My updated personal ranking

1.Doncic
2. Ayton
3. Bagley
4. Porter jr
5. Troy brown Jr

Short (relative to height) wingspan guys at 3-4.

We have the same guys at the Top 2 but still slightly leaning towards Ayton. Would love to have both in the team though.

I feel u 100%. Doncic and ayton are super close right now for me. I can't stop watching Ayton vids. He's my dream big man. He's a throwback guy. You don't see big men playing like him anymore. I love his jump shot, his footwork, can bang in the post with anyone. He's just too good

Only reason why Doncic gets the edge for me is because of his crazy court vision

Who's your top 5?

[JBreezeNY]

I keep hearing the hype about Bagley and every video I watch I'm not impressed.

Great rebounder, nice inside scoring, nice defense but is this a guy to build a franchise around or even be the #2 scorer?

He doesn't seem to move that fast, doesn't seem to be a great or even creative scorer, he plays in slow motion to be honest, I love that he uses his height and isn't scared of contact but I don't see this star that everybody be else sees.

I see a really good player

I'm sticking with Luka, do whatever it takes to get him.

[3toheadmelo]

The best bagley mix I can find
He's special

Watch on YouTube

The kid is no joke

What is a joke are the 5'9" high school kids trying to guard him

Even he knew it was too easy for him. He didn't want another year of beating up lil kids

I feel what you're saying for the most part. Most of his points are in the paint. I wanna see him shoot, create off the dribble. I read he shot around 60% from the line. Bleh. He does look really good though and has huge potential. I still got Doncic and Ayton ahead of him

[Marty McFly]

if by some miracle we land the first pick in the draft, Bagley is my guy. Doncic slides to the second spot.

It's going to be a fun season watching Duke Basketball this year.

Who's your top 5?

Porter and Bagley are at 3-4. Porter will have more flexibility as he has a better chance of being able to play effectively at SF while Bagley's wingspan will be too short for a C therefore restricting him as a PF.

Actually the worst team next season will surely get a potential franchise player regardless of lottery luck.

As of now it is #5 where things get interesting with guys like Bamba, Brown, Sexton, Knox and Bridges.

It's a shame that all the 9 players in the poll will be gone before we pick at 7

At this moment, Bridges is more of a consolation prize.

All we need to do is get into the top 4 now. Someone please take Melo.

Yeah I thought the same even for this years draft if we dropped to #10 (before he pulled out)

Espn just dropped their first mock and this is what they have for the first round

1. Michael Porter
2. Marvin Bagley
3. DeAndre Ayton
4. Luka Doncic
5. Robert Williams
6. Miles Bridges
7. Mohamed Bamba
8. Collin Sexton
9. Jaren Jackson
10. Wendell Carter
11. Trevon Duval
12. Bruce Brown
13. Lonnie Walker
14. Mitchell Robinson
15. Justin Jackson
16. Dzanan Musa
17. Troy Brown
18. Hamidou Diallo
19. Mikal Bridges
20. Chimezie Metu
21. Rodions Kurucs
22. Nick Richards
23. Shake Milton
24. Grayson Allen
25. Isaac Bonga
26. De'Anthony Melton
27. Austin Wiley
28. Tyus Battle
29. Brandon McCoy
30. Andrew Jones

I find it interesting they have Robert Williams and bridges ahead of sexton and bamba. Knox is missing from their mock for some reason also. I think the top 4 picks are going to be flipped around for most of the year

[Besart19]

Ntilikina

Kawhi

Porzingis


=> we need one stud via draft and another via FA or trade... Which one would be more suitable? I would love Doncic and Giannis

Sexton should be higher. Top 5-6 easily. Robert Williams and Bridges should be lower. As for Knox missing, I keep telling y'all Givony & Schmidt (now at ESPN) have some sort of issue with Knox since they were scouting him at DX. They seem to be rating/analyzing him harshly because they personally feel like he should be developing as a "4" while he, his pops and his camp are adamantly developing him as a tall versatile "3" and focusing on perimeter skills.

[2010]

Knox had been quoted as stating his goal is to be one & done so there is no rational reason why he shouldn't be in the first round of this mock.

[Spree2Houston]

The way I see the draft breaking out next year:

1) Bagley
2) Porter
3) Ayton
4) Sexton
5) Williams
6) Donic
7) Duval
8) Bridges

As long we finish in the top 8 we should be fine.

I almost forgot they went to ESPN. But yeah this is some bull. I seen people talking about it on twitter too. Knox is a easy lottery pick at the very least. This is a joke

DX which who this is, has no love for your man....
