only doing the re-lottery:

  1. Tatum - easy #1 pick
  2. Mitchell - most allstars (tied with Tatum), most playoff success as the best player
  3. Bam - tough between Fox and Bam, but I’m going with Bam because he’s been the #2 on two Finals teams
  4. Fox - i do think he has a higher ceiling than Bam, so this was tough, but I think Bam is a little more proven
  5. Markkanen - love his game, i think he’ll continue to get better and rack up a couple more allstars, but he’s the least proven of these top guys
  6. Jarrett Allen - amazing defender, fits with almost any team, I think he’ll help the Cavs go far
  7. OG Anunoby - great two-way player, probably won’t get more than 1-2 allstars in his career, but he is a winning player
  8. Derrick White - this is where the draft falls off for me, but i think he’s a solid role player who can contribute on a contender
  9. Josh Hart - one of the best role players in the league imo
  10. John Collins - imo he’s empty stats but he’s still a decent role player
  11. Zach Collins - another decent role player, but hasn’t proven much on a non-awful team
  12. Kyle Kuzma - empty stats but not a terrible scorer
  13. Malik Monk - good role player who can provide a scoring boost
  14. Thomas Bryant - decent big man

Notable Misses: Lonzo, while im a big lonzo fan, i’m not convinced he’ll ever play another game again. Same with Jonathan isaac, he’s played 11 games in the last 3 years and i feel like he’s overrated when he does play. I was considering Monte Morris for the 14th pick, but I went with Bryant because its getting harder and harder for undersized guards to succeed unless they’re elite at something
