if philly ends up with their pick and the lakers', monk won't be there. depending on where philly picks themselves they might go with monk.

I don't see it in this draft at our position. If we win a top 3 pick it's a different ball of wax but the only boom/bust guy that clearly stands out is Frank. He could be the best player in the draft or not amount to much. Workouts and interviews should be critical to determining who among the available players to go with. Getting a sense of players' disposition could be the difference between a great player and a not so good one.
Fortunately, by this criteria BPA will likely be a guard. I don't see the forwards/bigs being that much better that you would have to take one.

What if Bridges becomes better than Fox or Fox is better than J.Jackson? We did a good job picking KP and Willy so I'll ride with whoever we pick this time and hope we develop him into a good player.
Maybe Fultz and Ball are the two can't misses. Then there's the whole can they play in the triangle stuff that might influence who we take.
The thought of this really bothers me

At 6-8 range, only Laurie Markkanen is a true big. Isaac and Miles are more of 3s. I like Bam too but not with a top 8 pick.

Ok name a player in this draft that can take the center spot from Willy, than tell me who could take the PF spot from KP. Heck there's nobody in the FA that can take those positions. So it would be best to get some one to fit 1-3

What a stupid comment
During the Draft nobody knew if KP or Willy would be good, now all of a sudden , nobody in this draft can be better than them?

Now I might have different rankings but for a team like ours who needs everything and should assume that Anthony could waive his clause, we should go with BPA. In terms of need the only guy who Id question is Markennan but I could still dig it if we drafted him. Most of us can agree that without more strength KP is never gonna hit the next level, at that point he might be a C. Markannen would play PF. But thats why Im saying thats my worst case scenario. Probably not the best fit but still two pretty solid lotto bigs on the same team. But theres guys everywhere Id take.
Markkanen doesn't have the athleticism or footspeed to play PF in the NBA.

Always draft the best player available. Especially when every position is a position of need.
Yeah except when they were drafted Bowie was the BPA. Nobody saw Michael Jordan becoming the GOAT and in what was at the time a big man driven league the BPA between 2 comparable college talents was the big man. In fact the Bulls front office was disappointed at the time because they wanted Bowie.
That just simply isn't true. The Blazers had Drexler, who was already an All-Star. Bowie & Jordan we're pretty close as prospects. The tie breaker was the Blazers feeling they needed to fill a need. And the Rockets were even tempted to pick Jordan, but Hakeem was a can't miss pick for them, even though they had Ralph Sampson already at C. Jordan was also National Player of The Year, so it's not like he didn't appear to be a blue chip talent.
