Wolves take Towns (easy choice for them)
Lakers take Okafor (no need for PG, love Clarkson, plus there the favs to land Rondo, + PG will be available at 27)
Philly take Russell (they need scoring bad, someone who can shoot the 3 ball and Russell will also do a great job of feeding the ball to Embiid and Noel)
Knicks take Mudiay ( easy selection, get the PG of the future in the draft, get Monroe in FA, 11m still left in cap, big improvement already)
Magic take Porzingis (might be the best player in the draft, love the fit next to Vucevic)
Kings take WCS (they need defense help down low, going to be fun watching him next to Cousins)
Nugs take Winslow (they said Galo is part of the future, he fits in very well next to him, they need help at SG/SF, love this pick)
Pistons take Stanley Johnson (believe he a better fit then Hezonja bc of his all around game)
Hornets take Hezonja (Hezonja gonna be a very good nba player, Hornets need shooting bad this would be a easy choice for them)
Heat take Booker (Need depth behind Wade + plus some scoring off the bench)
Pacers take Turner (Hibbert on his way out, Turner is the kind of player there looking for in a big)
Jazz take Kaminsky (he will fit in great with Favors and Gobert)
Suns take Upshaw (they need a big who can protect the rim, Upshaw potential is very high, they might look to trade down here, but this is a easy selection here, Bill Walton has been mentoring this kid hope he stays out of trouble)
Thunder take Payne (Need a PG behind Westbrook, Payne is the best PG on the board)
Hawks
Hawks take Dekker (Carroll prob. leaves in free agency leaving a whole at SF)
Celtics take Oubre (can't pass up on the potential in Oubre at 16)
Bucks take Looney (love this fit with Looney is he can reach his potential to go with Giannis and Parker)
Rockets take Jones (taking Jones over Grant here for Rockets bc of his ability to shoot, Rockets need PG help, Bev is a restricted free agent, Terry and Prig are there 2 PG right now with Bev out)
Wiz take Lyles (Wiz very happy Lyles is here, will fit in nice at the 4 bc of his ability to stretch the floor)
Raptors take Portis (think they go PF here, Portis is the clear best PF left on the board)
Mavs take Grant (with Rondo out Mavs gonna need a PG, not gonna spend big money to get one in free agency so they will address it here)
Bulls take RJ Hunter (easy selection here, think he ends up cracking starting lineup with Rose Butler Gasol Noah)
Blazkers take Harrell ( need depth at PF, also think he could thrive playing next to Aldridge)
Cavs take Anderson (Cavs need to improve the bench, love the the fit with Anderson toughness defense and can score)
Griz take Jefferson (they need depth at SF, love his defense, best player on the board)
Spurs take Wood (Project PF with some upside, Duncan as your mentor, doesn't get better then that)
Lakers take Vaughn (great scorer, kobe as a mentor, need depth behind Kobe)
Celtics take Martin (with Bass bring a free agent they get ther replacement here)
Nets take Wright (take the best player on the board, need to look to future at PG with D Will and Jack currently there, also could fill in if theres a injury)
GSW take De Paula (prob. look to go international here, stash overseas for a 1-2 years, high upside)

Blazers take Harrell or Christian Wood i think because Aldrige bolts in FA, Cavs might take Anderson, but in rotations he would still be behind Joe harris they drafted last year and even though they are good buddies, Harris will still be above Anderson in the rotation just like at UVA. Overall pretty good though, and I could see the Grizz taking Jefferson if anderson wasnt on the board and Jefferson would be the Grindson Incarnate of Tony Allen, but Grizz need some outside shooting in the worst way, Adams is good but he isnt better than Lee or Allen or Green so adding a non scoring wing to the bench would have to be a long term deal before he sees light. I actually think there will be a ton of trades in the draft, whether its after a player gets selected or after, I think this will be as eventful as the Celtics-Nets trade draft.

Im taking Harrell ethier way whether he stays or go, he would still fit well next to Leonard
I also agree with you think we see a good amount of trades
thinking about it more Love might not be returning next season so maybe they should go big with 1st rd pick, Jarrell Martin would be a nice fit for them
Griz can get Jefferson in the draft, and then sign a proven shooter like a Marco Belleneli in free agency

yea def. changing that Cavs pick to Martin
Griz still take Jefferon
Spurs now take Justin Anderson, too good of a value there, Belleneli is prob. gone, will Green get more money elsewhere, upgrade over Reggie Williams
Celtics now take Christian Wood

No way Upshaw goes in the 1st let alone the lottery, too big of character issues

the talent of Upshaw is too high, some team will take a chance on him in 1st rd
team like the Suns i think will trade back and take him
