I'm intrigued by Tatum and Isaac here, but Tatum seems to have some serious red flags regarding his defense and Isaac seems to be a bit of a project. I'm leaning Fox here, even though his selection is a bit of overkill for as long as Kemba is our starter. How much can Kemba and Fox play together? I need some more time to think on this selection.

Going with Tatum here. I think he gives us the best chance at a future go-to scorer with size to play SF and small PF. Defense concerns are there. As much as I'd love a great PG, if taking a PG this high, he better be able to play next to Kemba and I don't see that from Fox.

Still firmly believe Fox will be the best player in this draft

regretting my Tatum selection a tad the more I dig into his flaws. I might change it (will fix poll to allow for changes).

I feel like Fox is the best player, but not sure where he fits on our team considering his size and lack of shooting. Should I go BPA? Monk seems like the best fit for what we need, an explosive scoring combo guard with athleticism and slight chance of developing as playmaker. Isaac with the most potential, but might have bad hands and might just be a lanky defensive guy who never develops as a true offensive force. Then we have Tatum who seems to float in and out of games.

Need more time to think.

Might require creating a 2nd alias to prevent this potential travesty.

I'm voting Markkanen next if that makes you feel any better.

Isaac is a wonderful pick @ 4. I'd take him for PHX.
