Jazz, Grizz, and Clippers being 2, 3, and 5 is brutal…

Prediction: Many of the highly rated guys will end up being picked higher than they should have been in retrospect, and there will be a guy picked outside of the top 8 that over performs. Just gotta get that guy at 9.

Brayden Burries, Mikel Brown Jr, Labaron Philon, or Yaxel

The pick will come down to one of these 4 I think

I'd personally go in that order. Brown has the highest ceiling but the back is a serious long term injury concern.

There's still so much talent in the 6-12 range. No telling where we land. Wagner, Acuff or Wilson could fall to us. Never know. Hell, I'll take Nate ament all day and worry about guard later.

What is good about the Clippers getting 5 is that PG is the only position they don't really need. But most of the 5-8 guys are PGs. So they may go another way (Nate Ament? Steinbach?)

Also, I don't think the Clippers really have the ability to really develop. Next year LAC gets the OKC 1st as a swap. They have no pick in 2028. Plus they still might (should) get punished for Aspiration.

Also lots of speculation that Atlanta would want Aday Mara at 8.

That would mean one of Brown or Flemings would be available at 9.

Hawks are a weird one because they need a center and they also need a PG and I think those PG prospects are way better than Mara.

Is their plan really to go in with 35yo CJ McCollum and Dyson Daniels at PG?

Or trade back. I truly believe we're going to see some movement with picks 5-12. It's just one giant glob of good players, and if you like a guy and LA doesn't, maybe it's an easy deal to work out.

I think trade back for them is a very real possibility, especially if they want Mara or something. They just have so many holes on that team.

The fact that Burries was basically 20 years old as a high schooler gives me the biggest ick. He's about to turn 21 years old as a "true freshman."

I feel this. IMO I'm taking a high upside pick at 9 now.
