I'm confident Orlando won't go for Winslow at 5, they need shooting and frontcourt help and Porzingis fits that billing exactly. I'd be really happy if Hezonja or Johnson fell to us at 9 but I don't think it's likely to happen. WCS is the player most likely to slip to us at 9, but I hope we pass on him for Booker.

Can MKG and Johnson play together?
Count that baby and a foul!

Defensively? God yes, they'd be a dream team together. Offensively though? It would likely be rough for a few years. Johnson is an underrated shooter and MKG is improving but neither are going to be above average in the near future. Booker and Hezonja are definitely the best fits for us, but if it's a choice between Johnson and Booker at 9 I think I'd have to go with Johnson. His game is too multifaceted to pass up on.
