Hornets go Len or Porter over Zeller. Zeller isn't playing center in the league imo.

I just don't see the Bucks taking or needing a PF or Center....Not the way the roster sits today.

I think in order of need;

SG - 3 PT capable
SF - can contribute day 1
PG - in case we don't match Jennings

C - Sanders, Udoh both locked up for the next two years
PF - Ersan blocking Henson already

Good input. I think Zeller has shown he is more of a PF than a C so I agree JoeyH.
And I think Sanders-Adams could be one of the best defensive frontcourts in the league. Unfortunately where the Bucks will be drafting there will be little avenue for needs and they may be forced to go with upside/potential/value.

1. Cavaliers - Alex Len C/Maryland - the hype isn't a smokescreen. Cavaliers get a skilled center to pair w/ Irving.
2. Magic - Nerlens Noel C/Kentucky - Noel drops from #1, allowing Orlando to pair him w/ Vucevic for the future.
3. Wizards - Otto Porter SF/Georgetown - one of the most natural fits in the draft. Perfect fit at SF.
4. Bobcats - Anthony Bennett PF/UNLV - Charlotte needs to upgrade their front-court, get the best available PF here. Takes offensive pressure off MKG.
5. Suns - Victor Oladipo SG/Indiana - Phoenix is apparently in love with Oladipo & pair him w/ Dragic.
6. Pelicans - Trey Burke PG/Michigan - Vasquez is good but Burke may be the BPA and is a winner.
7. Kings - Michael Carter-Williams PG/Syracuse - athletic, distributing PG should fit well on the Kings current roster.
8. Pistons - Ben McLemore SG/Kansas - McLemore falls, Detroit goes BPA and pairs him w/ Knight & Stuckey.
9. Wolves - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope SG/Georgia - Wished McLemore would fall one more spot. Take KCP who seems like a blend of McLemore/Oladipo with 3 & D the Wolves need.
10. Blazers - Shabazz Muhammad SF/UCLA - Portland's 2nd unit is bad. Shabazz comes in as the SG/SF 6th man, scorer off the bench.
11. 76ers - Cody Zeller PF/Indiana - Philly needs frontcourt help, Zeller is a solid fit.
12. Thunder - Steven Adams C/Pitt - luxury pick, OKC takes a developmental big with great upside.
13. Mavericks - Sergey Karasev SG-SF/Russia- Assuming they don't trade the pick, Dallas stashes Karasev for a year or two.
14. Jazz - C.J. McCollum G/Lehigh - McCollum has a mini-slide but Utah hopes he can replicate Curry's success.
15. Bucks - Dennis Schroeder PG/Germany - prepared to let Jennings go, Bucks develop Schroeder behind Ellis.
16. Celtics - Kelly Olynyk C/Gonzaga - Boston can go in many directions, but they need a big and get the highly skilled Olynyk.
17. Hawks - Miles Plumlee F-C/Duke - Plumlee is a hard guy to mock, very athletic big who should fit well with the Hawks.
18. Hawks - Tony Mitchell F/North Texas - go for another athletic big who could end up replacing Smith.
19. Cavaliers - Giannis Adetokunbo SF/Greece - went to fill their C hole earlier, with their 2nd pick they go big upside and stash Adetokunbo for the next couple years.
20. Bulls - Tony Snell SG-SF/New Mexico - get a long, athletic wing who should be able to play either wing spot. Solid shooter and defender Thibs should love.
21. Jazz - Gorgui Dieng C/Louisville - Could lose Millsap & Jefferson, nab the high floor, experienced Dieng to play PF/C behind Favors & Kanter.
22. Nets - Ricardo Ledo G/Providence - Starts a run on guards, get one of the best scorers in the draft to develop behind Johnson.
23. Pacers - Shane Larkin PG/Miami - Take a super athletic PG to develop behind Hill.
24. Knicks - Isaiah Canaan PG/Murray State - Knicks need to solidify their PG spot, take Canaan to develop.
25. Clippers - Jamaal Franklin SG/San Diego St. - Franklin is a strong, all-around SG who should be solid from the get-go.
26. Wolves - Allen Crabbe SG/California - Wolves need shooting & get one of the best in the draft here.
27. Nuggets - Reggie Bullock SG-SF/North Carolina - Iguodala opted out, get a potential replacement in Bullock.
28. Spurs - Rudy Gobert C/France - Spurs like their foreign players, get a developmental big.
29. Thunder - Lucas Nogiera C/Brazil - Get another developmental center who they hope can come in and pair w/ Adams in a couple years.
30. Suns - Glen RIce Jr./D-league - go heavy on the wings, with the all-around Rice Jr, who should be NBA-ready.

No way Len goes #1.

It absolutely is a smokescreen.

For Cavaliers:
I hope you're right about #1.
#19 is an interesting pick in this scenario though because they want to win now. I think they resist the temptation to Eurostash (even if it is a higher upside player) and take Snell - who would be a great fit with their ball dominant guards.
