Out of those, I'd take Porter. The bomber squad of LaVine, Porter, Markkanen is intriguing.
Least favorite is Young, mainly based on lack of defence. His passing abilities look to be remarkable, and he is a good shooter.

But it will only get harder for Doncic in the NBA. The thing Doncic has going for him is that he seems to legitimately love playing basketball and those guys do seem to improve. But in order for him to be great those attack handles need to improve to overcompensate for his lack of burst and first step.
His first step and burst are fine it’ll take him a little bit to get acclimated to the speed of the game and to get his body in peak NBA form but it’ll happen
Your earlier example about the switch leading to a bad shot is what won’t happen that’s not him.
His first step and burst is average at best. And I’ve seen Doncic have to settle for step back j’s due to his inability to get separation.

Dresden wrote:I think with Young, a lot will depend on how he does in workouts. How well he shoots the ball, how athletic he grades out, etc. I would still put him at the very end of the top tier (or top two tiers, depending on how you break it down), although that is dependent too on how guys like Bamba and JJJ and Porter do in workouts as well.
I would think Young would not go higher than 4th, in my estimation, after Ayton, Bagley and Doncic. But he could pass Bomba, Porter and JJ, depending on workouts and what the FO thinks about his future development, his personality, his athleticism, his ability to guard, etc.
His passing is not going to go away in the nba. That's the thing I'd worry about the least. Or his ball handling. But his shooting, his ability to finish, and his ability to defend are all open to question.

3noD wrote:Young could be the best offensive player in this group. Once he has a real team around him and the special attention he’s receiving goes away, he may do damage. I wouldn’t rule him out. I still like Doncic and MPJ better, and would have a hard time passing on Ayton and Bagley if they are available, but I want Garpax to take a hard look at Young.
Davell wrote:If Porter falls to 6,7, or beyond.....Its because his back is a bigger question than what we may feel comfortable with too. If he's healthy, he's top 3.
He's hard to take for me, unless his medicals look great. And if they do, the only way we're getting him is if we move into the top 3. And I couldn't pull the trigger on him in that range.
If they don't and we've got him on the board at 7 or 8? Worth the risk to me. But, I can't pass up any of Ayton, Bagley, Doncic, JJJ, or Bamba for him, even if his medicals look good now. Just too risky, considering what else is available.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.
....While Foreman has had success with late picks, this could end up being Foreman's highest pick since being named GM. The Bulls could go best available or search for a prospect big man to pair next to Markkanen. If the Bulls miss out on Bamba or Jackson, it could make sense to move down into the Williams or Gafford range, especially considering that Foreman is no stranger to draft-day trades.
