Based on what we know now? He'd go 1st. I don't think it's really close really.
Based on what we knew last year before the draft? He'd probably go 4th or 5th.

i said #1 because he obviously is much better all around that probably most players. Jabari Smith has size and a jumper. makes it easier for the team taking him #2 to take him at #2.
like if Barnes played like he did with the Raptors in Y2 in Florida, he goes #1.

He was the ROY in a strong draft so probably 33. That’s where you find the real gems.

Scottie is going to abuse Banchero in the post next year and it's going to be beautiful to watch.

Not to say that none of those guys have a chance of being better than Scottie, but I wouldn't trade Scottie for the #1 pick this year and 3 future firsts along with it. He's our guy.

Stupid question, he obviously goes #1.
Last year was one of the strongest drafts in years and he just won ROY.

In this draft? I think he'd go 1 or 2, but I really like Jabari Smith as a prospect as well.

Jabari is going to go #1 and he can't create his own shot and he doesn't project as an impact defender.
This draft is being really overrated at the top. A lot of support players are going to be drafted with very high expectations.

The odds of him being an MVP candidate in the future are higher than any other player drafted last year or even this year.
It would be a mistake to not pick him at 1 in most drafts.

Nurse on The Raptors Show saying Scottie looks noticeably bigger, stronger, and smoother when shooting! Hell of a month progress.

If Scottie had stayed another year in college showing the skillset he showed for us last season, it would be hard to pass on him at 1.

Steelo's Draft Analyis throughout the past year
Must get a top 5 pick.
If you don't get a top 8 pick this draft is dead after that. The top 10 picks are already clearly defined.
We can't afford to get into the play in, because any pick after #12 sucks and there is a big dropoff.
The #20 pick is a really valuable asset and we are going to miss out on a really good player.

Had Orlando offered us #1 for Barnes, I hope we'd decline.
So I have to assume he'd go #1.
