Predict the Risers and Sliders

I think Hartenstein has the potential to go top 10 if he works out and interviews well. People are sleeping on him right now.

OG Anunoby's draft stock is all determined by his medical clearance. Could go either way.

If Miles Bridges measures 6'7+ I think he could be the biggest mover up, possibly right after the top tier of 4-5 guys.

It will be interesting to see where Giles ends up after private workouts. He obviously doesn't look like the player he was in HS, and he'll never get back up to the draft place many had him at to begin the year, but if he works out really well he could make a pretty serious jump...

I feel like Mikal Bridges has a good chance of moving up a few spots once workouts begin as well.

Ya think Mikal's coming out? I think he should stay a year and improve his stock. With Hart et al leaving, he should get a much bigger role in their offense, and adding muscle this offseason (which he needs to do) could really help him.

Certainly if he's smart he won't declare...but yeah, I meant if he does decide to come out and goes through workouts. Once workouts begin I think there is a chance a team would gamble on his development after about pick 17.

I really want OKC to take him if he declares, the more I look into him the more I like.

Well," rise and slide" is only in reference to mock drafts, since we can't see the NBA teams real big boards. Justin Jackson looks like Tayshaun Price deux to me, with 12-15 about right. That could be a rise or slide, depending on who has been predicting. Ball and Fox are very ball dominant, so team fit may be more of a factor than some others. Certain teams may not want a rookie ball dominant point guard if they see themselves in the near future trying to add many wins. The European/International players who get so few minutes are very tough to predict. Everybody wants Nowitski, but 98% of the time you get something very different. So both the mocks and the NBA team boards can be iffy. Josh Hart will most likely not be a star, and mocks have him 20-40.a huge swing, But he will very likely be an NBA off the bench contributor with a long career, so how is that valued? Smart teams , drafting later in round one seem to capture these type of players, supporting their already strong rosters.

Frank Ntilikina will most definitely rise if he performs well in workouts. His mix of seven foot wingspan, athleticism, defense, and playmaking will be hard for teams to resist.

In my world, from my perspective, I can't think of a good reason for any team to take Lonzo Ball over him.
