I’ll go with Keita Bates-Diop who isn’t even on this list :crazy:

Seems a bit high but he’s a strong defender, can score and has good size

Since I'm obsessed with getting a small forward and the most attractive one would be with length and some ball handling skills. Imagine having a small forward that can handle the ball along the lines of Murray. I'd like that.

Huerter or Hutchison was where I focused and I really like the idea of Hutchison. He has the added benefit of being a little older than most of the draft choices. (Yes, I am aware many prefer young. But Hutchison is a four year college player.)

KBD is Hutchinson with defense.

I voted Robert Williams. Clearly not a position of need but he’s easily the best player available and could be flipped later for better than #14 value.
