The big board will have 2 sections, one if GA is on the team and we keep the pick, one if GA gets traded and we are rebuilding. No trades in this circumstance (although id love more capital in this draft) and I am assuming the top dawgs dont fall to 10.

Labaron Philon Jr.
If we keep GA and pick 10, we want someone who will be in the rotation immediately. It's unlikely we draft a starter, but at least a guy who can play. Burries is a dream player for the Bucks, size is solid, efficient, shooting, can rebound, and defend at a good level. Mara and Yaxel would be a seamless fit and play immediately. Ament I love as a talent, Carr/Swain/Tounde/Johnson/Jayden I know are mocked later, but I think this draft is so talented that any of the guys 10-20 can go anywhere. All of those guys have length, athleticism, and college success at a high level. Those 3 things translate super well historically to the NBA transition. I dont want us to take a PG, Rollins, and KPJ (hopefully we bring him back) are great and starters in this league, hard for me to sell any of the guys like Philon, Brown, or Fleming to be starters over them.

Not a lot of change, but Yaxel is a complete no without GA, too old. Ament moves up with his natural talent and upside. Jayden Q moves up, I really think there is a solid chance this kid turns into Bam. Koa Peat makes a jump as well, he cant shoot rn but everything else he does I love and hes young with a grown mans body and mindset
