I'm going with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson based off of this mock. We really need a wing for Carroll insurance and Thabo is aging coming off a leg injury.

Jones & Payne don't make much if any sense as long as we have Schröder.

I do think the hype for RHJ has gotten a little out of control but if the kid had a consistent jump shot he'd be a lock as a top 10 pick in this draft. His defense is very good and he has a lot of athleticism/length. When DeMarre Carroll first got here he was a terrible shooter and 2 years later he has become a 40% 3PT shooter. So I think we will be able to work with him on his shooting.

I went with Bobby Portis due to our need for size. We've struck out a number of times on bigs in the first round, but Portis seems like a can't miss prospect. he won't be a superstar, but he will be a rotation player moving forward. has the size to play the 4 or 5 spot. His midrange jumper is money.

We need to get a contributor with this 1st round pick, something we've struggled to acquire in the 1st round of the draft.

Given the tie, let's go with the player most supported in the discussion, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Thanks for playing.

Let me throw a vote in for Justin Anderson as we don't need Payne or Jones if we're keeping our current PGs.
I am juggling between Anderson and Vaughan.....Vaughan gives us another threat, Anderson gives us a big of security at the 3.
