1. Boston Celtics (via Brooklyn) - PG/SG Markelle Fultz: Celtics take the expected #1 in Fultz who’s size allows them to try at the 2 beside Isaiah, or eventually replace him
2. Los Angeles Lakers - SF Josh Jackson: I feel the tide has begun to turn against Ball for #2 pick and will continue to during workouts and the more LaVar speaks. Jackson’s athleticism and two way game will have appeal. They will try to play Ingram or Jackson at the 2 to make this lineup work
3. Phoenix Suns - PG Lonzo Ball: The Suns hope Ball can recreate some of that Nash magic in Phoenix beside Booker as the backcourt of the future, and can make a good fit passing the ball to some players like Chriss and Bender
4. Orlando Magic - SF Jayson Tatum: The Magic hope to get some needed offensive firepower from Tatum on the wing
5. New York Knicks - PG De’Aaron Fox: The big 4 of Fultz, Jackson, Ball and Tatum may become a top 5 with Fox based on his recent play, they get this athletic PG to pair with Porzingis
6. Philadelphia (from Sacramento) - PG/SG Malik Monk: Colangelo adds a shooter who can play off the ball at either guard position beside Simmons, Saric and Embiid
7. Sacramento (from Philadelphia) - PG Dennis Smith: Smith's athleticism and shooting makes a good fit for the rest of the Kings
8. Minnesota Timberwolves - SF/PF Jonathan Isaac: Isaac provides defensive potential for Thibs team and if Wiggins ends up being a SG long term they would be in search of a future SF
9. Sacramento (from New Orleans) - SF Miles Bridges: Bridges give the Kings a highly athletic and versatile wing
10. Dallas Mavericks - PF/C Lauri Markkanen: The Mavericks draft a shooting big man to learn Dirk’s tricks
11. Charlotte Hornets - PG/SG Frank Ntilikina: The Hornets hope Frank can be a versatile combo guard who can play with Kemba
12. Portland Trail Blazers - PF/C Harry Giles: The Blazers try and get a home run big to compliment their guards in the high pedigree Giles
13. Detroit Pistons - SF Justin Jackson: The Pistons add an experienced floor spacing wing to their roster
14. Chicago Bulls - SG Terrance Ferguson: The Bulls hope his athleticism and shooting can be a good compliment to their core
