The top 5 lottery picks are already a given (just not the order): 1) Fultz 2) Ball 3) Josh Jackson 4) Tatum 5) Fox.

It's safe to say these 5 will NOT be available. After that is where it gets tricky. Here are the next 4 (not in order) 6) Isaac 7) Monk 8) Smith 9) Ntilikina.

We pick at #8, which means 2 of the 4 listed players will be available for us. If we end up with any of these 4 prospects, would you be happy? I would. That's why I feel good about this draft. We're ensured to get a really good player. There is really no way to screw it up; just take who falls to us, and don't try to get cute and reach.

Sounds about right. Gotta see what happens before our pick. It only takes one GM to shake things up.

I keep saying its at least a 9 player draft, so we are guaranteed at least one of these players, which has to make you feel good. Ironically I can see Phil being the one to shake it up and take someone out of this group. Like Fish says, among others, I believe in Gaines and if we pick someone else I have faith in the pick. Just hope we can pick up some additional 1st round picks. So much talent in this draft.

Hoping for Isaac falls to #8, and then we're able to pick up a PG with a second 1st round pick. Wouldn't mind picking up a shooter in the second round too.

If Isaac and Laure M picked by 7, then Monk Smith and Frank N may All be available. Pick Monk !
