If Suns take Doncic, it's not out of the question Kings could cobsider Bagley. You could say he is potentially more dynamic and versatile on offense given skillset and college production, and has less questionmarks on D, being foremost a PF. Plus, he is younger.
Not saying he is going there, but don't think it is so out of the realm of possibility for it not to be considered.
Do you believe it’s going to happen? Of course it’s possible. But shouldn’t your draft board predict what’s most likely to take place? If there is a 20 percent (who knows) chance of something taking place, you would use that as a predictor over the 80 percent possiblity?
As far as your rationale. Bagley has more defensive holes than Ayton. Plus he is smaller and can’t shoot as well. I think Bagley has offensive upside, but not because of his play but the style of offense that he might play in. Ayton could be effective in many more styles than Bagley IMO.
I’d take Bagley third. But He could go 1 or 2, I just don’t think it will happen.
Guess that I don't see that much of difference between the two, as well as their chances to go #1-3.
Bagley has more holes if you plan on playing him as C. As PF, which imo is going to be his primary position (along playing C in small ball lineups and he should excell as C in that context) he has less questionmarks than Ayton playing C or PF (Bagley is better perimeter defender, and difference will be more apparent at NBA level, and what's funniest you can hardly call him worse rim protector than Ayton).
Offensively, Bagley offers much more ability off the dribble, and looks like better shooter. Imo, those are two important areas for big nowdays.[/quote
I agree with a lot. I think Ayton will be a better defender per position. Ayton shoots much better than Bagley. 62 pct free throws to 73 percent.
