Keldon Johnson is my guy just after Hunter.

I don't see why so many have DeAndre so far ahead of Keldon.

Gotta go with Cameron Reddish here. His measureables and talent make him the kind of player you take a flier on eighth overall, if you have a good team structure (like Atlanta would, for example).

Probably will be stuck mashing that Hayes button for a while. Clarke or Sekou would be next after him.

Hunter has a much clearer path to success than Keldon, who's 'okay' at a lot of things but isn't necessarily great at anything. Hunter projects as, at least, a + 3&D in the NBA who will be able to defend 2-4s and is a knock down jump shooter.

Would people actually draft Morant over RJ Barrett? The Grizzlies would be stupid to do that. Back to the topic. I voted for Reddish. He was bad in college but the kid is a talent and will get drafted higher than 8th.

For me, it's between Cam and Sekou, and I guess you go with Cam's natural talent and hope for the best.

I voted Brandon Clarke but if I was actually picking and the need supported it I'd go Bol Bol. Also, I strongly disagree with the order thus far, and I'd have to be somewhere in the teens before I took a flier on Reddish who will probably win this poll.

Keldon shoot .384 from three and was an outstanding defender.
