I would have taken Walker Kessler, then Malaki Branham, then AJ Griffin
I have Branham as the best shooter in the draft but I have AJ close behind him. Branham looks like another Jordan Poole, especially with his ball handling and quickness. GSW tend to draft players that can shoot and move well. Branham moves very well, AJ doesn't.
The only good thing about AJ is that he is built like a TE. I think he is listed at 230lbs. Has no problem in putting on pure muscle, but I do worry that will hurt his quickness, so a plus for that is that he can maybe play small ball PF like PJ Tucker.
AJ doesn't look as good as Gary Trent Jr., but hopefully he can develop into the same level player as Trent is now.
Kessler, the guy i wanted from the start, got 12/12 in his first NBA game. Griffin didn't get to play. I knew Walker was special and Hawks missed out on another no brainer home town kid. huhu
