These are my guys I'd want in this order..I believe we could either pick with our own picks or have the assets to trade up for any of these players

1. Issac (SF)
2. Giles (PF)
3. Markkansen (PF)
4. OG Anunoby (SF)
5. Bridges (sf/pf)
6. Rabb(PF)
7. Bam(PF)
9. Terrance Ferguson (SF)
10. TJ Leaf (PF)
11. Robert Williams (PF)
12. Hartenstein (PF)
13. Thomas Bryant (PF)
14. Tyler Lydon(SF/PF)

If we can't get any of those guys I don't want anyone else....other than the projected studs at the top of the draft but we'd have to give up too much to get a top 10 pick.

Terrance Ferguson is my sleeper pick. He isn't having the best season overseas but travelling across the world has to be hard on a kid. There are so many elite freshman in this draft, I promise everyone Terrance Ferguson was the best of them all at pretty much every all-star game this past spring/summer. Don't sleep on this kid. He was outplaying Fultz, Jackson, Tatum, Bridges, Ball, Monk, Bam....he was the best of all of them.

Which is perfect for us since the pick is lottery protected.

I think its lottery protected.

OG is a good ahtlete but he needs to learn to be a good basketball player. Watching a few games this year and I can see why he doesn't get a ton of minutes.

Best case scenario Clippers fall to the 16-18 range, which would give us a legit chance at guys like Rabb or OG

OG would be a dream come true. I feel like he has Ron Artest potential minus the crazy.

If we somehow get in the 20ish range at the end, there's a good chance one of these guys is on the board. Bridges, Hartenstein, Rabb all interest me of the guys above who I thin could fall to us. Maybe Anunoby could still be there due to lack of offensive polish as well.

I agree he has a lot of Ross in him but when you're picking in the 20's and can get a Ross type player you do it. I'm just saying I could see him falling in the draft and I'd take a flyer on him if he's there with one of our picks....especially our second 1st round pick. You can't pass that type of potential up that late in the draft.

No question we could. When you add Fultz, Jackson, Smith, Tatum, Frank, Fox, Ball and Monk to that list there's 21 players right there.

I'd take any 1 of those 21 players but I have a feeling come draft time a few of those 21 will decide to stay in college. The more this draft is playing out it looks good for us. All those players I mentioned fit our need. There's lots of 3's and 4's in the 10-22 range.

Even more for this being a good draft for the Raps is lots of the players in the top 10 don't really fit our needs. There's lots of PG's(Fultz, Smith Jr, Ball, Frank, Fox) and SG's(Jackson, Monk) in the top 10.

From a Suns/Raptors fan that was the worst game of the year. I swear we are the worst tanking team of all time. If we don't get a top 3 pick this draft that's 30 straight years of drafting outside the top 3.

OG Anunoby versus Nigel Hayes. OG outplayed him but not by much. Hayes was a disappointment while OG showed his potential but he needs to polish his offensive game.

I know you're right but I didn't want to say it. They guarded each other and it was pretty bad. OG was the better of the two - slightly.
