Tough call between Zach Collins, Mitchell, and OG. I went with Collins, but I wouldn't exactly be thrilled.

Best Player Available--Frank Ntilinkina PG
At 11- thats the pick
Why-Athletic Defensive minded 6'5"point guard-that can be paired with Kemba.
Film looks fanastic
Moves Nic to 3
With Lamb allows major rotations between 1-3 positions

That's my nightmare draft scenario.

I guess at that point I'd go with Zach Collins or Donovan Mitchell, but I wouldn't be super excited about it.

If we thought, after workouts, that Mitchell could play back up point I might lean towards him.

But I just like the intangibles that OG brings to the table - and our second unit.

This. Ntikilina can play off ball when he is on the court with Walker and run the second unit when he is out. Perfect situation for him to develop in.

Plus, I agree that Batum can slide to the 3 and 4 in the future with MKG playing the 3. Put Kaminsky at the 5 for small ball.

Ntikilina/Walker/Kidd-G/Batum/Kaminsky

Ntikilina/Walker/Batum/Kaminsky/Zeller

I really like that a lot.

*Facepalm*

Mitchell has good upside and fits a need. I'd take him. MJ falls in love and takes UNC's Justin Jackson though...

The links to the other discussions are appreciated, I especially found interesting the DSJ to Orlando landslide and the dead heat for the Knicks (FF 49% to MM 48%) at 8.

Most applicable though for us is the Kings' discussion at 10. While a silent majority picked LM, many within the thread seemed to think a wing will be a target (specifically OG or Jackson), especially if they get their PG at 5.

Makes sense given the amount they've invested in Bigs, and adding a 1 and 3 around Buddy is the likely goal. Plus, they have some history as far as bypassing talent for fit (or, at least, for Vivek crushes).

In this scenario we'd be all but guaranteed to take another big white dude, as the top options would be LM and ZC. Though I have a tough time seeing Markkanen falling that far, so maybe Ntilikina or Isaac could be the one to slide instead.

I call it the "omg we definitely should have tried to tank out the end of the season" scenario.

[Thaliontil]

I believe that Smith (or Ntilikina) will slide until our pick, but with these options available I would go with Zach Collins. Giles is too much of a risk and although I really like Justin Jackson, I don't think it's what this team needs right now (However, as i stated during the Madness, i can see Cho and Clifford loving him)

Ntilinka will be there at #11...Hornets will take the chance and we will make playoffs. H0ws that for a prediction?

:-? Ntilinka will be there at #11...Hornets will take the chance and we will make playoffs. H0ws that for a prediction?

I mean sure it's great and all.

But it has nothing to do with this thread
