1) Minnesota - Low Post Scoring - Jahil Okafor

This would be Towns. Interior Defense + all-around offense >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Low Post Scoring as a need.

well, for denver the BPA would be Stanley and not Mario

defense is the biggest need. not a streaky 3pt shooter

Porzingis is a top 5-10 pick but we need potential wing talent in Atlanta. Bazemore just isn't good enough. DMC has an expiring contract, Korver is 34 and Thabo is going to be out till December. With Walter Tavares coming on board next year, that should help us at the center position for depth. I want to wait till the workout to see who we need to draft. PF is just not a need for us. Scott and Muscala give us depth plus FA has a lot of depth at that position.

1 T'wolves - Towns (BPA - franchise center)
2 Knicks - Okafor (BPA - franchise post scorer)
3 76'ers - Russell (PGOTF - shoots better than Mudiay)
4 Lakers - Mudiay (PGOTF can combo if need be)
5 Magic - Hezonja (best shooting wing)
6 Kings - Porzingis (tough call with WCS, but go for shooting and spacing with Cousins)
7 Nuggets - WCS (defensive anchor - but needs to learn to score)
8 Detroit - Winslow (BPA - 2-way wing -- will also look at Lyles to replace Monroe -- will look at trades to add an asset)
9 Hornets - Johnson (not the shooter they want - but BPA -- wants Winslow from Detroit)
10 Heat - they'll offer to trade the pick with Wade and Bosh coming back -- BPA is Kaminsky, Oubre, Turner or Lyles
11 Pacers - Jerian Grant (4-year college player, backcourt depth that can contribute now)
12 Jazz - will offer to trade up to 9 for Johnson (versatile combo forward); if they stand pat, they'll take Portis (back-up big with some range) or Oubre
13 Suns - Oubre (best wing available)
14 Thunder (Payne - back-up PG and insurance for Westbrook)
