My main preference would be either McLemore or Oladipo. My birthday is actually this Thursday so hopefully it brings some kind of luck.

McCollum would be my 2nd choice after Oladipo, especially since he was the inspiration behind this beautiful song.

1. Porter
2. Noel
3. Mccollum
4. Zeller
5. Adams

Obviously the first two are looking unlikely for the Suns, so CJ.

Give me B.More if he's still around. There may be a few doubters on these boards but I think he we grab him at #5, he'd be a steal. Otherwise I like Len and VO. CJ to a lesser extent.

I've warmed up to Zeller but at #5, it's still a bit of a stretch. Olynyk would be a great pick in the 2nd half of the 1st. He's like a 7" Dudley, great glue guy who does all the right things on the court and plays the right way. Offensively operates a lot like Scola except he's taller and more athletic. Doesn't play above the rim and not flashy either but great touch around the rim and has some decent back to basket moves.

Zeller at #5? Nah I could never warm up to that. Easily worse than Marshall at #5. Zeller would get manhandled by NBA big men and he's not good defensively which will hurt big time too.

And another thing that we all try to hide but remains true is that white big men don't do good in this league anymore. Kevin Love is about the only exception. (note: I said white not Euro so don't try to make an argument with the Gasol brothers, Dirk etc.)

I'm saying, I wouldn't mind Zeller later in the 1st but #5 would be too high for me.

Noel. Then McLemore/Oladipo (can't decide) and if both gone, CJ.

With McLemore and Bennett - there is no question about it.
I don't like Oladipo, as he's one-dimensional guy - an athlete, a jumper and runner. First injury will kill him.
I prefere Olynyk. First, he plays damn Zags basketball. Ice cold baby - face killer. Team player. Silent difference maker. A 7-feet-Hornacek-reborn.
With Len - I see a legit anchorman for the future, with place for offensive progress.
Zeller - it's my hazard. He can be an underdog of this draft. With so soft touch, hard nosed...
Offense wins games, Defense wins championships...

FYI: Please realize that half of the guys drafted in the lottery will be out of the league by the time their rookie contracts expire.
