Not sure if that is correct,as think if we got the 7th seed (after play in) we’d pick later than them.
That said, ATL is up 26 in the 4th, and an ATL win definitely cements us keeping our pick.

Playoff teams are sorted by regular season record for the draft. Playoff outcome doesn't affect the draft order.

I didn't catch Texas this year but he definitely shows flashes of brilliance and some moments of whaaaaa, but that should be expected since he has only been playing basketball for 5 years.

He seems to have the right tools for a center. He is a rim protector, can switch in defense, he is athletic, he can catch lobs, he has good lateral quickness.
Why is Evan Mobley rated higher than him?
Evan Mobley has the aforementioned tools too but Kai Jones seems to me a bit quicker and more athletic.

Mobley is much more polished than Jones for sure and has been grooming himself for this moment for most of his life. If you watched the weakness part of the Kai Jones clip he has moments where he looks completely lost on both sides of the court. I do agree that Jones pops off the screen with his quickness and athleticism and looks to have more wiggle to his game than Mobley.

I didn't watch the whole video, so I didn't watch the weaknesses but I will do it later.
I don't have a stable opinion at the moment for these 2 players. I like Evan Mobley a lot too but from the little I saw Kai Jones seems impressive

I don't think the Warriors will have a chance at getting Mobley as he will be going 1,2 or 3 most likely.
