  1. Peterson, in my opinion, is the most talented player here. Even if they sele Dybantsa, I think Utah will trade him.

  2. Dybantsa, the second most talented player in this draft, definitely won't go below the top two. Plus, he's an Utah native, they won't let him go.

  3. Boozer. Memphis will be afraid to take Wilson, but I wouldn't be surprised either. I think the Boozer hype will prevail, and they'll draft him purely to get people to remember Memphis.

  4. Wilson, a very talented, physical beast, I think he can become a franchise player. There's no better combination of physicality and talent below him.

  5. Mara, it all makes sense. The Clippers need a center. He had a great March Madness and raised their stock. I still don't think they should take him with the fifth pick, but for the Clippers, it makes sense.

  6. Wagler, a very strong prospect, I think he'll be a great fit for Brooklyn (they're not taking Acuff because they already drafted point guards in the last draft).

  7. Acuff, a March Madness and combine highlight, is a perfect fit for Sacramento and I hope he becomes their franchise.

  8. Flemings, who fell significantly in mock drafts because he disappointed in the metrics and has some questions about his shooting, but since their best guards have already been taken, he's heading to Atlanta as the biggest potential remaining, plus they need a point guard.

  9. Mikel Brown. Dallas needs a 1/2 pick, and he's the perfect option for them among the remaining players. He has much more offensive potential than Flemings, but is weaker defensively. He's been very impressive in the draft, plus he's been hanging out with Dallas for a while now (perhaps they'll swap picks with Atlanta so Mikel Brown can go to Dallas).

  10. Nate Ament. It's simple. They need talent. He's the biggest talent left, but he's very raw, but he has a very high ceiling. Will Milwaukee be able to develop Ament?

  11. Braydon Burries. He's a perfect fit for Milwaukee's system. He's a very good shooter with playmaking skills and isn't a hole in the defense. I think he'll be a perfect fit for them.

  12. Yaxel Lendeborg. Oklahoma City has everything they need, they just need size, meaning centers and power forwards. Yaxel is the most ready-made of them. The downsides are injuries and age. (I could take Steinbach or Chris Cenac.)

  13. Karim Lopez, who would add a shooting guard to Miami, is a decent prospect with good potential. He showed great performance in the measurements and shooting, and I think he has the potential to be a star in the future.

  14. Steinbach, the Hornets are short on center, and Chris Cenac could be another option to address that.
