Pretty much how i would LOVE for the draft to pan out. Moody and Bouknight are interchangeable for me.... but bouknight has been growing on me more and more.

Hope this is how it all end up. the draft can't come any sooner.

Cunningham will be good, but i am not certain his upside is as high as perceived.
Mobley should be mobile rim protector with some offensive skill which is very rare and valueable to build around.
Suggs leadership and toughness are hard to pass on, he also has nice pull up game and passing.
Barnes blend of length, athletecism and vision are great. Yes you need shooting, but teams also won with Draymonds and Iguodala's. i think Barnes is much more competetive than Simmons for exemple.
Giddey and Wagner are tall, skilled dudes. I dont know how Giddey will match up on defense, but his playmaking is real.
I prefer Bouknight over Green becouse of his fluidity and feel for the game.
Overall i could make a case for everyone 3-8. Sengun and Moody are propably in the same tier.

You are out of your mind if you think Green is the 8th best prospect in this draft.

No offense but you can't seriously predict, that the draft shakes out like that?

Therefore there need to be some leaks of Green sniffing coke or something else, no way he'll drop to 8, would be a miracle if he is available at 5.


Well the title says "Give me YOUR top 8", mock draft would be different. Same situation when we knew Ayton and Bagley would go before Doncic. I thought the gms were high but the intel was consistent.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !
