I'm back out on Kai, he might be good on his second contract but we'd basically be wasting the lottery pick on a guy who catches lobs and I'm sorry we can find plenty of those in free agency or trade. I now prefer Garuba at 11 (apparently can catch passes and pass the ball very well in the inside, like Okongwu), then Jackson, then Sengun (like him offensively but will get murdered on defense), then Kai (has tools but is years away from playing rotation minutes IMO)

Pick one of the following head to heads. You'll end with 10 players.
Moses Moody Vs James Bouknight III - Moody. The guy just fits today's NBA. Bouknight might be better, but IMHO both his median outcomes and floors are much lower than Moody.
Jonathan Kuminga Vs Keon Johnson - Kumignga. Ballhandling matters here. Easier path to get better.
Franz Wagner Vs Jalen Johnson - Wagner. Has an NBA skill and has a proven record of being able to play team ball.
Josh Giddey Vs Davion Mitchell - Neither? If I had to pick it would be Mitchell.
Kai Jones Vs Alperen Sengun - Kai. Both of these are high risk guys. Coinflip.
Isaiah Jackson Vs Usman Garuba - Garuba. I don't feel great about this call, but Garuba just seems like someone who will make it.
Corey Kispert Vs Trey Murphy III - Trey. Another coinflip.
Day'Ron Sharpe Vs Neemias Queta - no idea.
Ziaire Williams Vs Jaden Springer - no idea.
Chris Duarte Vs Cameron Thomas - Duarte. Cam just feels like his first few years will be very Monk like in the worst possible way.
Chales Bassey Vs Jericho Sims - no idea.

What a dork I am!!
I had Moses Moody Vs James Bouknight III in my original post, but I redid the post and accidentally omitted them - and they were the 1st pairing on my original post!!
Going back to my original post and editing it to add them. Hopefully the other posters above follow suit.
