VOTE UP AND COMMENT DOWN BELOW FOR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS
Paolo Banchero (ORL) : Could be the Franchise Scorer the Magic needed also being paired with Wagner and Carter Jr in the Frontcourt would be elite, composed of offensive capability and versatility in this lineup. Chet or Jabari could've been a decent pick but Paolo has the best offense out of the three and has the physicality that the Magic has been longing for.
COMP : David West, Julius Randle, Anthony Davis
Jabari Smith Jr (OKC) : Would be an excellent fit for the OKC's playstyle, a 6'10 Combo Forward who grew some muscle this season and has scary long arms. He has great athleticism and has an elite defensive potential, he uses his length to be dominant scorer as well. This is what the Thunder needs which is a complete forward with a polished game, I would've took Chet if he wasn't injury prone or high risk.
COMP : Jaren Jackson Jr Plus, Jayson Tatum
Chet Holmgren (SAS) : The Spurs would go best pick available which is Chet Holmgren in the Top Tier of this draft, he can provide elite rim protection and solid guard skills. It is whether he can pull through in the next level with more dominant big and transfer his unique skillset into to the NBA.
COMP : Kristaps Porzingis, no other significant comparison
Jaden Ivey (IND) : Same as the Spurs, Indiana will be picking the best player to fall into their hands which is the explosive guard coming out of Purdue, Jaden Ivey. Ivey is also a great finisher who has defensive toughness, pairing him with the rest of the Pacers lineup would be the perfect fit as he brings explosiveness and scoring that the Pacers will be needing.
COMP : Donovan Mitchell, SG Ja Morant
Johnny Davis (DET) : A Johnny Davis and Cade Cunningham tandem would be great for the Pistons, as Davis brings his scoring in to the team and also is a dangerous defender similar to Cunningham as well. Having a big guard backcourt with both offensive and defensive versatility in Pistons' backcourt.
COMP : Devin Booker on Offense, Jrue Holiday
A.J Griffin (POR) : As Portland Trailblazers have traded lots of players to improve cap space for the free agency, they will have a better and refreshed roster next season. Drafting A.J Griffin will have them a 2-Way Wing who is a 3PT Threat and has a 7'1 Wingspan, as he has one of the highest floors in this draft also.
COMP : Victor Oladipo, College Justice Winslow, Jaylen Brown
Keegan Murray (POR) : Portland drafting Murray would be really good as he can contribute right away with his conditioned skillset and above the rim ability. Also is a pretty decent defender and would help the contending Trailblazers as a spark off the bench.
COMP : Kuzma, Obi Toppin
Kendall Brown (HOU) : Kendall Brown could be useful in the Rocket's playstyle as he can be a great athletic cutter and off ball player for the team, his defense is his significant trait wherein he can stop opposing perimeter threats.
COMP : Mikal Bridges, Gerald Green Plus
Bennedict Mathurin (SAC) : As supposedly, Kings are looking to contend next year and they will be needing an athletic wing who can shoot from 3 and can play good defense. Mathurin is also lengthy and can play an off ball role, he may have the chance to start for them as well.
COMP : Norman Powell, Devin Vassell
Jaden Hardy (NYK) : Knicks would go for the best player available and I honestly think it is Jaden Hardy. Despite his slump before, he has rose to the occasion multiple times and has shown his potential to be a lead guard in a team. He may offer shot creation for the Knicks and if he can unlock his defensive upside.
COMP : Markelle Faultz, Tyreke Evans, James Harden Lite
Dyson Daniels (WAS) : Dyson Daniels is an underrated pick in my opinion, people overlook his self creation but tend to forget his overall aspect. Daniels can deliver his outmost defense and playmaking ability also to rise in PnR situations, he is the point guard that the Wizards need.
COMP : Tyrese Haliburton, Joe Ingles
Jalen Duren (MEM) : Memphis will be picking Jalen Duren based on best player available, as he soon blossoms into his potential. Duren is a traditional center who has amazing defense and rising offensive play, his draft stock has been decreasing because of disappointment production in the Memphis Tigers.
COMP : Bam Adebayo Lite, Jahlil Okafor
Ochai Agbaji (ATL) : Atlanta is a for sure shot going to be a contender next season as they will be looking for a more conditioned mature prospect that would fit their lineup and make production right away, Agbaji is a lengthy wing who has athleticism and defensive strengths, he also has a bag in finishing through space.
COMP : Andrew Wiggins Lite, Jarrett Culver
Shaedon Sharpe (CHA) : Hornets are still looking for young talent and Sharpe is the right fit for them despite his risk of not playing college ball. Charlotte Hornets are arguably the best transition team in the NBA and having Sharpe would also be a good pair for LaMelo Ball, Sharpe also has defensive potential and has the right length to be a modern wing.
COMP : Brandon Roy, Vince Carter
