24 young guard/wing  Luwawu or McCaw

#26 need talent/potential, take a chance on Maker

Deal Okafor and/or Noel- if the deal is right

Not opposed to Teague + for Noel, depending on what the sweeter is.  If Atlanta pick grab a C.  D. Stone

Okafor for a high lottery and a little something.  Get Murray or Dunn

Stone, Maker

Simmons, Saric(maybe),, Luwawu

Teague, Murray?

 Nuggets get whichever guard of Murray, Hield or Dunn(unlikely still there and least fit with Mudiay) at #7, and land Luwawu and a high potential player like Labissiere or Maker with their two late teen picks. 

I also wouldnt mind a trade-up scenario in which they can trade Gallo as I don’t see him being a great player for what the Nuggets need going forward. Give Gary Harris and perhaps Luwawu or Jaylen Brown more time on the wing and build young around Mudiay, Jokic, Nurkic and the new draft picks.

 Pistons.  Trade 18 for a veteran who can shoot.  Or Thon.  I think he will end up being a player.

Hope Hield, Bender, Chriss fall to us in that order at 9. If not, I’d just role the dice with Labisierre or trade out of the pick. At 27, really hoping for one of McCaw, Maker, Bembry, Felder, Diallo, Brice Johnson to be there at our pick which is likely.

 I want them to package Burke, and #12 for a legit vet, or some how figure out how to get Saric off of the 76ers, (I am so high on him at the moment)

Cavs – Trade our 2017 first rounder during draft night to Boston for picks #31 and #35. See if Thon Maker falls out of the first round (mocked 27th in this sites mock draft). I know he could go much higher but you never know. With the #35 pick, see if Hernangomez is there. Otherwise, go for Caris Levert if he’s available.

Maybe Philly would swap #24 and #26 for a late first in a better draft? That’d give us a better chance at getting those two players I mentioned (Maker and LeVert).

 lakers

take ingram at#2. We need a sf and a floor spacer and he gives us both.

at #32 we really could use a defensive center. Its possible we address that in free agency with guys like whiteside, biyombo or noah. but if we strike out in free agency, we will be hurting at center. jones, zimmerman, stone, zizic, zubac, maker would all be nice if any of them fell to 32. If not them, then hopefully someone else good falls like taureen prince, demetrious jackson or malik beasley. If all 9 of the guys i mentioned above are gone, then maybe gary payton or tyler uliss. We could use a backup pg to replace huertas.

 I would love to see my Jazz get a shooting big that can also protect the rim when he comes in for Gobert , Skal or Maker would be my choice. OR a wing that can be a knock down shooter, Korkmaz would be my choice, all 3 are upside picks , players the Jazz have the time to see develop.
