Poll aboard.

Towns, Russell, Okafor, Mudiay.

Mudiay may get picked fifth if the Lakers slide to 5 and the Magic get forth.

It's possible if somebody like Porzingis really impresses in a workout or if one of the big four has some bad workouts or (knock on wood) gets injured. Especially for the big men, an injury could sink their stock somewhat.

I could easily see Mudiay sliding since he can't shoot and there isn't as much hype for him. One of the wing prospects would probably have to jump him. I'd be surprised if someone took a risk with Porzingis over Mudiay though.

someone always does some ole random ****.

also depends on where some teams land. Like I doubt Orlando would take Russell or Mudiay so if they pick 3 or 4...then yeah someone will fall a bit

I'll be the first to vote for less than 20.
Mudiay is the only one that has any reasonable chance to fall out of the top 4. I don't think 5-10 is likely to do anything before the draft that could move them past Mudiay.

I could see one of the international guys getting in there depending on workouts but the other college guys are clearly a tier down as prospects.

Mudiay could slide for sure.

Some goofy GM is going to watch Hezonja dribbling around chairs and jumping over a guy standing still and overdraft him. Winslow also has some chance of pushing Mudiay.

It always happens, but I don't think it's that players slide, it's usually because players shoot up.

I think Stanley Johnson could possibly sneak into the top 4 if Russell has a bad combine or Mudiay doesn't impress in interviews/workouts. There's no way Okafor or Towns drop though, as long as they don't get injured.
