    The two hardest players to slot for me are Zeller and Olynyk imo. I feel like Zeller could get pick early of fall at the end of the lottery with all the speculation going on. For Olynyk, I think he should go before 15. However, I don’t think he’s the right pick for teams picking before 15 aside from Philly and OKC. If they pass on him, he could fall out of the lottery

      I think Zeller in the 9-12 range most likely to either Minnesota or Portland, but it just feels weird putting him so low when it feels like he’s worthy of a higher pick.

      Olynyk seems to be falling, but how far is the question? I have him in Utah at #21 but Milwaukee, Atlanta, Utah, and a bunch of other teams could pick him up.

      Two other players I’m having a difficult time with are Lucas Nogueira and Rudy Gobert. Both have high ceilings, but are international players that are hard to mock as we haven’t seen them as much as the NCAA players. Right now I plugged them both into Atlanta’s 17/18 slots, though I don’t think that will happen. If we’re talking the two hardest picks to mock I think Atlanta’s two are as hard as any. Who knows what they’ll do on draft night? (If you have any sort of clue let me know, cause I’m stumped.)

    I think Olynyk and MCW will fall farther than most the other guys in this draft,partially due to team needs and partially due to their one major weakness holding them back

    Alex Len- New Orleans or Sacramento, no farther
    Trey Burke- Detroit, no doubt
    Cody Zeller- if not Sacramento, Portland then traded to Phoenix
    MCW- OKC
    Shabazz- Philadelphia, I think he’s moved back into the lottery
    Kelly Olynyk- I have him locked in to Boston at 16

    Alex Len = Before 5. I think Cleveland or Charlotte should pick him up.

    Trey Burke = Before 7. I think NO gets Marion and the 13th pick so they’ll take Burke at 6.

    Cody Zeller = Before 11. Someone in the top 10 will take him. I have Minny taking him, but Charlotte, Phoenix, New Orleans, and Portland all could take him.

    Michael Carter-Williams = Before 10. I have him in Detroit right now, but if he doesn’t go to Detroit, he’ll go after 10, most likely in the 13-15 range.

    Shabazz = After 13. I have him to Utah at #14 right now. I don’t think Utah should draft a PG in this class.

    Kelly Olynyk = After 15. Olynyk isn’t a lottery player in my eyes. Milwaukee could definitely pick him up at 15, but I have him falling to Utah’s other first rounder at #21. Anywhere in the 15-25 range sounds reasonable for Olynyk to me.

    Len 1-4 Charlotte is so weak in the front court that has to be both Len and Noels floor in this draft.

    Trey Burke 2 – 8 Potentially as High as the Magic and Detroit has to be the floor for him. he has already proved he can lead a team through post season.

    Zeller = 7-11 Cant see him dropping past Philly but more likely to go to Portland if they hold the pick and don’t trade to the Suns.

    Michael Carter Williams – High in my point guard list. I think top 10 perhaps Kings or Detroit.

    C J McCollum – Again Kings, Detroit or perhaps Minesota so 7- 9

    Shabazz – No invite to the Draft Green room is indicative that he is unlikely to go top 10. Perhaps Utah at 14 orThunder at 12.

    Olynyk – I like this guy but think 20+. His combine hurt him a lot not only in the measurements but his athleticism was poor. How can someone with Short Arms only Bench Press 5x and the guy cant jump so is going to struggle above the rim. That said he has the makings of a tweener 4/5 with good outside shooting skills

    Gobert – Dont be surprised if Atlanta does not pick and stash him in Europe for another year maybe 2.

    Adams – 10 – 21 – Only at 10 if the Blazers have a pre-agreed trade for him with perhaps the Suns. Otherwise I see Adams to Boston (16) or perhaps Chicago(20) with Utah nabbing him as a value pick if he gets to 21.

    McLemore – His workouts have hurt him not so much from the point of view of skill level as to attitude it seems. I am not sure where he goes because he is perhaps the best player in this draft but he needs to get better people around him it seems
