I was thinking it would be helpful for fans of each team to post their team's needs for the draft to help putting mocks together.
Something like this?

For the Celtics:
1. Center with rim protection potential
2. SF that can get his own shot off
3. Taller combo guard

Bucks:
1. Point Guard - One than can shoot and is decent at the pick and roll
2. Center - One that plays a little defense, Monroe is terrible at protecting the rim

Well this is easy more or less,

Atlanta; swingmen
Boston; scoring SF/PF, C with rim protection
Brooklyn; PG, shooting swingmen
Charlotte; PF/C with star potential
Chicago; back-up PG, better rotation at the wings
Cleveland; SF/PF with defensive versatility
Dallas; bigs
Denver; SF/PF that can interchange with Gallinari, shooters
Detroit; back-up wings
Golden St.; potential Ezeli replacement, a combo-guard
Houston; back-up PG, PF floorspacer
Indiana; SF/PF that can interchange with George
LAC; back-up PG, starting SF
LAL; shooters at every position, ideally a SF
Memphis; potential Lee and Green replacements that are shooters
Miami; a PF to move Bosh to C, shooters
Milwaukee; PG is the biggest need, better shooters, a PF/C next to Giannis
Minnesota; PG/SG is the biggest need, likely a swingmen that can shoot and maybe move Wiggins to the PF in the future
New Orleans; SF/PF that can change positions, attack, space the floor and allow Davis to play C sometimes
New York; future PG, better depth
Orlando; rim protector, back-up PG
Philadelphia; better wings+shooters, depth
Phoenix; SF/PF that can interchange with Warren, shooters
Portland; SF/PF with star potential, C
Sacramento; starting caliber PG; floorspacer PF or another swingmen and move Casspi to the 4 permanently
San Antonio; future Ginobili replacement, defensive minded Guard
Toronto; future starting PF
Utah; PG, better depth at the wings
Washington; PF/C for the future, back-up PG

Sounds like Henry Ellenson would be a good selection for the Nuggets. Hield might fit well too. Wilson Chandler coming back will help but we can definitely use some youth at the SF position. I like Timothe Luwawu at the HOU pick.

Phoenix; SF/PF that can interchange with Warren, shooters

I would add "defenders"

New Orleans, I think, are going to go after pure shooters. This is Gentry-ball. Maybe they go after a defensive minded C, but I'm leaning towards shooters.

Pacers could theoretically go any position in this upcoming draft depending on value.

The Wolves biggest need is PF and shooters.

Wiggins to PF?

for charlotte

-starting defensive/rebounding center
-backup SF/SG
-backup PF

The Bucks biggest need is more scoring off the bench. They do not need a pg. And the owners have to have more patience. Parker and Giannis still need time to develop.

Know DEN will be looking at the PF position as well as SG and backup PG. But with DEN also look to go BPA talent can be moved for pieces.

Jazz need shooting and athleticism at the wing--e.g., Luwawu, Korkmaz, and might look at a skilled shooting big like Ellenson or possibly Maker, if they can play the 5.

For the hawks.
- a wing player that can penetrate.
-Big man depth in case Horford leaves.
- a backup PG for when they inevitably trade one of Teague/Schroeder.

Bulls - Backup PG, another wing defender, future C.

They need a 3D combo guard and a rim runner center. That would complete the starting lineup. Scoring off the bench is also needed but filling out the starting lineup with better role players is clearly priority #1.

Lakers

Need a defensive Center
A Defensive Wing/Guard

Like Asik?

Part of the reason their team was terrible this year was the decline in Asik's production. I still don't seem them using the sixth pick on a big though, they won't be able to pass up whichever one of Murray, Hield or Dunn is available.

Lakers:

3&D S.F (Ingram fills that nicely)
Agile center who can run the floor and is a good defender/jump shooter
